Sorry for the stupid ask... but where would I change DNS settings for data connection on stock Android (OnePlus OxygenOS)? I just spent 10min looking but can't find a setting that would allow me to setup DNS config.
You cannot, you can only change them for WiFi. You need an app that pretends to be a VPN in order to change them for your data connection
Private DNS
I use a PiHole at home, combined with a Wireguard server, so my phones route all traffic through my home network, even when I'm out and about.
That's very clever.
This is how I do it. Haven't seen an in-app ad for a very long time.
I've been using nextdns.io with great success. It let's you customise your settings and gives you a personal URL to paste into your private DNS
AdAway is a really good network based adblocker
Use adguard dns, it disables most (if not all?) ingame advertising for me. Set private dns to dns.adguard-dns.com
In your android settings, go to network & internet > advanced > private DNS and paste the link dns.adguard-dns.com into the box. All ads will assume you have no Internet connection. Doesn't appear to work on YouTube, but covers anything from the Google Play store banners/videos/etc.
That's because Google got wise to this trick and use their own internal values for DNS
no, DNS adblockers block certain web addresses that serve ads and Google has the same address for ads and videos, so blocking ads this way means you won't be able to watch videos too
TIL
That's actually pretty clever
related way is to crack and remove the ads
CalyxOS has a firewall built into it.
Install app. Firewall it. Enjoy your free game, provided the Devs aren't assholes. Provide 1 star rating if they are.
