How does fogu block ads on iOS?
fogu uses a privacy-focused VPN setup and DNS filtering to enforce rules across the whole device.
Filter
fogu applies system-wide DNS filtering and blocking rules for ads, trackers, malware, and phishing endpoints in apps and browsers.
Tune
Run the network test on restricted networks, use AdBlock-only mode without a VPN tunnel, and manage allow rules, block rules, or imported blocklists by URL.
Protection
Which ads and trackers can fogu block?
fogu filters at device level, so protection reaches far beyond one browser.
Ad networks
fogu blocks known ad domains system-wide in apps and browsers, including many requests behind banners, popups, and tracking-heavy placements.
Tracking
fogu blocks tracking endpoints that try to combine activity across apps, browsers, and embedded web views.
Malware and phishing
fogu also filters known malware and phishing endpoints so risky domains are stopped alongside ad and tracking infrastructure.
IP protection
When the VPN connection is active, your traffic exits from the selected fogu location instead of your local network IP.
All apps
fogu works system-wide on iPhone and iPad, not just in Safari or a single app.
Custom rules
You can manage allow rules, block rules, and a custom blocklist imported by URL.
Protocols & locations
Every protocol at every location
fogu offers 7+ global locations, and every location supports Shadowsocks, WireGuard, VLESS TLS, and VLESS Reality.
Automatic or manual protocol selection with an integrated network test for restricted networks.

DNS routing & rules
How do DNS routing and custom rules work in fogu?
fogu makes rule control visible when you need more than default blocking: allowlist, blocklist, imported lists, and AdBlock-only filtering belong to the same iPhone flow.
Allow and block rules
Add allow rules when a site or app needs an exception, and block rules when a domain should be stopped in apps and browsers.
Imports by URL
Import your own blocklist source by URL and combine it with fogu DNS filtering so routing decisions stay understandable.
AdBlock-only
Use AdBlock-only mode when DNS filtering and blocking should stay active without routing traffic through a VPN tunnel.

fogu is made in Germany, needs no user accounts, and logs neither browsing history nor IP-related activity or communication content.
