How is this specific Ad Blocker different?

Ads, malware, viruses, tracking cookies, key loggers, phishing, porn, and spam occupy more than eighty percent of the content associated with the internet. Nowadays loading of WebPages is becoming much slower than it was five years ago.

The Developer of this App

Good content on the web is getting buried for the purpose of making a reduction in one’s money by selling personal data, hacking credit cards, and cause of harassment due to ads present everywhere. Naturally, to put an end to this crisis the development of an app like Block This was necessary.

The main credit for the development of Block This goes to none other than Sava Georgiev. He is a renowned developer and a proficient security researcher who resides in Munich, Germany. He decided to get rid of all sorts of junk present on the internet and started developing the app in 2015 from the month of June so that people can freely use the internet at least on their mobile phones.

His goal was an ambitious one. He had to get out of the box concerned with traditional blockers of ads relating to Android and proceed one step ahead. So, he catches hold of the idea of incorporating an old approach (almost forgotten) for blocking requests on the internet. This was none but blocking by Domain Name Server, the abbreviation of which is DNS.

The initial tests which he performed after setting up an exceedingly scalable DNS Server, were perfect. The blacklist worked accordingly. Compared to the standard Android ad blockers (who use host files) the consumption of battery was much lower.

What grasped his attention and left him surprised, was the huge reduction concerned with Data Traffic. Again, another thing, which is worthy of mention, is that the browsing speed associated with numerous websites improved (100%) to a great extent.

Workflow initiated by Block This DNS

Workflow introduced by Block This DNS is an incredible one! Suppose, you start navigating to a specific website with your Android phone, you have to put (enter) the name of the said website for browsing it.

The browser asks for a DNS request concerned with the IP address of that website-related machine. The request concerning the DNS is received by a Block This Domain Name Server. Then, this Block This (DNS) Server searches for the settings concerned with matching, filtering, and security. If the said website is not available in the Blacklist, Block This DNS returns the IP Address.

Again, if it is in the Blacklist, the above DNS Server loop-back the IP address. Your browser, on receiving the IP address, makes a good attempt on rendering the page (webpage) on your screen. If the address received is 127.0.0.1, the browser stops showing an empty screen. If it is not the same address, the browser continues rendering function on a normal basis.

While the rendering is on, the browser makes more requests concerning DNS to Block This DNS with a view of loading images, ads, videos, and various other resources on the webpage. The additional requests are accepted by a server (Block This DNS) and depending on the fact that whether these are included in the blacklist or not, the rendering process starts.

If each and every request are present in the blacklist concerned with Block This DNS Server, your webpage will not only be nicely created but will also be a secured one. It will be devoid of viruses and ads.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

The only problem associated with the above approach is that, regarding Android, there are certain strict rules that should be followed. The rules are regarding how DNS can be altered. Normally, if the DNS demands change, the need for direct access to Root arises.

Your Android phone will need to be Rooted. In order to solve this issue, Block This APK for Android (only) create Virtual Private Network or VPN.
