It's good to review these guides and others as there's always some
little gem we forgot to try or that wasn't of much use "back then".

Good list, found a couple of new ones myself. However, that website is
awful. It barely readable and slowed my phone down significantly.

Works fine here on multiple devices, but then I've always used an ad

What ad blocker do you recommend for iphone? I have hush, but it feels minimal in its effectiveness.
Why not implement a good firewall instead of just the ad blocker itself?

1Blocker, AdGuard, and so on. I've used 1Blocker for many years and love
it. I've used AdGuard a few times and it's okay too. YMMV.

What's neat about this one is it utilizes a local DNS proxy to block
ads in any app on your device rather than just in Safari, which is
pretty handy. : )
1Blocker does this now with a local VPN, blocking ads and trackers in
apps. the data stays on on your device.

When did this firewall feature get added?
Isn't this the same as AdGuard's DNS VPN?

A local VPN is no use if you need to regularly use a VPN for work etc.

He's full of shit anyway. I've never needed to block ads in apps I've
used for work. That's not a thing many people will even need to deal
with.

actually, his situation is not unusual.
however, he is wrong that a local vpn is of no use.
many times an employer will require the phone to be on a vpn, but it
can still be used for visiting various sites where ads or other
undesirable content might appear (malware, gambling, adult, etc.),
including work-related activities.
personally, i use a content-blocking vpn (i.e., what he calls a local
vpn) and have no issues connecting to other vpns at the same time,
either one of the commercial ones or my own. android can't do that.

When I look at Settings > VPN, only one VPN is active at any given time.
But as I said, his bullshit argument is bogus since you don't typically
use apps with intrusive ads in them for "work".

ios groups vpns into two categories: vpn configurations and personal
vpns:
<https://i.stack.imgur.com/fa10f.jpg>
note the two separate toggles. either or both can be activated at any
time.
a vpn can also be app-specific or system-wide. refuting yet another
claim in the infamous disinformation 'document'.

Personal, meaning what?
I have these VPN configurations listed on my iPhone right now:
* Firewall by 1Blocker
* nostalgic_whale (ZeroTier app)
* us.vpn.airdns.org (OpenVPN app)
* Proton VPN
* Tailscale Tunnel
Only one of these can be active at a time.

claim in the infamous disinformation 'document'.
That's all well and good, but it's all not very relevant to the claim
that non-browser ad blocking is supposedly important for apps used for
work.

that's because they're all in the same group.
it's up to app developers which group to use.

it is if the workplace requires a vpn.
the point is that two different vpns can be active on ios if they're
from different groups, something that can't be done on android.
whether that's common or not is a separate issue.

for "work".

work is a scenario where there is often an active vpn, so any ad
blocking would need to be compatible with it.

1Blocker blocks ads perfectly fine in Safari *without* the use of a VPN.

but not in other apps, which is why some of them uses a vpn to filter
out undesirable content.
Which work apps have ads
that need to be blocked?
