AdGuard Pro — adblock 4+

Same as AdGuard Premium

This app only blocks ads for Safari. A previous reviewer called this app “the perfect solution for system wide ad block”. This is no longer the case. That review is misleading and should be removed. This app will NOT do system wide ad blocking. If you have AdGuard Premium you don’t need AdGuard Pro, they are basically the same.

Superb ad blocking solution

Adguard is a phenomenal app for blocking ads in Safari and also system-wide. It provides 3 different features to do filtering in Safari, and system wide.

1. Content Blockers (Safari browser only)
2. DNS change: adguard let’s you choose from a few different DNS servers that support upstream ad blocking. It works for mobile and/or wifi connections. Filtering doesn’t happen directly on your device, instead it relies on the upstream DNS server to have a good quality blacklist and not respond when your iOS device asks for the IP address for a domain that is on the black list. You’re subject to the privacy policy of that DNS company. 3. DNS Filters: Adguard downloads a domain blacklist file and is stored on your Before your device asks an upstream DNS server for the IP address of a domain, it first checks the blacklist it has stored, and if the domain is on that list then it won’t be able to connect at all. It works system wide meaning it can block third party apps from contacting known advertising domains, and therefore ads often don’t load. This particular feature is hidden by default and is only visible if you turn on advanced settings and use a pseudo-VPN profile instead of the native DNS option.

Developer Response ,

I will tell you a secret: AdGuard DNS works the same way as the feature you are talking about :) please update the app and choose our DNS server in DNS settings.

AdGuard App

I used to think AdGuard was great.
Lately I’ve had No End of Troubles
with AsGuard!
It blocks all the Wrong Things:
Even blocked the App Store 🏬
and Apple Care as well.
Someone modified AdGuard to
the point where I can barely use it
successfully now, and most of its
features work very Badly now
If at all!
(It used to be very good: but,
“Why fix it if it ain’t Broke?!!”
as Australians often say about
a product which was once good.
In addition to this functionality
problem, the layout and format
now are simplistic
and unprofessional.
I myself have fairly high
mechanical aptitude,
have used the Internet for years,
but I find AdGuard almost impossible
to use now - and it’s graphics are
Woeful - a retarded Child could
have designed a far better Version!👎
I’ve finally Canceled my Subscription
to AdGuard, and deleted them entirely.
I think they were causing
frequent Connectivity problems
as well, because since I deleted
them, things appear to be
back to normal
on both my Devices.👌
I’m using AdBlock Mobile at present
which seems OK thus far. 😌
I can also recommend SurfPro VPN
to online users, but surely SurfPro
Could offer a wider Choice of Cities!
There is only Sydney available
in Australia 🇦🇺,
and only São Paulo is available
in Brazil 🇧🇷. - Otherwise it’s a
fairly good VPN. 👍
Their Customer Support is very
helpful as well. 🤠😅
