Are you tired of annoying ads popping up everywhere while you're using your Apple device? Well, you're not alone! Many people find ads disruptive and intrusive when they're trying to enjoy their favorite apps or websites. If you're looking for a solution to block these pesky ads without having to jailbreak your device, you're in luck! In this guide, we'll show you how to set up a system-wide ad blocker on your Apple device without the need for any complicated jailbreaking.
To achieve a seamless ad-free experience on your Apple device, we recommend using a combination of a reputable ad-blocking app and some simple configuration settings. One popular ad-blocking app that works system-wide without the need for a jailbreak is "AdGuard." AdGuard is a powerful ad-blocking tool that not only blocks ads in your browser but also in other apps and throughout your device.
To get started, head over to the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and search for "AdGuard." Once you've found the app, download and install it on your device. After installation, open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to set it up. AdGuard will walk you through the initial configuration process, including enabling the necessary filters to block ads effectively.
Once AdGuard is set up, you can configure it to block ads across your device. To do this, go to the "Settings" in the AdGuard app and enable the "Safari Content Blocker" option. This will ensure that ads are blocked while you browse the web using Safari. Additionally, you can enable the "DNS Filtering" option, which will block ads in other apps and throughout your device.
Another important step in setting up a system-wide ad blocker is to configure a custom DNS server on your device. Changing your DNS server to a custom one, like AdGuard's DNS server, can help block ads at the network level, providing an extra layer of protection against intrusive ads.
To change your DNS settings, go to the "Settings" app on your device, then tap on "Wi-Fi." Find your connected Wi-Fi network and tap on the "i" icon next to it. Scroll down and tap on "Configure DNS." Select "Manual" and tap on "Add Server." Enter the IP address of AdGuard's DNS server, which is "176.103.130.130" for the primary server and "176.103.130.131" for the secondary server. Once you've added the servers, tap on "Save" to apply the changes.
By combining the power of AdGuard's ad-blocking app with custom DNS settings, you can enjoy a truly ad-free experience on your Apple device without the need for jailbreaking. Say goodbye to annoying pop-ups and banners, and browse the web in peace!
