Admittedly it’s been awhile since I’ve raw dogged the Internet. I’m traveling without my usual pihole. How does anyone do without ad blockers? Reading that was like trying to read an article surrounded by times square billboards. “Support our journalism, turn off your add blocker”. My ass
NextDNS and Firefox with uBlock Origin.
Now for Android as well 🎉🎉
uBO has been the first addon approved after Firefox rewrite, so it’s been pretty much always there.
‘Raw dogging the Internet’ for w/o ad blocker is now in my vocabulary
No idea but you can use Firefox mobile and uBlock origin in conjunction with switching your DNS to one that blocks ads. There’s also software that modifies your DNS locally.
I use reader mode on my iPhone.
Set up a DNS filter on your phone itself. I’ve got an Android phone and use AdGuard, but there are filters for the iPhone too 👍
You can use ublock origin on Firefox mobile. If you want a chromium varient that handle extension on mobile try kiwi.
I have AdGuard set up at home and OpenVPN so I can connect to my home network and route all my traffic through it. Gives the same ad blocking ability but without the need to travel with it.
Can I ask why you’ve taken this approach? I understand why you would use AdGuard at home, but couldn’t you just also use it on your phone/laptop as well when you are away?
Wouldn’t using the VPN to your home network just add extra latency? Or is there some benefit that I’m not aware of?
The main reason is that it lets me access my home network. So if I want to watch a movie or something I have stored on my NAS, I can do that without exposing that service to the internet. Or if I want to Remote Desktop into one of my computers. And it’s a decent way to protect Internet traffic while on an untrusted public network.
I used to use the AdGuard app on my iPhone, but 1) I found for whatever reason it didn’t seem to work as well as the standalone self hosted version. The way it works on phones is that it does some sort of local VPN trickery, and for whatever reason it’s like it would temporarily stop working. Who knows. But 2) now I just have a single instance of AdGuard to manage and get its benefits on all my devices. I don’t need to maintain lists or rules for the one running at home and separately maintain rules in the phone app version.
Ah ok. That makes sense. Thanks for your reply.
VPN to your home network and still use pihole.
I use AdAway on my rooted phone. Honestly there are plenty of ways to filter ads out on most devices.
Raw-dogging the internet…I love it. I’m using that from now on.
Pihole or not, every device has its options for adblocking.
