How To Block In-App Ads
Guys! Suppose you are playing any game or using any other application while internet connectivity then a lot of ads in footer or header area are shown. This is really annoying and wastes the bandwidth up to some extent.
So, the next question is who to remove those ads. There are basically two methods. The first one is either you buy the app which you never gonna do anyway or you block the ads by blocking proxy which let the apps to connect to the ads network.
Here is demonstrated NoRoot Firewall app for the android platform. There is another app named Droidwall. What makes the difference? NoRoot as the name signifies also works with full functionality on non-routed phones where as Droidwall requires root privileges.
Home Screen is shown firstly when you start the app. This screen has START/STOP control.
Now there are various others tabs which include PENDING ACCESS, APPS, GLOBAL FILTERS, and ACCESS LOGS. Each tab has its own functionality and is/are described below shortly.
PENDING ACCESS
It shows all the apps which ping the network. It will ask you to ALLOW or DENY access. If it is a system app then allow the access else tap deny. But wait, if you deny the whole services of that app will be blocked. You only want to block the ads, not the complete internet access. Now what to do? Tap on that particular app and you will see all the proxies which want internet access. If a particular proxy is pinging the ads then block it by double cross sign else allow it.
APPS
It shows the list of all the apps which are installed on your devices either it is a system app or post installed ones. If you tap on any particular app you will see Add Custom Filter. This option allows you to allow/deny access to the internet for proxies.
GLOBAL FILTERS
This is most amazing. Here if you add a proxy to Pre-filter then that proxy will be blocked for all apps instead you need to add custom filters for all apps for that proxy.
ACCESS LOGS
In this tab, you can monitor all the proxies which one is having access allowed and denied and pending access as well.
Note:
1. The more you spend time with something the more you will know about that thing..
2. Your Wi-Fi hotspot might show a limited connection when this firewall is enabled.
