Why use Connectify Hotspot as a universal ad blocker
Works on every device
iPhone, Android, tablets, smart TVs, and consoles are all covered the moment they join, with no app or browser extension on any of them.
Blocks in-app ads
Hotspot stops known ad domains before they load, so ads inside apps are blocked as well as ads on web pages.
Faster pages, less data
With ads gone, pages load less, which helps on slow or metered connections. The Protection panel counts how many ads it has blocked.
Block malware sites too
Choose a DNS service that blocks known malware sites, like Cloudflare for Families or Quad9, alongside ad blocking.
Keep ads blocked all day
Hotspot PRO keeps your hotspot, and its ad blocking, running all day with no time limit, for a one-time payment with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Do I need to install anything on my phone?
