adblock only blocks for wifi connections?

[Roggus]

Open up the current APN your phone is using and write down all the settings (or take a screenshot). Create a new APN using all the same information except for the port name and settings (like you'd normally do for the wifi connection). It should be able to block over data then.

I followed your advice, and after some tinkering it now works! Thanks a bunch!!

I think you can use adblock in with your mobile internet (in GSM areas, for the others i don't know).
1. Go to "more.." in settings for wireless (first part of the settings menu)
2. Go to "mobile networks" (http://support.google.com/android/bin/a ... wer=169097)
3. Go to "Access Point Names" (http://support.google.com/android/bin/a ... 097#mobile)
4. then klick on the point with internet and gprs (not the same on all devices. at mine it looks like: "E-Plus Web Gprs" or "Provider" Web Gprs)
5. then set the proxy and the port like in your wlan settings

Like a boss!

Thanks man!

I pretty much use it just for my youtube playlists anyway. So this is a huge help when I want to play a playlist of like 40 music videos, and I don't have to listen to a stupid ad in between each song. Thanks for the help.

I have root.

It doesn't work for data connection.

Where, how and what do I need to do?

Every article I found is from 2012 at the latest and not relevant anymore at the slightest.

android v. 4.3
does this work for data connections or not (non wifi connections) ?

I confirm that this works perfectly. Maybe it is pertinent that the access point of my provider only supports IPv4, and not IPv6. Anyhow, the en/android-config page is misleading, giving the impression that adblock plus works only with WiFi, and not with mobile data connection.

Adblock is designed to block ads across various types of internet connections, not just Wi-Fi. Whether you're connected through Wi-Fi or mobile data, Adblock functions by filtering out unwanted advertisements as you browse. This means that you can enjoy an ad-free experience regardless of how you're connected to the internet. It's worth noting that some ad-blocking features might be more effective on certain browsers or devices, but the core functionality remains consistent across different connection types.

If you're also dealing with issues related to mobile data, like registering your SIM card, you might want to check out Talk N Text SIM registration. Ensuring your SIM is properly registered can help avoid connectivity problems that might interfere with your browsing experience.
