System wide? For any ads on all apps will be blocked 100%?

thanks will take a look!
once in awhile an ad or 2 may slip in.. but most of the time it works really well in blocking the in-app ads.

when setting up your dns profile just remember to add in the "AdGuard Mobile Ads filter" list under the "Privacy" tab.

"AdGuard Mobile Ads filter
Filter that blocks ads on mobile devices. Contains all known mobile ad networks."

Don't see "Privacy" tab anywhere though.

after you have set up the dns profile on their website, there are a few ways you can set up the to dns run on your iphone/ipad. using the app is one of the way, but i prefer apple configuration profile method.

try not to add too many blocklists.. too many may break certain websites or cause you not to be able to access them.

my recommendation is to try it out using either 1 of these 2 combinations,
NextDNS Ads & Trackers Blocklist + AdGuard Mobile Ads filter

or

AdGuard DNS filter alone is sufficient (since it consist of easylist and mobile ad filter)

but of course you can play around with it and combine different lists, whichever works best for your use case.

if you come across sites that doesnt load, you can go into analytics to see what was being blocked and then add it to your allowlist. but as i mentioned, the best is to choose a minimal list that blocks most of what you dont need and still serves its purpose.

I am using NextDNS + AdGuard Pro. Good combo.

I paid for NextDNS since I put it on all my devices and the queries far exceed my limit. If anyone wants a referral, do let me know.
