Using sync for Android.

And I get that Sync doesn’t control ads. But I wonder if there’s settings to adjust? Because this is super creepy.

    I’m using sync and see ads despite having recently setup pihole with its default blocking list. If you’re also using pihole, mind sharing which block lists you use?

      Is your phone using your pi-hole for DNS? Or is it using Android/WiFi configured to use custom DNS e.g. 9.9.9.9, 1.1.1.1, etc.?

      DuckDuckGo’s Android app’s VPN based ad blocker works to block it’s ads, at least for me. I don’t have a link to their host file though.

      Check your Pi-Hole logs to see if your phone shows up, and if so, open Sync and see what pops up in your logs.
