This has been working for me for several years on my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7, however as of a few days ago it doesn't work all the time. I just received 3 updates from AT&T and on update #2 & #3 I no longer have internet access on my phone 100% of the time despite that it says 4G all the time. Consistently saying unknown host. The internet won't work again until I unselect my Access Point Name and then reselect it.... any one have any ideas how to get this working again? Running v6.0.1 Security Patch Level October 1 2016.

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
