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.

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.

Copy paste this in your private DNS: base.dns.mullvad.net

Sorry for the stupid ask… but where would I change DNS settings for data connection on stock Android (OnePlus OxygenOS)? I just spent 10min looking but can’t find a setting that would allow me to setup DNS config.

You cannot, you can only change them for WiFi. You need an app that pretends to be a VPN in order to change them for your data connection

I’m using private DNS on mobile data right now. It’s system wide and not dependent on WiFi

  1. Adguard DNS
  2. Blokada 5
  3. AdAway

I personally use AdAway after being a blokada user since blokada 3 but they kinda fell off imo

CalyxOS has a firewall built into it.

Install app. Firewall it. Enjoy your free game, provided the Devs aren’t assholes. Provide 1 star rating if they are.

Root and myandroidtools. You then go to that specific app, list all the activities it can do, then disable any which has a name related to ads like “adsActivity”. At that point it can’t show full screen ads at all.

Some games they give you the reward immediately but nowadays the ad SDKs they can check if the ad was shown or not so it gives an error
