Works on Rogers.
Adding the proxy and port to the existing APN stuck.

Ad blocking is not going to work if u have Bandwidth management enabled.
I got mine to work with ad blocker plus or hosts file .no proxy crap needed.
Open Chrome
Touch Chrome menu > Settings > (Advanced) Bandwidth management.
Touch Reduce data usage and slide the switch ON or OFF.

Try to set a different filter list in the Adblock options. Maybe there is an additional list for your country.
doesn't work on my Sony Z1 
I got a message “waiting for traffic on port 2020”.
What can be done?

Helo.
I have an ATT LG G2 and I came across this thread. I know it's for the S5, but blocking ads is software-related, so I ask.
I use an app from yahoo, called Yahoo Fantasy sports. In that app, there is a banner of ads that sits smack up top (see screenshot).
I have installed the Min Min guard xposed module, and I see in my hosts file that I have a bunch of hosts with 127.0.0.1.
I added the proxy to my new APN, but I did not install adblock as in the OP since my hosts file appears to be populated correctly.
At present I cannot connect using mobile data to the internet. In Chrome, I am told "unable to connect to the proxy server", and no other apps connect to their servers. I switched back to the original APN, and data works fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions? There are plenty of threads stating that it did work.

108I didn't see this readily available and with many people not wanting to root and trip their Knox counter, I thought I'd show you how to get adblocking without root. This will work on both wifi and mobile data.
--First step would be to install Adblock Plus APK. I got mine from: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
--After installing, run the app once and activate filtering. It should now be blocking all ads on wifi only. To enable adblock on mobile data you need to add a proxy to your APN.
--Go to system settings>network connections>more networks>mobile networks>access point names. What you need to do now is go to you default APN and copy down all the settings. We only do this because you cannot edit the original APN it seems. Now create a new APN and enter in the copied settings. The only additional settings you add to add to the new APN is:
---Proxy: localhost
---Port: 2020
Make sure you set the new APN you created as active and adblocking should be working! I have done this on my T-mobile S5. Hopefully some of you will find this useful.2
Yea, I couldnt modify the APN on my S5 either. I just made a new one and copied over the settings.2Hi guys,
Sometime Adblock Plus crash... quite annoying.
I've decided to root mostly for AdAway ...2For those of you on Verizon, try Adguard - http://adguard.com/en/welcome.html. I just tried it on my Galaxy S6 on Verizon and it works! You do have to pay for the premium version but I took a chance and it works great!1
