After Apple's recent policy change, all VPN-based adblocker in the appstore, including Adblock for iOS have been banned by Apple, which was a dissapointment to all users, but the developers of Adblock have found a way around this with their most recent v4.1 update release which introduces a combination of a new DNS proxy based blocking mechanism and a Safari content blocker. On top of that, the v4.1 release now includes the ability to export/import rules and lists from and to your device, along with a new module that lets us import rules straight from a .txt file instead of having to copy paste anything.
If you're already an Adblock user before the v4 update and you had icloud enabled for adblock, then according to the developers you should already have the previous rules in adblock imported to the DNS proxy rules. If not however, the video below will show you how to import rules from a raw .txt file, I've gotten adblock's official list that they use as a default here so we'll use that:
Updated domain list : goo.gl/rs8xDQ
The second new feature that was implemented is the ability to share your DNS rules with other adblock users using the export/import function. Say, you have created a list that works very well to block ads, you can now share that entire list with another user with just a few taps instead of having to copy every single rules over. Or you can simply use this feature as a back up for your rules, in case you lose your custom rules list for whatever reason. This feature allows for either the entire list of rules that you have or just certain groups. You can share the list via email and adblock will automatically import all the rules from the exported file :) The video below will demonstrate how this function works:
*in the video I after exporting the list, I deleted all of my rules in order to show how they will get imported once again, this is not a required step.
With that said, Adblock should now be working really well with the new rules, I hope that this tutorial have helped you. :)

Thank you so much for this! My disregards to Apple for scamming its users.

ReplyDeleteHey i was wondering is there a way to block crunchyroll ads in Adblock?
ReplyDeleteI have discussed this with the developers of adblock, and sadly it's not really possible, you can use the DNS log to find and create new custom rules, but it doesn't work with all of their ads :/
DeleteIt is super easy, block scontent.xx.fbcdn.net the animes will try to load the ads, but the ads themsef will be blocked
Deletescontent.xx.fbcdn.net will block some functions of messenger. Facebook ads are sadly not blockable by hosts.
DeleteWow... this actually worked blocking ads on another app in my iphone x. Impressed by the user who did this, and not happy with ad block for not implementing it automatically.
ReplyDeletethanks alot :) credz to the devs actually, because I didn't just figure this out, they helped me out greatly with this tutorial, so I just decided to share the knowledge :) and to clear their names a bit, I did ask why it wasn't implemented by default, and it turns out, that the app would almost certainly be banned from the appstore if this feature was implemented by default, that's why I made this article myself, because they can't even make their own tutorial showing how to do this without risking the app being banned
Deletethank you :)
ReplyDeleteHi, is there any way to block ads in Overcast and Tapatalk?
ReplyDeletehere‘s a list,that heavily focused on in app ads,not like some others which are hosts files based on PC ads.(someone collected them from the Dns Monitoring section)
DeleteThey have literally blocked all ad domains which are being invoked in apps. For Safari though I suggest you to use Adguards content blocker in addition to the current adblocker,because you can‘t block any specific content on a website with hosts files.
Im an idiot, heres the list: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1PbyjB4Bk5nSL3IaPdtVhm4Srs5iKmzfD
DeleteThanks
Deleteis that list updated frequently ? it dose not block in app ads on games by Ketchapp, such as Knife Hit, Dunk Line, .. etc

DeleteThis man actually copied all domains from my very old list.
DeleteHow do i know? I saw some normal words in the list like many or on, that were exactly in my old list(Dont ask me why). Also the domains with two dots.
Here is my updated one: https://github.com/BlackJack8/iOSAdblockList
It’s not working for me for some reason
ReplyDeletemust the file be on a website?
ReplyDeleteHow do I import a local hosts file that's on my Mac?
I figured it out:
DeleteTo create your hosts file:
First of all, get it from a source like https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts or create one yourself.
Open it in Pages or Word, and SAVE it in a TEXT ONLY format. On a mac, I suggest iCloud/TextEdit directory.
THEN copy the Hosts file to the iPhone:
I used an app called FileExplorer to select the file on iCloud, and copy it to a Local/Downloads directory. DO NOT IMPORT A FILE ON THE iCloud drive into AdBlock, or you will forever have a message “Syncing iCloud”!!! USE A LOCAL FILE!
Now, to import the Hosts file into AdBlock, do the following on your iPhone or iPad:
If AdBlock isn’t running (which it always should be) then start it.
in DNS settings: click “Settings”, then “Import DNS rules”.
Next, open the “Files” utility, click on Recents and single click on your Hosts-Adblock.txt or whatever you named it.
Now in the upper right corner, see the box with the UP ARROW? Click that.
Scroll the color App icons from right to left until you see “Copy to AdBlock”, and click it.
Your Adblock DNS import window should pop up. Click the “DONE” button in the upper right corner.
Watch it import your hosts settings. It takes about 60 min on iPhone 7.
This list is not based on mobile ads. If you add all hosts from stevenblack, it will slow the device down. Try out my list: https://github.com/BlackJack8/iOSAdblockList

ReplyDeleteHow do I get Words with Friends to eliminated ads?
ReplyDeleteIf the ads are coming from the same server, then you can't. That is what sucks about these apps that require Internet and uses the same servers to be work. :(
DeleteThanks for a great app. Can it also block ads in YouTube app?
ReplyDeleteWhen I typed in ip as shown in the video, it appears to be “0.0.0.0” for ipV4 and “::” for ipV6. But it is “::00” for ipV6 in the video. I don’t know what I did wrong.
