How a VPN ad blocker works
VPN ad blockers work at the DNS level. When an app or website asks for a known ad, tracking or malware domain, the VPN simply doesn't answer, so the request never goes out.
Because it works for the whole device, it also blocks ads and trackers inside apps, not just in the browser. Pages load faster and use less data.
It's less thorough than a browser extension, which can also hide the empty space ads leave behind and block ads served from the same domain as the page. Many people use both.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest VPN with an ad blocker?
FastestVPN is the cheapest of the 12 VPNs on this page, at $0.83 a month when you pay for 2 years. PrivadoVPN follows at $1.11.
Does a VPN ad blocker block YouTube ads?
Usually not. YouTube serves ads from the same servers as the videos, so DNS blocking can't separate them. A browser extension does a better job there.
Do I still need antivirus with a VPN ad blocker?
Yes. The blocker stops known malicious websites, but it doesn't scan files you download or programs on your device.
