Adblocker not blocked by qustodia

[Krayna]

I am looking for an adblocker app for android which is not automatically blocked by qustodia. Would anyone be able to advise me?

It all depends upon the method that an ad-blocker uses as to whether or not any given site can tell you are using an ad-blocker or if the site will work at all.

You may need (probably) an ad-blocker that allows you to pick and choose what apps/sites are blocked and then unblock Qustodia.

You did not say if you are using a browser or an app to access Qustodia, so the possibilities are a multitude.

If I knew how you were getting onto the site, it may narrow it down somewhat.

Does the paid version allow use without ads?

Also, if it (the Qustodia app) will work without internet connection, then you could use a firewall to block that access, and then clear the cache for the Qustodia app.
Ads are stored in the cache, and without internet they cannot reappear.

You probably cannot use both an adblocking app and the Qustodio app, it's a matter where you need to pick one or the other. The content filtering aspect that both utilities will rely upon as a background service on your mobile device creates a conflict since the two processes are attempting to use the same system resources.

For a more long, drawn out reason why you won't be able to have both apps running at the same time, it all boils down to a basic security aspect that's a part of every Android phone/tablet. With an Android device, all the user accounts are restricted with limited permission levels. That's a default. When we're initially setting up our Android devices, there's no option to set up a User account with root privileges. All our user accounts are protected and limited. It's not a like installing Windows where you can set up Administrator and User accounts, with Android it's predetermined and curated. So when you installed that Qustodio app, it only has user-level permissions on your device itself. You can manage your child's Qustodio service remotely but that's a different situation, on both devices the app does not have root-level permissions to the devices they're installed. That directly relates to the conflict issue between an ad-blocker app and the Qustodio app. Since both apps will be running with only user-level permissions, neither has access to the system-level networking processes that Android uses for online access. So with non-root apps that do any kind of function like content filtering, they have to rely on a stop-gap workaround, a local VPN service. Note this isn't a VPN service that you sign up with and uses remote online servers, this is just a single-purpose, local VPN service that runs solely within your mobile device -- the VPN is used to do the actual content filtering. Data packets get redirected and loop back through the VPN. The other issue is only one VPN service can run on an Android device, so that's why there's a conflict.
