NextDNS 4+

I downloaded Next DNS over a year ago and ever since it’s augmented my online experiences. Whether it be video and music streaming or casual browsing, this app has done it’s job perfectly. But as of about 2 or 3 days ago I’ve stumbled across an issue. Whenever I use this app to skip crunchyroll ads the video leaps back 5 minutes or so from where the ad was. It’s somewhat of a minor issue but it still considerably disrupts my viewing experience. This is the first issue i’ve come across within my year of usage which is why i’ve chosen to give 4 stars. But if this issue were to be resolved i’d be delighted.

Been using Blokada for a long time but then they decided to make it paid. I can’t surf the web without looking at a bunch of “hot moms near you” ads so I was searching for many alternatives. Sadly, none of them worked. However after a bit of patience and resilience, I managed to find this amazing service. Not only does it provide many blocklists, it has a clean web interface with everything you could possible want from it. I highly recommend this app if you want to block the most ads possible.

I recommend using many blocklists to block the most ads possible and also keeping it on most of the time for best results!

These developers have come forward with a superb tool for protecting your privacy and also has some great security add-ones. I’ve installed this tool on all my mobile AND desktop devices. Go to their site online to get additional tools for the desktop. All tools and blocklists are configurable from the web page for your own custom setup. There is logging, so you can see what is being blocked and why.

You can also install this on a router to protect all the devices on your home network. Wish I was that technically savvy. You can subscribe for unlimited queries ($20 a year, CHEAP!) and frankly, they deserve the money.
