It looks like if you use a hosts file for adblocking. Hulu will just sit at buffering when it tries to load the ad. Anybody else see this?

I'm using Adfree and didn't see this...
The hosts file I downloaded is definately the culprit for me. guess i have to find what I need to remove from my list. blah.
edit: removed everything that had "hulu" in name of my hosts file and it works fine now.
adfree blocks hulu tested myself
if its not then you're not using adfree correctly
just go into adfree and revert back to normal host fiand revert back to blocking after

if you're using CM7nightly roms its required to reinstall adfree's host file after every nightly update maybe you have adfree installed but not using adblock host?
works good. still showing annoyoing ads even when paying them but at least it works
Hello,
I am getting airpush like ads periodically on my Chroma ROM. Clicking on the opt-out link takes me to tracker.tpc.re page isn't available when trying to opt out.
Tried uninstalling every possible applications that were installed recently and also the ones which might contain ad codes. Tried using Airpush detector and opting out of Airpush.
Let me know your suggestions.
I'm on stock rooted so can't help with Chroma. I run Adaway with the MOAB ad blocker add on. Never seen an ad on anything.

I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM. Guess some app is causing it. I wonder if there was a way to find that app.. Like long press on a notification reveals the App. But this floating AD doesn't do that.
I am also running AdAway and am rooted.

rom toolbox pro has a menu that will tell you what ad host are in apps. its not foolproof and occasionally misses some, but maybe give it a try.
btw, its located under "dns changer" on the first menu screen.
I have had good luck with AdOns Detector. Free I the play store.
On the 7.1.1 open beta 3, rooted, system r/w, adaway applies just fine and after reboot no ads are blocked.
Anyone else facing this? What can I post to help me get this answered?
Adaway is the newest Feb 08 APK.
Edit: checking systemless does nothing different, data saver turned off on Chrome as well. No vpns.

Well I just got home and noticed that adaway works just fine on wifi... But no dice on data. Carriers proxy setting?
What kind of root u have?
What hosts did you add in adway!? It's for your location?
When you press download and apply in adway, it's says enabled?
What settings did you have in adway?
Because on my side, all seems to be good. Adway work.

Super su 2.79 SR3
I didn't add anyhosts, just hit download and apply.
No errors on apply. Reboot everything is active.
Default settings.
Here's what I found, on wifi adaway works, on mobile data it doesn't. Its because of my mobile carriers APN settings is defaulted to have a proxy set up. I have edited the APN without the proxy and everything works as expected, including adaway. Yay! Except I cannot send or receive mms without that proxy. So I'll have to suffer with ads on mobile data.
That can be fixed by setting up separate APN for MMS which uses that proxy, and another for default that's used for surf.
Hi everybody, i used to use adhell until the dev took it down, now disconnect pro is subscription based which is too expensive.
Is there any alternative that uses Knox to avoid the need for root?
Thanks!
Block this!
I use Samsung Internet with the adblock plus extension which works for blocking ads in browsers.
Adhell 2 is up and running on the Note 8, been using it over a week with no issues.

I tried it a few days ago and it rebooted and once back on kept crashing Touch Wiz. I had to uninstall it as it made the phone unusable. Currently using Blokada which has been working great.

thanks for the Blokaka mention. just installed it and it works perfectly. found an ad-ridden app to test it on an it was great.
my favs two ad-blocking apps (via VPN and non-root ) are DNS66 and Blokada
Another vote for Block-This. I used it on my S7E and am using it on my Note 8, both unrooted Verizon phones. Works awesome. But you do have to tolerate a notification icon for it. Small price to pay, IMO.
I used to use Disconnect Pro. Since it's yet to be compatible with Note 8, I've been using Adguard premium. It works like a charm. I love how it cleans the page.

I use Adguard Premium whenever I get a new phone before root. Works pretty well but I've only used it for 2 days on my Note 8 & only 1 day on my Note 5.
Only thing is I hate that there's 2 permanent notifications that you can't get rid of when it's enabled.
Block This! has been pretty hit/miss with what gets through. I've added my Adaway lists to block this but it's not all that great. I'll have to try the other mentions.
I tried Adhell2 but it just constantly reboots my phone. Soft reboot too, I don't see the boot logo, just the "enter your pin to continue the boot" thing.
For web browsing I've just been using firefox with the ublock origin addon. I don't have any suggestions for apps (most of the ones I use are paid and don't have ads)
These apps are not in the play store right? Could you guys post links, so I don't inadvertently download a malicious apk? :highfive:
I got really excited about Blokada until it said it has to be set up in Android as a VPN service. I already have a VPN service, IPVanish, and Android won't run them both.
Hello
I've tried every VPN based adblocking apps like Blockada, Block This, DNS66, Adguard, etc.
The one I use now is DNS66 with custom DNS filtering than filtering with the hosts file.
To do this, Install DNS66 and open the app. Go to "Hosts" tab and disable filtering there. Now switch to DNS tab and deselect all the DNS there and add the Adguard DNS addresses. They are as follows:
176.103.130.130
176.103.130.131
Enable the newly added Adguard DNS and switch the Custom DNS filtering button on. Now go to the main Tab and click start.
I've found this method to have very minimal battery impact compared to the others. And also, there is no slowdown of the internet speed. :good:
Enjoy!

Can confirm working again. I was lucky enough to get Disconnect Pro when they had a free offer a while back

Yeah, that's annoying, but I find that it does wear down my battery (especially while on standby) far more than I'm comfortable with.

Any concerns in regards to the actual app having so much invasive control over your device?

Not really. But it has stopped blocking Ads on my device again. I'm using Blockada now. What I liked about Disconnect is that it's not VPN based, so I can use another VPN to get around the internet restrictions in Indonesia at the same time.
the application genius stream refuses to work because of adaway it asks me to uninstall the application adaway. Is there a way to make Genius Stream believe that he has no adaway on his phone?
Look the problem.

two possible options; firts, turn off adaway before running the app. The second one, I dont remember but I am quite sure that adaway has a whitelist mode to put your on apps/domains to pass the firewall. I dont remember because I dont have root and I use Adhell3 and in this app there is that option.
Hope it helps
