You can also setup AdGuard home and redirect the dns request to another service that way as well. Also can block ads as well super useful and on Apple devices you can download a profile for DoH or DOT encrypted dns.

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Oh that’s a good idea, too. Are you talking about the app?
I have a similar app called AdBlock, but it only allows to redirect based on IP address, which didn’t seem to work well when I tried.
Does the one you’re using allow you to type in the url (ex: teddit.net) instead of the IP address?
Honestly was going to comment did and deleted it too high right now I’ll update this comment once I’m sober I promise. “My smoking habits are medically legal” - ARMMJ
Do you know if PiHole can do something similar?
You can configure PiHole the same with DoH and DoT as well But not sure about the profile “.mobileconfig” for Apple devices AdGuard Home web interface generates it not sure how you would do that with PiHole. But you only need unbound if you want recursive dns that is what I am doing with AdGuard. As for DoH and DoT you can do i don’t remember what was involved I only set it up once and then switched to adguard home. Just preference mainly.
Thanks, will take a look.
I'm not aware, how would you do that for android?
Not sure about android specifically but for Firefox desktop, Privacy redirect is useful: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-redirect/
Any other app recommendations for iOS? Came across this but not sure about privacy.
According to the App Store page, no data is collected by the developer. It all runs on your device only I would assume.
That’s also what I was looking to buy before I realised I already had something which worked.
privacy redirect on chrome based browsers lets you do the same for a number of different services too. Really nice to help enforce staying away from our big tech overlords.
Unfortunately chrome on iOS doesn’t have that function, but it’s good news for other users.
Libredirect does a similar thing on Firefox desktop. I use it to redirect all Reddit links to my locally hosted libreddit and YouTube redirects to random invidious instances so that it’s different every time.
