For context, I’m on an iPhone using Firefox. I can’t use uBlock Origin, but am ready to block on the DNS level after this.

    You can still block ads on a DNS level. Simply add, base.dns.mullvad.net as your primary DNS Server and that should do you a lot of good just there. I’m sure there are additional steps one could take as an iPhone user though.

      I didn’t know Mullvad did a DNS service as well as a VPN, let alone that it has some ad blocking profiles. Thanks for that!

      This must be done at each network’s settings doesn’t it? At least I can’t see an option in iOS to use a DNS system wide, like we have in Android.

        Don’t have an IPhone so wouldn’t know, but that does seem annoying indeed. It is possible to just change your DNS on the router instead. And or use a VPN that also includes a different DNS.
