Hey all, I can’t seem to block ads in Jetpack Joyride on iOS. In using Unbound on Opnsense and I thought I had pretty good coverage - unless iOS uses a different manner to get ads on there?

    Almost every ad platform is moving to have their ad DNS server names into the same mix as content servers. Without packet sniffing they are practically indeterminate.

    Current list off the top of my head: YouTube, Netflix, Peacock, Disney, Paramount+.

    It’s more costly for them, but 🤷

    You have an outdated app that isn’t aware of that. Keep it until they force you to upgrade.

      Not sure why you’re downvoted; this is what’s happening.

      Don’t believe me? Try blocking ads on IMDB using DNS blacklisting ONLY AND still get the site to load properly.

          Then he shouldn’t have asked a question if he isn’t open for answers. If an answer is obviously wrong or dismissive of some important detail I would understand it. But if the complaint is It’s not a one-click-fix or I don’t understand what you’re talking about then that’s the best way of not learning anything and not solving the problem.
