It is essentially a piece of software code that eliminates advertised content from your browser while in use. AdGuard acts as an extension for Safari while browsing. They usually take the form of banners, pop-ups, and videos. Hopefully apps will provide for both (fake VPN & DNS), but so far one that i know has updated does not and now isn’t helpful as 14 ignores DNS setting too often and no VPN in status bar or similar letting you know it’s working or not working out and about with phone.Advertisements popping up on your screen as banners and floating windows are frustrating, which hinders your ability to effectively search the web. I do wish they would allow DNS setting to work when using a personal VPN otherwise I will still need to run a DNS app as a fake VPN. I knew something was different when I updated to next beta and my VPN app no longer appear as a DNS choice. Outside of leakage and not even respecting turning back to automatic DNS setting I did like having it working with regular and personal VPNs in that one ios 14 beta. Its being supported and actively developed by the amazing open source community. Checking more often now, and Its usually not working and using default of network. Blokada is the popular ad blocker and privacy app for Android and iOS.

I was thinking I was using my own DNS until I realized some things not blocked and checked. It’s almost the opposite of how it worked under a beta when DNS app took over all DNS regardless of setting or using regular VPN. I can get it to work at times, but using a VPN for a moment then using going off VPN seems to revert to default of Wifi or cell network even if one of the two DNS apps/profiles are selected. Other problem I have had is the new DNS selection for apps that support it or even AdGuard profile is it not actually using the respective services as DNS revolver most of the time. Hard to reconnect at times (or slow at least). I have been having problems with vpns as well.
