So i decided to download Luna VPN on my new iphone 15 pro and i realized it doesn’t block youtube ads anymore. Just to make sure the problem was not on my phone only, i went back to my old iphone 12 which already had luna vpn installed and i tested it on the phone but still, the youtube ads play. I tried to uninstall and reinstall on and off but no hope. Is anyone else facing this issue?
Probably for first time I’ve watched YouTube with ads this long. It’s unbearable. How can people stand it. Even 45 sec videos have an ad in the beginning. Hope a fix comes soon.
Hi OP, thanks for letting us know and apologies for the delay. YouTube has implemented some experimental changes in recent months which has caused ads to not be blocked properly.
We are currently investigating this issue and are working on a fix. Thanks again for your patience and letting us know!
I am, I tried contacting the company but got no response. This has been going on for several weeks now, almost a month I’d say
Thank god it’s not just me, this started happening to me literally the day you made this post, sometimes when this happens it usually gets fixed after a day but this is the longest it’s gone for me, these ads are getting unbearable
idk if anyone’s mentioned this yet but Luna not working has also made YouTube run slower in general, at least for me. videos are taking way longer to load because it’s trying to load the ad before playing the video. it’s been out for me for about a week. normally when this happens i’d get angry to the point of buying YouTube premium but i simply don’t have the money. it’s been tough adjusting to the ads because seeing them makes me irrationally angry.
After update 17.4. Luna VPN doesn’t work.
It’s very strange, on mobile phone it seems to have stopped working, but if you’re using iPad, it works? I’ve tested it and everything from the iPad side of things is good.
How do people watch with ads? It’s driving me nuts. Hope they fix it soon
I thought it was just me because I’m on iOS 18 beta. For me it stopped working in the day of the event when I installed the update
try 3rd party apps. like Viddle.
I have been having the same issue for weeks and it’s so frustrating. Can’t stand YouTube ads.
If anyone wants an alternative while the Luna team addresses the new iOS update, try Brave as I’ve been using it since this whole mess started and it’s not quite as good as the YouTube app but it definitely blocks ads and app layout of YouTube is not too different.
It’s 100% the YouTube update that has caused it, google team getting smart by the looks of it, I have 2 iPads, one updated YouTube and that stopped working, other one didn’t update YouTube and still works, then for some reason, that iPad also updated and now both don’t work, even with auto updates switched to off, seems yt forced the update
the unskippable back-to-back fifteen second ads are really ticking me off
Hi OP, we have implemented a fix that restores adblocking on YouTube. Note that after turning the VPN on, it may take some time before the YouTube adblocking goes into effect (up to 12 hours), but usually much shorter. Alternatively, you may also delete / reinstall the YouTube app to force the VPN to immediately use the updated adblocking method, if you prefer.
Thanks again for your patience while we investigated the issue, and feel free to let us know if it’s working for you!
hi luna stop working again, waiting for quick update.
I’m fuming in anger every single time I’m forced to watch ads on YouTube. I legitimately hate them with a passion. Luna vpn needs to come back online asap.
Sounds great! Hopefully you guys figure out a way to make it all work again. Keep on fighting the good fight.
Thanks for your hard work! I’ve been using your VPN for 7 years, and swear by it.
