New TDUK App to provide System-Wide Ad blocking

Even if your usage of this app is infrequent, when it does help it’s effective and for $2 lifetime … can you say … No Brainer

I totally agree. I will definately be getting it when the final app is released.

Just for the amount of time I get bombarded with ads on Rumble now, I’ll be getting for sure.

I tested out 3 FAST apps (Pluto, Plex, and Roku, and they all showed commercials.

However, I also tested TheTVApp and it played all the channels that used to be blocked, i.e. ESPN, ESPN2, etc… Now I am not certain if those channels have been unblocked since the last time I accessed that streaming site.

I haven’t been able to determine if this app helps in reducing buffering. I normally don’t get much buffer issues in the first place, but I will test and post more definitive observations.

I am now able to get ESPN on thetvapp without the TDUK app or NordVPN.

JPM69, yes it blocks the ads in RBTV77, tried it today, watched a lot of sports I normally would not just to test it. Never saw that first nasty ad again.

Sounds like a sweet Christmas present to me! Sign me up!

Powerfader · 2024-09-08T22:29:51.270Z

Yep, they seem to block those channels when they are airing something special. I forget what was going on a few months ago for the reason they blocked those channels.

That’s a nice site to have as your backup to your backups viewing. lol

JPM69 · 2024-09-08T22:56:46.983Z

Yeah i dont know why either but they kept them blocked for a while. I remember checking not that long ago and they were still blocked. Maybe a few weeks ago.

After you mentioned it I decided to try again and they were back.

But for how long?

Thankfully there are many options.

Might not wana call it an ad blocker as google loves ads…jus’ sayin’

its a very good point and its exactly why I didn’t call the app “TDUK Ad blocker” or even mention the word AD.

I will be marketed to Google Play as an app that can help you change your DNS servers

Throttlejockey · 2024-09-09T04:19:33.242Z

Just check the TV app and now ESPN and those blocked channels now work without a VPN or ad blocker

TechDoctorUK · 2024-09-09T10:05:26.611Z

That proves they were using DNS to block those channels. Using the encrypted DNS means they can’t monitor what urls/addresses you want to connect to and therefore those previous blocks would be removed.

Appreciate the feedback

Can the DNS app work with Surfshark running? I tried a different DNS app in past but then Surfshark didn’t work correctly? If so please send me a copy to test.

TXRon · 2024-09-09T13:45:40.094Z

Yes as long as its not run as a vpn service. Many ad-blockers run as a vpn service while actually not being a vpn how ever this one as stated does not.

Rocker69 · 2024-09-09T14:03:26.871Z

Im in!! Awesome!

Powerfader · 2024-09-09T14:28:52.296Z

It seems to work on my end with SS active.

AMD237 · 2024-09-09T20:49:55.566Z

I ran with and without VPN, with and without the built-in VPN ad-blocker. It seemed to work fine all ways. I can’t tell which (or both) was blocking the ads each time, but it was effective.

I live in Texas, one of 7 states that require registration with the State to visit a porn site on the web. Thus, porn sites left /blockTexas. I tested this app using Silk Browser, Nvidia Shield and Nord VPN set to Dallas. This app allowed access which I then quickly exited. SUCCESS !!!

Apparently, Apps that have Adult sections are not affected by this law.

Fortunately it does not appear Texas teens know about VPNs or apps with Adult sections and would Never Ever click yes on the box that asks if you are 18 years old!
