Does Adblock Plus work over Mobile Data (3G/4G)?

[redhonker]

I am learning how to live without root.

I've installed Adblock Plus and use the following steps to create a new APN

1. Go to "more.." in settings for wireless
2. Go to "mobile networks"
3. Go to "Access Point Names"
4. Go into the current enabled one (AT&T PHONE) and write down all settings
5. Create a new one, copying everything and set up localhost:2020 as proxy
6. Select the new APN

From browser, it appears to block the ads. Quick test on some applications also seem to suggest this is working.

Does anyone know if there is any problem with this scheme?

Thanks

Thanks for the detailed instructions!

I just setup and it also seems to be working for me too.

Did you ever find any issues with your approach?

With Vzw there is no way to create an APN.

Worked great on T-Mobile. Thanks!

Does not seem to work for me, running Sony Xperia E3 D2203 on KitKat 4.4.2

Adguard does! But needs improvement on my D Maxx.
