Hi everybody,

Would appreciate a hint to solve above problem which came back for an unknown reason. As an example i enclose 2 screenshots of 'watismijnipadres.nl'.

IMG 2361
IMG 2367

To start with, everything which can be green in eBlocker's dashboard is green.

IMG 2362
IMG 2363

eBlocker acts as DNS

IMG 2364
IMG 2365

and is in Automatic mode

IMG 2368

 

All Pattern Blockers provided by the system are in use and IPv6 has been disabled in my FRITZ!Box 7590

IMG 2366

Have been searching for a solution many times and been looking without seeing 😉

A hint is welcome!

Regards, Rob

PS

I don't have that problem on my

iPhone SE with iOS 17.1.2

iPad mini with iOS 9.3.5

iMac with macOS 13.6.1

Having the devices side by side, i compared eBlocker/Settings/Devices/rule (DEVICE-USERS-ANONYMIZATION-etc) for each device but found no differences.

All of the devices have the DNS configuration 'Automatic' -> 192.168.178.1 (router) in their respective OS Settings.

So, only my iPad (5e gen.) behaves bad. Beats me 🙃

Rob

PS 2

Maybe these screenshots (iPhone and iPad) can lead to an explanation...

@robf Hi Rob,

have you checked the WLAN config from your iPad? 

There is at least one option you should disable -> "Private WLAN"

All devices are also assigned to the same user?

@calimero 

Thank you for looking into my question CalimerO,

As shown below, i switched off 'Privé wifi adres'

IMG 2372

but unfortunately that didn't help, even after a dump of Safari's cache.

And of course, both on the various devices and in eBlocker's Settings/Parental Controls there is only only one user; me 😏

Regards, Rob

@robf Your very first screenshot shows no eBlocker icon. 🤔 I also wonder about the IP address in this screenshot which is assigned to cdn77. Are you sure VPN or Apple Privat Relay was disabled when you took the screenshot?

Please also disable the red indicated switch: 

IMG 7307

Reboot iPad (hold on/off pressed).

If you still see ads please remove iPad from eBlocker>settings>devices and scan your network anew afterwards. The iPad will reappear. Please check it's configuration.

If this still fails, share iPad's network settings (screenshot).

THX!

Hi Randon,

The remarks you made are meaningful. I'll try the options you gave tomorrow and the day after and report back to you.

Have a pleasant evening/night.

Rob

Good morning Random,

Don' know how to reproduce the exact first screenshot, but i know i was using eBlocker's IP Anonymization at the time. But what's more important, is that you solved the problem.

IMG 2375

Disabling the 'Beperk IP-adres tracking' (the one you encircled in red) did the job.

In short, you made my day and i sure wish you a pleasant one. Thank you.

Rob

@robf My pleasure 👍 That's why we recommend not to combine other anti-tracking tools with eBlocker, btw. 😉

Merry Christmas to you 🎅

THX!

Thank you for your Christmas wishes and i sure hope NOT to spoil your day.

With all the settings, including those you gave me, unchanged (the site https://www.watismijnipadres.nl is shown without any ad at all!), i stumbled upon a nasty piece op software. It's called "TV Guide Plus Listing", available in the App Store.

IMG 2386
IMG 2389
IMG 2388

 As you can see, Google is trying to steal the show again (bottom of the pages)

When trying to use Manual Recording in the HTTPS-page i got "Found 0 new connections".

Hope you understand me correct; i have at least 2 options:

- remove the app from my iPad and look for TV Listings elsewhere ...or

- report the 'problem' to the community to help improve eBlocker's performance

Please advice.

Rob

@robf Just downloaded the app, installed it: NO ADS for me.

Must be some special "Rob's tweak" you've applied to your eBlocker again 😉😬😵‍💫

Please go to Settings>HTTPS>Tab Trusted Websites. In the search field type "goo". Take a screenshot and share.

THX!

I would call it 'Google paranoia'. Followed the instructions you gave.

After i removed 'Highspeedinternet' and 'Street Viewer Pro' from the TRUSTED Apps list, the ads in 'TV Guide Plus Listing' were gone!

Have to work on that paranoia and give eBlocker credit where credit is due 😏

As often before, thanks again Random.

Rob
