Hello my fellow pirates I have a question for all. Is there a way to remove pop up ads from my mobile game ? They have been getting really annoying lately and wanted to know if there is a way to remove them. Thank you all for taking the time to comment.
Use adguard dns, it disables most (if not all?) ingame advertising for me. Set private dns to dns.adguard-dns.com
In your android settings, go to network & internet > advanced > private DNS and paste the link dns.adguard-dns.com into the box. All ads will assume you have no Internet connection. Doesn’t appear to work on YouTube, but covers anything from the Google Play store banners/videos/etc.
That’s because Google got wise to this trick and use their own internal values for DNS
no, DNS adblockers block certain web addresses that serve ads and Google has the same address for ads and videos, so blocking ads this way means you won’t be able to watch videos too
Disable internet connection. Try netguard or something.
I use a PiHole at home, combined with a Wireguard server, so my phones route all traffic through my home network, even when I’m out and about.
Try Blokada 5. It sets up a local vpn inside your phone and blocks all the ads and trackers. The application is free and open source. Don’t download it from the play store as it downloads version 6, which requires a subscription and does cloud stuff (version 5 instead works locally)

This right here, I’ve been using Blokada for the last few years and it stays on permanently. My biggest gripe is that a certain social media website (starting with an R) which we shall not name have their own built in ad platform which Blokada is useless against other than that it’s perfect.
Personally I’ve had some issues with ads getting through 5 on a few devices. Version 4 always works in those cases, even though it’s a bit less efficient (apparently).
Separate of that it also works with VPN Tunnel, which is great for getting around cell providers that block tethering.
They block tethering? For what possible reason? Is it something extra they charge for?
Yeah they charge for tethering. When I lived in a rural area with only dial up, only eight years ago, I got an Ethernet dongle I could plug into my computer and setup the connection to an old cellphone then unplug from the computer and plug that into the internet port of my router so our whole house could share the T-Mobile unlimited data and the cell phone only saw it as one device. Just left the phone plugged in where it got the best service. Even with the hotspot addon (+25$) I could only connect five devices. That added up a lot faster than I expected so the dongle ended up being my work around.
