Block Ads and Trackers with PrivadoVPN’s Ad Blocker
PrivadoVPN’s Ad Blocker is part of Control Tower — a powerful suite of privacy tools that enhances your security and improves online performance. This feature removes intrusive ads, pop-ups, and malicious tracking scripts before they reach your device.
Unlike browser extensions, PrivadoVPN’s Ad Blocker works at the network level. That means it filters traffic before it even hits your browser or apps, blocking unwanted ads and trackers across all connected devices.
Why Use PrivadoVPN’s Ad Blocker
1. Cleaner, Faster Browsing
Ad-heavy sites load more slowly and consume more data. PrivadoVPN’s Ad Blocker filters these requests, leading to faster page loads and smoother streaming.
2. Stronger Privacy Protection
Many online ads secretly track your behavior. By blocking trackers at the DNS level, PrivadoVPN helps prevent third parties from building a profile of your activity.
3. Reduced Risk from Malicious Ads
Some ads hide malware or phishing links. Ad Blocker removes those threats before they have a chance to load, keeping your devices safer.
4. Works Across All Apps and Devices
Because it filters through the VPN connection, the Ad Blocker applies to browsers, mobile apps, and even smart TVs connected through PrivadoVPN.
How PrivadoVPN’s Ad Blocker Works
The Ad Blocker uses DNS-based filtering to identify and block requests to advertising and tracking domains. When a website or app tries to load an ad from a known ad server, PrivadoVPN intercepts that request and blocks it at the DNS stage. The ad never reaches your device, saving bandwidth and protecting your privacy.
This method is fast, lightweight, and effective across devices without needing to install additional plugins.
How to Enable the Ad Blocker
Enabling the Ad Blocker is quick and straightforward. Here’s how:
On All Devices (Desktop, Mobile, Smart TV, or Router)
- Open the PrivadoVPN app and sign in.
- Go to the Control Tower section in the main interface.
- Under the Threats section, click View All.
- Find Ads in the list and toggle it ON.
- Connect to a VPN server — ads and trackers will now be blocked across all traffic.
