On demand means that iOS starts up a VPN extension when network is accessible.
VPN extension is a separate process, it is independent from the app.

@I_ndeed
Nope, unfortunately, YT ads are almost impossible to block.
Also sorry for the late reply, I've missed your post

We'll test it:

I'll return with testing result.

Youtube - no.
Chrome - yes. Please note, that it is not as good as Safari content blocker though.
Nope. Even on Android with far more capabilities we are struggling with YT.
I'm rather sure that is by design. Google are first and foremost an advertising company, so it follows that they're going to do whatever they can to prohibit the blocking of advertisements.
Sometime back there was a news that Google figured out a way to disguise their code for ads as if it was a genuine content making it difficult to block..even Facebook did that with Newsfeed, but looks like FB has scaled back or Adguard extension on PC has improved.
Just installed AdGuard for Safari and it blocks all the ads and removes the whitespace. Ghostery did not remove the blank spaces.
I just bought AdGuard Pro for iOS and will give it a try. I have tried Crystal, Wipr, and a few others. I have been running AdGuard regular and have not had an issue other than pages have whitespace and I need to reload. Hopefully pro is better. We shall see.
[doublepost=1478190564][/doublepost]Tested the white space issue - still present. I am in tweetbot, tap an article link and it loads up fine. It blocks the ad but there is a huge blank space. I have to refresh the page to clear it out. Rather annoying. Any way to fix that?

We've extended all our products (PC, Mac, Android) with new filtering rules types in order to fight this.

From your description it looks like a known WebKit issue:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162057
I guess if we want this issue to be resolved faster, we should let them know that we're annoyed by it.
So, if you have some time, please comment on that issue in webkit bug tracker
I tried both Adguard Pro and Disconnect Privacy Pro and I can't say one is better than the other, both apps do a great job.
I am sticking with Disconnect for now because it shows which and how many trackers it has blocked.
What I still would like to see is a blocker/firewall app where you can deny app's access to the internet. Haven't seen an app yet that offers this.
Is it not possible with iOS?

Adguard Pro provides "Family protection" DNS:

[doublepost=1478726366][/doublepost]
We do show it as well
Named "Requests log". We don't save and show the beautiful stats thoughYeah, i did a quick research and it seems that we can do it using the same VPN API.
Planned on future AG versions.
That is great! I think the non-root firewalls on Android do it this way as well. Looking forward to a future version.
Yep, they do, Adguard for Android already provides FW functionality.
However, in iOS it will be somewhat limited comparing with Android.

When you get Adguard Pro (iOS) down in size, ill consider you again. In the meantime Disconnect Pro is absolutely fantastic.
Looks like Adblock Fast got another update today. Strangely the update release notes mention that it's not only supporting 64-bit devices...except that these kinds of content blockers that were introduced since iOS 9 days were always only for 64-bit devices.
Sorry, I meant for the iPhone app. Was thinking more of a filter like the Annoyances or Social media ones. Also, why is the app still so big in size?
Both Annoyances and Social filters are heavily relying on cosmetic filtering rules, which cannot be used on DNS-level.
What for the size, we have not yet removed tutorial videos from the app distributive.
I remember you stating that your team was looking into moving the tutorials from the app to your website. That should cut down the size of the app considerably. Thank you.
Yeah, that's what we will do, planned on v1.2:
