I’ve been using Adguard Free on Android for about a year now and I like how it works. I discovered it does not block trackers unfortunately. I’m thinking of buying a lifetime subscription. Is it worth it?

It seems like an all-in-one package for all my devices, which would save me a lot of thinkering.

Or would I just go using other providers like Mullvad or Pihole in the future? I mentioned Mullvad because of the VPN service, I think Adguard has that included too. Would that be safe to use for torrents? I live in the EU if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

    I’ve been using it and it works pretty well. It won’t block all ads in some apps (like kids games) at least with the default config, but it’s saved our devices from gigs worth of ads. I think on my wife’s phone it’s blocked something like a million ads and I’m sitting at 580,000 blocked on mine after about a year. It’s nice that you can put it on multiple devices too.

    I think PiHole is good too but only works at home. I also use Firefox with UBlock so I have that whitelisted in AdGuard.
