Any way I can add an Ad block to the phone or do I have to wait for root and custom roms?
Google AdGuard. I heard it has some functionality w/o root.

A lot of people in the other S7 threads are suggesting an app called Block This! Might be worth checking it out. I haven't tried it yet, just seen others mentioning it in the threads.

This App seems suspicious, the version on App store apparently is outdated and asks us to download the newer version from their website. The newer one wants to setup a VPN, not really sure if it's legit !

Its not suspicious at all. Its just been removed from PlayStore doesn't mean violating Google rule. I've been using it Since v2.0 as Developer seems to legit and whatever he describes you can cross check on Google+ Or Facebook.
Lastly, AdGuard does it job well, but ideal battery drain would be a huge issue for some. Whereas this one doesn't have battery drain issue, yet blocks the ads quicker. Check for requirements on PlayStore or while installing, I'm sure, you'll change your opinion.
Also there's one more AdBlocker with ROOT! named AdClear, search on XDA.

Found this on dev's website, I think I'll wait for root access.
"The only problem with this approach is, that for Android there are strict rules about who and how DNS can be changed. Normally changing the DNS directly needs ROOT access (i.e. your android device to be rooted). In order to work around this issue, "Block This" for Android creates, what we call a local VPN (Virtual Private Network) and all of your apps/browser traffic is routed through this VPN. This VPN is carefully configured to only modify the DNS settings of your network, while preserving your internet speed and not sending out any traffic to external VPN servers. "
I use AdGuard and it works great. You have to purchase it but I have been using it for awhile now and it's worth it.
Yeah adguard works well no root just purchase it to get ads blocked through out

It's the way most/all ad blockers work if you don't have root. VPN let you change the way the network works in ways you can't without it.
Not saying I like it, I use a VPN for security when on untrusted WiFi, and for watching Netflix while abroad.

Using " Block This. Adguard is subscription based, I still have a few months left.
I don't know if Block This will stay free forever though. Both work fine.
I do notice a reduction in wifi throughput on internet speed tests with Adguard. We have a 10Gbps link here that's limited to around 5-600Mbps on wifi. On my Note 5 with Adguard on I typically see 200Mbps max. With it off it will hit 500+.
Block This does not have this effect as far as I can see.
Aside from that (which most people probably won't see LOL) they are pretty much the same.
My biggest gripe is you cannot get rid of that stupid key icon. But that is an Android thing not a fault of either app.
Got an email today regarding Adguard. They are/will be supporting https. This means youtube ads in app will now be blocked! That's great news indeed!
I'm using the Samsung browser with ad block plus for Samsung browser. If I want a faster browser and save data I use opera with data savings.

Before I open any app I open manifests.xml and change permissions. lol
Anything else We can do?
IMO, If you get anything like this. You deserve it! Almost just like on a PC. If your not smart enough to check your stuff before you put it on your phone, then stick to buying your apps. Don't open and launch things from emails you don't know about. Your not smart enough to know what sites are bad and how to control what your clicking through. By all means hurry and pirate an anti... app too please. Then I can charge you to fix it. XXX only make me money.
Did I miss anything? lol

Oh yeah I forgot. LBE security guard. Amazing root permissions app. It allows you to revoke certain apps permissions. Like if you don't want angry birds access to your data and wifi you can do that. An added plus is with that you dont get any more stupid adds.

I use a combo of several apps
Superuser (with PIN) for SU rights
AdFree - to block most ads
Droid Wall - to totally block data & WiFI on an app by app basis
LBE Privacy Guard - to remove specific permission from apps that require data access
One of the easiest thing to do, is only get apps from trusted sources, which will drastically cut down on risks
Finally, think twice about installing an app with a low number of downloads.

I agree 100% with this. The UI is super simple, and you can see how much data each app is using. It opened my eyes the first few times I used it as there were apps using data that had no real reason to. It didn't make sense to me.
As UBER mentioned, you can also disable GPS for apps like Angry Birds Space. I love how when you install a new app, a notification shows up up top reminding you to set permissions for that app.
Very basic, easy to use, and most importantly, powerful.

Most likely, any Russian or Chinese market for cracked apps, as most of the infected apps come from these two regions.
Also, any hacker board for cracked apps has a higher than average chance of having an infected app

I'm wanting to use a VPN to mask my browsing when in public/using free wi-fi/at work/etc. I'm fine with setting it up on my home PC (I was originally going to use Hamachi/Privoxy but I don't think Hamachi is supported on Android) or even paying a small fee but I'm not going to be torrenting or accessing any secure information so I don't care about VPN logging/DMCA issues/etc.
I saw Android has a built-in VPN client. Is that any good? I also noticed "Rooted AnyConnect" (yes I'm rooted, running AOSP+ 4.2.1) on the Play Store. What about that?
Thanks in advance!

For what you want to accomplish, you should consider purchasing a subscription to a personal VPN provider such as Witopia or PureVPN. Android's built-in VPN functionality will directly support most protocols such as PPTP and L2TP/IPsec.

Anything that is properly secure will not get you above a few mb/s in speed, unless you want to pay huge amounts per month. If you want to be secure then that is the price you must pay. If you want better speed then you shouldnt even bother wasting your money on services that still let anyone track you with the smallest amount of effort put towards the matter. here is a list of the only worthwhile providers there are:
BTGuard
Torguard <- the best in my experience
IVPN
Private Internet Access
PrivatVPN
Proxy.sh
Privacy.io
VikingVPN
TorrentPrivacy
Anonine
AirVPN
PRQ
Boxpn
EarthVPN

somehow many of these VPN are not working ie. NORD.
As far as VPN choice is concerned. First you have to decide. whether you want a better experience or you just want a cheap one.
I personally go for better experience approach. because slow speed and advertisement is way too troublesome.
For vpn suggestion you can go and visit

NordVPN works fine for me, your link however does not. VPN is about security an anonymity, the "experience" as you say can have a little bit to do with speed, but also ease of use and if you are even secure at all. A proper VPN is one that does not keep records of any kind on you, most VPN services do. This means that no matter how much you are paying, and no matter how fast of speeds you get through the VPN, you are doing nothing but paying money to someone pointlessly. The first thing to decide about using a VPN is: "Do I want to be secure and anonymous online", the second question is: "how much speed am I willing to pay for". Those are the only two questions of any relevance when dealing with a VPN. DO yourself a favor and actually research whatever company you are considering, because if they keep logs on you or are in a country that is required to comply with any little request from your government then that company is completely pointless to use.

Thank you for pointing out.
Nordpvn is working now. It actually emailed and asked about the problem, and they said that they were migrating their server. ie on Thursday from 11 am to 1 pm (+5 GMT) that is when i tried connecting to their website. Yes, i am concerned about the log issues, because you are absolutely right that there is no point if your privacy is compromised for whatsoever reason. But here is the thing we are not sure if they actually dont maintain any user log. That is another story.
I was thinking to go for PureVPN. I did some research, read blogs and I think it will cater my needs for what I am willing to pay for.

You need to change your VPN service provider, I can suggest you my VPN service https://www.iwasel.net/en/trysmoketunnelfree/, I have been using it for more than 2 years without any problems.
Hey all.. this may not be a 6P specific question but what is everyone using for VPN these days? I'm looking for a free, no registration needed, no logging, one touch, fast VPN, that is trustworthy. Anyone have any suggestions?
You're not going to find that for free. Even some paid vpns still log. They're cheap, though. The best bet you can get for free is try tunnelbear or zenmate or hola, the last two being chrome extensions.
I recommend going to cryptostorm.is they are cheap, and the most secure VPN with best tech, support crypto currencies, anonymous accounts done via tokens, no logs, and they have warrant canary incase they get seized.
Hope this helps, cheers.

That sounds pretty intense. I wasn't actually looking for something that crazy.. mainly just something to add another layer of security on given the crap I've read about privacy lately. Is all that really needed or is one of the free options on the play store "good enough" for just app usage and web browsing? I don't do anything like torrents, etc.

Sorry for being over the top. If you aren't doing anything demanding (Netflix streaming, etc) and just want it for simple browser and app usage, then yeah, a free vpn will suffice. Try hola from the Google play store. It will do exactly what you need. You could always use Tor, download "Orbot" and "Orfox", which is free, and privades great privacy, but is pretty slow.

Don't be sorry! I'm sure someone will find that info useful. I just tried hola and I'm not really a fan of it. Weird UI and not much explanation of the settings and what they are doing. I seem to recall there was a Dev on here that created a simple one touch VPN app but I can't find it anywhere. All I remember was that it was a red icon with the VPN key. Not sure if that was "good" or if the dev stopped development or changed it up. I see a lot of these VPN apps are based in China which I'm not so trusting of. Honestly been meaning to do this for a while now but I guess I didn't realize the amount of apps out there.

Best bet maybe just try out any you see in the play store until you find one you like that works and provides those features. Best bet is one that serves ads, if it sounds too good to be true for free, it means you're probably being datamined, at least if they serve ads you know they are getting some revenue, making their free claim understandable. I recommended hola because I've seen a friend use it, personally have a paid VPN. The one true free way to be anonymous is Tor and that's free, but it's slow. Good luck on the hunt.

Adguard. Been using it since the Note 4. Have a lifetime license. They have sales every now and then where it costs about 2 years' annual fees (or less). Totally worth it. App is constantly updated and safe to use.

Something that i notice. I get no videoads in my youtube app. Even when the video is 1 hour long and u can see the yellow lines when the ads will pop up. It doesnt. I do get advertisement banner in the aps itself but no video ads whatsoever. Anyone can confirm this?
When i turn it off i start getting video ads again.

The free version is only a samsung browser extention ad blocker. The full version is an app itself to block all ads in apps/games.
Not sure about the bad review but i have had just great experience with it. Used it on my 8+, note8, gs9 + and note 9. Block everything, i have tried adhell, blockada, adguard, nds66, block this and a few other this has been the best for me love the UI.
This is just personal opinion and dont reommend anyone to pay more than $5 for it since theres other similiar options for free.
Will it slow down you wifi or lte speed, down and up.

No is not using vpn, ur speed will be the same with or without it, unlike other option like blokada, adguard, nds666 etc. Only uses samsung built in knox security to block ads.
I know adhell 3 works great is another option but a little more complicated since u need a key from samsung.
Sounds good , but the price OMG.
Couldn't one just use disconnect browser extension and also YouTube Vanced , problem solved?

Most free apps are full of ads. This solve the issue of not getting ads. Most free apps dont even give u the option to purchase a adfree version so u are stuck with ads forever.

True. Very true , also some people myself included can't be bothered with the adhell route.

Hey mate, can you tell me how you add those to adhell please?
I've tried saving both to a text file and pointing adshell to them in the format it shows, so
file:///mmt/sdcard/Dowmload/Adshell/YouTube Ad Block 1
Yet when I toggle domain rules it just removes them.

Just add a provider (see screenshot), put the https URL in, check it, do it for both URLs, and then disable/enable domains rules to add the new hosts.

Hey, where is good place to start to get this all set up properly? I'm currently using Adguard but want to move to this.
I googled it but it seems alot of the information is dated.

So simple haha, I never thought to just use the URL of the files and I tried to add them from local storage instead. Thanks a lot mate, worked perfectly.

Any tutorial like this one will do: https://www.androidsage.com/2018/07/28/how-to-install-latest-adhell-3-1-1-with-new-standard-knox-license-key-adblock-samsung/
If you don't want to bother with compiling (like me) you can install a prebuilt version here (you'll have to trust the guy who did this though): https://www.mediafire.com/folder/sb37c6gmhqgbn/AdHell_3
And the fix for Chrome: you need to add a firewall rule under Domains/Blacklist/Add firewall rule and put "com.android.chrome|*|53"
then reactivate domain rules and firewall rules on the adhell3 home menu.
Haha I added hosts from AdAway too... I'm at 73050 unique hosts now XD I guess that's enough now I hope it'll not eat too much CPU/battery though, or I'll disable some of them.
