In android 9.0 pie and above we have an option to set Private DNS, this can be used to block ads on your phone.

STEP 1- Under Connection in Settings, scroll down and select More Connection Settings.

STEP 3- Select Private DNS  provider hostname and enter the following in the text bar


For Adguard DNS: dns.adguard.com      

For Adguard DNS and removing adult content: dns-family.adguard.com

Additional STEPS for using this with Google  Chrome-
Since Google Chrome uses its own DNS resolver, we need to disable that for ad block to work. 

STEP 1-
  • Launch Chrome app.
  • Enter the URL “chrome://flags”, without quotes, into the address bar.
  • You will see a new window with many flags.
  • Search for “dns”.
  • Set the “Async DNS” option to “Disabled” and close the tab.

STEP 2- You will also need to clear the prebuilt DNS cache.

  • Enter “chrome://net-internals”, without quotes, into the address bar.
  • Select the DNS tab, and tap on “Clear Cache”.
  • Restart Chrome.
Confirmed Working on-
Google Chrome
Samsung Internet (Just Clear Cache)
