Some apps escape the ad block but works with most of them.

This is a great app for blocking ads I recommend you using it thanks for ready, although sometimes it doesn't stop some of the ads, but this is a great app 4 blocking ads
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜† Lalu Korah ยท Nov 15, 2025
The app not blocking all adds. Some adds are still playing and taking us to play store. Please check the issue. When entering websites the app is performing very well and protecting our privacy.

Did not work at all. My intended use was to block in-app and in-game advertisements. Upon activating the firewall, the VPN did in fact enable, as per the icon on the top bar of my screen. However, it did not block ANY advertisements that popped up in apps and games. This app is nothing more than bloatware and will not serve you any purpose other than to take up space.
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† Clifford Dickinson ยท May 6, 2026
Does not work as expected. It does block add that rely on direct access to known add URLs (like banner adds at the bottom of a page). This DOES NOT automatically block adds that run at the end of each level. It offers the workaround of blocking apps (games) from accessing the internet entirely. This does block the adds at the end of each level. But it also blocks the parts of the games that need internet access (like getting a reward every 5th level by watching one add).
โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† Fujisaki Toru ยท Aug 15, 2025
Did not work, I tried blocking ads on a game I played that had ads every 5 clicks or so. The app straight up didn't do anything, wouldn't recommend.
