I'm talking full phone and blocking. Not just browser.

Edit: So many options! Thanks guys I'll go through them all and see what one I think will work best for me. I appreciate it.

Probably a good VPN with adblocking features. Iirc, protonvpn and mullvad do this pretty well. I've tried the dns methods like other people mention and on some public networks, it won't work because they force a specific dns so you need to vpn for it to work.
