* Import or download [a hosts file](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)) using the NetGuard backup settings
* Disable browser compression (Chrome: three dot menu > Settings > Data Saver > Off)
* Wait 10 minutes to let the Android DNS cache time out
* Test if it works by opening [this page](http://www.netguard.me/test)

* applications, like the browser, may cache data, so you might need to clear caches
* applications, browsers mostly, that have a *"data saver"* like feature that proxies requests through their servers (eg. Opera w/ Turbo, Opera Max app, Puffin, Chrome w/ data saver, UC Browser, Yandex w/ Turbo, Apus Browser, KK Browser, Onavo Extend, Maxthon) will not have ads blocked as NetGuard can't even see those domain requests
* the test page only works using the hosts file downloaded from [here](https://www.netguard.me/hosts) (the default)
* which hosts (ad servers) will be blocked depends on the hosts file being used
* YouTube ads are not domain based and cannot be blocked
* NetGuard does not use the IP adresses in the hosts file, because it doesn't route blocked domains to localhost
* NetGuard does not concatenate hosts files, so you will have to use a source which does this for you or do it yourself
