* **ad blocking is provided as-is**, see also [here](https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71805655&postcount=4668)
* **ad blocking is not available when NetGuard was installed from the Google Play store!** (disable automatic updates of NetGuard in the Play store application)
** Some browsers (and also apps) now use DNS over TLS (DoT) or DNS over
HTTPS (DoH). If one of the two protocols is active in the browser,
NetGuard cannot "see" the outgoing DNS requests (due to encryption).
They still flow through NetGuard, but are not treated as DNS requests,
but as normal connections (via port 853 or 443). It is therefore not
sufficient to disable Private DNS within Android, but you must also
check the settings for DoT and DoH (especially for browsers).
