AdAway
AdAway is a free and open-source ad-blocking application for Android that utilizes the host's file for its functionality. This software is fully open and adheres to the GPLv3+ licensing. Users can effortlessly incorporate their own sources of host files. Additionally, it allows for the inclusion of exceptions via a whitelist, a blocklist, and rules for redirecting traffic. It is important to note that AdAway may not function properly on mobile networks such as 3G. To resolve this issue, users can disable the proxy by accessing their chosen APN and clearing the proxy field. As a potential workaround, enabling the local webserver in AdAway’s settings is recommended. Users can also enhance their experience by adding redirection lists to their host sources, which can help reroute blocked DNS requests to the appropriate IP addresses in China. This particular host source includes redirection rules for various popular platforms like Google and Facebook. Furthermore, for devices that are running versions older than Android 8 Oreo, it is advisable to download and use version 4 of AdAway for optimal performance. This ensures that older devices can still benefit from effective ad blocking.
