Yes you can, it works with any vpn service, it just needs configured. I use it with Private Internet Access.

No.I want to use the proxy for my apps.For eg playstore can be accessed from browser but not app because the proxy is not configured.

What are you talking about
What proxy are you using? It's an app your installed? Proxies are for browser usually i don't understand why you're talking about app and proxy that doesn't work together.
Can you tell me more about what you try to do?

no becoz the wifi uses a proxy and only thru dat internet can be accessed.

So you're trying to say that only the browser works and all other apps have no internet access?? Facebook and stuff?
Edit: Finally understood the situation, if you're using the schools wifi and they blocked apps to work (my college wifi does that too), the only way to get it to work is if they unblock it themselves. That's why you should get a data plan lol

Haha! Here we are! You're trying to bypass the security proxy of the wifi
If it's your wifi desactivate it, if you're in public place or school, you're *****ed

Is VPN an option for you? Sounds like deep packet inspection to me. If you'd use VPN your whole traffic will be encrypted. So no dpi to look in your traffic

Looking for an adblocker

Hi all,
I'm used to having rooted devices, but I'm not sure how to do this on Mi9, and can't lose google pay anyway so this isn't an option for me.
Is there an adblocker out there that I can use on mi9 that doesn't work as a VPN and without root?
Many thanks in advance,
Andy

Adguard for non rooted phones

I am very happy with Blokada, also non root.
EDIT: sorry, this does work as VPN, though !

Thank you but both of these solutions need VPN. Is it possible to root this phone but keep Google pay?
I think it's magisk I've used for this in the past

Magisk is not working yet on the MI9.

AdGuard emulates a VPN. In no way it conflicts witg google pay.

You must check "Show advanced options" in your VPN profile and manualy setup DNS servers (1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8 for example). After this you can enable "always on" mode.

Ad blocker

I'm rooted, using Adaway, but I see more ads in my Chrome browser than ever before. What's the ad blocker everyone is using? I prefer a non VPN type solution. I think that's what Blokada is?

Just go to settings>connections>more connections>private DNS and change it from automatic to private and type this address in it
dns.adguard.com. all of my ads are permanently gone.

Hmm, I never found that to block ads in apps. But maybe a combo of adguard DNS and Adaway would work.

In apps is only blockada worked for me so far

Adguard looks setup in DNS but the adguard test page says it's not setup.

Try with nextdns.io

Does this page show it's active for you?

Since you're rooted, can use Adguard and use it via proxy instead of VPN.

At the top it says not enabled but at the bottom suggests I am? This is with just the private DNS setting. It looks like this with the app, too.
