Idk if lucky patcher still exists, but i used it for a while.

If its an online game there’s not much to do.

If its an offline game that shows ads when you’re connected to the internet, then you can install a private local vpn like Tracker Control to specifically disable internet access to that app.

Invizible Pro also works iirc, but that might be overkill for your purposes.

Private DNS like NextDNS others didn’t work correctly for me but YMMV

pineapplelover,

Disable internet connection. Try netguard or something.

negativenull,

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.

This is how I do it. Haven’t seen an in-app ad for a very long time.

atlasraven31,

That’s very clever.

How to setup a pihole in router? I’m planning on getting a new connection

Try Blokada 5. It sets up a local vpn inside your phone and blocks all the ads and trackers. The application is free and open source. Don’t download it from the play store as it downloads version 6, which requires a subscription and does cloud stuff (version 5 instead works locally)

github.com/blokadaorg/five-android

Enjoy

thisisnotcoincedence,

This right here, I’ve been using Blokada for the last few years and it stays on permanently. My biggest gripe is that a certain social media website (starting with an R) which we shall not name have their own built in ad platform which Blokada is useless against other than that it’s perfect.

Personally I've had some issues with ads getting through 5 on a few devices. Version 4 always works in those cases, even though it's a bit less efficient (apparently).

Separate of that it also works with VPN Tunnel, which is great for getting around cell providers that block tethering.

mineapple,

Some OSes allow per app firewall, so the easiest way would be to disable network connection for that app in the android settings.

personalDNSFilter. All a man (or woman) needs for whole phone adblocking without requiring root.

0x2d,

root and AdAway

If your game doesn’t require wifi, airplane mode

Moonrise2473,

Root and myandroidtools. You then go to that specific app, list all the activities it can do, then disable any which has a name related to ads like “adsActivity”. At that point it can’t show full screen ads at all.

Some games they give you the reward immediately but nowadays the ad SDKs they can check if the ad was shown or not so it gives an error

Ozzy,
  1. Adguard DNS
  2. Blokada 5
  3. AdAway

I personally use AdAway after being a blokada user since blokada 3 but they kinda fell off imo

I use adaway

Copy paste this in your private DNS: base.dns.mullvad.net

OurMoneyIsBroken,

Yes Mullvad is the best.

YorddleZiggs,

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.

Scrollone,

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

Pulp,

I still don’t get why does the OS not allow it

I’m using private DNS on mobile data right now. It’s system wide and not dependent on WiFi

Pulp,

Private DNS

Settings > connections > more connection settings > private DNS

YorddleZiggs,

Thank you!

cooopsspace,

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.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

related way is to crack and remove the ads

Im1Random,

AdAway is a really good network based adblocker

I find using a DNS server that blocks ads gets rid of them. You just put the name of the server (like “dns.adguard.com”) in the private DNS field in settings and turn it on.

I find the setting on my phone in Settings > connections > more connection settings > private DNS

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
