DoH blocker for IOS: Mullvad or Aha DNS Blitz
DoH blocker for IOS: Mullvad or Aha DNS Blitz
So I prefer to use a DNS blocker (DoH) on my IOS devices to block ads, malware, and trackers. For the longest time I’ve been using Aha DNS Blitz because it allows you to choose the exact filter lists you want to enable. Recently I saw Mullvad now has their own DoH service as well and I’m trying it out now. It’s not as customizable as you can only choose a combination of the general categories (ads, malware, tracking, social, gambling, etc.). On the other hand, Mullvad runs everything on RAM now and they are very transparent of their methods and have a proven track record.
I’d like to get the community’s opinion on which of the two you prefer and why.
Not an answer, but a clarification. You seem to be messing up two things. DoH is basically encrypted DNS, i.e. no one other than your DNS provider can see what domains you ask for. It's orthogonal to ad blocking; there are various service that provide one, or another, or both.
Yup I understand that. I’m primarily asking what the community thinks is a better DNS blocker between Aha Blitz and Mullvad’s, both of which provide DNS blocking over https.
Mullvad hands down. No log policy. For ad blocking, you can use their various domains for different levels of blocking.
An in-browser content blocker is better at blocking than domain-based blocking techniques, but both are good.

you can customize the filter list.
NextDNS and Adguard free tier has limitations such as number of devices, max num of request 300k.
If you have chatty clients such as Xiaomi phone, mikrotik router, web pages of their dashboard, 300k is not simply enough.
