About AdAway

AdAway is an open-source ad blocker for Android using the host's file. AdAway is fully open and licensed under GPLv3+. Easily add your own sources of hosts files! Add exceptions to your whitelist, blocklist and rules for redirects! AdAway will not work reliably when on Mobile Networks like 3G. You can deactivate that proxy by going to your selected APN and removing the value in the proxy field. Enable the local Webserver in AdAway’s preferences as a workaround. Add redirection lists to your host's sources to redirect blocked DNS requests to the correct IPs in China. This hosts source contains redirection rules for Google, Facebook, and other. For devices older than Android 8 Oreo, use version 4 of AdAway.
