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!

    You can also create a nextdns account for free and run it through adguard to have more control over what you’re blocking.

    What would the advantage of doing this over just using NextDNS be? Is it that AdGuard does browser blocking too? I have uBO + NextDNS free. Does AdGuard offer anything better?

      In my opinion, adguard is worth in two cases: if you need Firewall+VPN on an unrooted device (every other thing I tried was either Firewall or VPN, no chance of getting them to work at the same time), or if you’re installing it on a family member’s/acquaintance’s device, so that they have an on/off switch if something goes wrong.

      Unless you don’t fit in one of those two cases adguard will do little to nothing for you
