You can also use something like AdGuard (Android/iOS) to block the ads on your phone. It's free. I personally used it and saw no ads on the site. Pretty easy to set up, too. You may need to tweak the filters a bit, though. Source: about 1 year ago

Find Private DNS in Settings, enable it and enter custom provider, either dns.adguard-dns.com or p2.freedns.controld.com should do the trick. If you need more control and filtering, https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html. Source: about 1 year ago

The Github release of NetGuard can do filtering with host file by itself https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/ADBLOCKING.md, another option is AdGuard app https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html. Source: about 1 year ago

Or use something like https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html or https://adaway.org/ or https://blokada.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

If it's in Private DNS settings, does it work when you try switching to other DoT provider like say, p2.freedns.controld.com or adblock.doh.mullvad.net? If they all also fail, then your network block DoT and you need to use DoH either with AdGuard app or others like Nebulo or Intra. Source: over 1 year ago

I use BlockBear and I'm very satisfied. Clean, simple, straight to the point. Nice UI, a couple of options and so far effective. Source: almost 2 years ago

(BlockBear)[https://blockbear.com/], then use the website rather than the app. Source: almost 2 years ago
