EvilOmega99 · March 6, 2025, 4:28am

Apart from the first recommendation, the rest are rubbish… And wtf, Aloha Browser?! You could also mention WindscribeVPN which is also in F Droid

These work in many countries and works faster than others for sure and has never failed while travelling

Ad Blocking with NetGuard
-------------------------

Instructions (you need to follow **all** the steps):

1. Download/install the latest NetGuard version [from GitHub](https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases) (ad blocking is not possible with the Play store version because Google does not allow ad blocking apps in the Play store)
1. Enable the setting *'Filter traffic'* in the advanced options (three dot menu > Settings > Advanced options > Filter traffic; default is disabled except always enabled in Android 5.0 and earlier)
1. Enable the setting *'Block domain names'* in the advanced options (three dot menu > Settings > Advanced options > Block domain names; default is enabled)
1. Import or download [a hosts file](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)) using the NetGuard backup settings (three dot menu > Settings > Backup > Download hosts file)
1. Disable browser compression (in Chrome: three dot menu > Settings > Lite mode > Off)
1. Wait at least 10 minutes to let the Android DNS cache time out (clear via Chrome: [chrome://net-internals/#dns](chrome://net-internals/#dns))
1. Test to see if ad blocking works by opening [this page](http://www.netguard.me/test)
1. Enjoy ad blocking, but don't forget to support application developers and website authors in other ways

It is warp vpn 1.1.1.1

MostEntertainer130 · March 6, 2025, 4:28am

I think he’s talking about this app:

I was also confused, because the page doesn’t say anything about VPN, but many refer to this app as “Cloudflare VPN”. Would you know more about this?

Windscribe does not work most of the time based on accessibility in most countries in terms of barriers of entry

That_Pandaboi69 · March 6, 2025, 4:28am

I’m no technical wizard, but this isn’t a VPN.
The app has two modes the regular 1.1.1.1 and Warp+, the former changes your DNS to literally cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 you can change this manually too by going to your network settings and change the default dns to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1.
Now Warp+ is just all the features of 1.1.1.1 but claims to be faster but runs on limited data. You can get unlimited data via a monthly subscription or get 1gb per invite.

MostEntertainer130 · March 6, 2025, 4:29am

I understood. It must just be a Cloudflare tunnel and everyone mistakes it for a VPN. Thanks.

That_Pandaboi69 · March 6, 2025, 4:29am

I always thought it was just a dns resolver but I might be wrong. I’ve seen people say Warp is a vpn.
