Is there any way to get adblock working with a VPN? I'm currently in the UK and I use TunnelBear to access Netflix etc. and just general safer browsing on this terrible internet I'm using. I don't really want to sacrifice the use of the VPN to be able to use adblock.
Any possibilities?

Maybe there's a way to route the ABP traffic through the given VPN's IP address?

I use a firewall which works as a fake VPN, unfortunately they are not compatible as the firewall sees everything as coming from adblock so the firewall becomes useless.
This has led me to uninstall adblock and use the firewall to block the ads instead. So you should be able to use them together without a problem as adblock and the fake VPN work fine for me, its just the firewall bit that doeesnt work but you dont care about that.

The problem is that whenever I activate the VPN, AdBlock is disabled and just says waiting on port 2020. It doesn't matter if AdBlock is activated before or after the VPN; either way it disables itself.

I am also using private internet access VPN and cannot use it in tandem with ABP - I imagine the localhost proxy address is not valid any more in this instance.
Please post if you find a solution as this would complete my mobile browsing experience.
