What’s New Version 5.3

- added new support contact options - fixes for iOS 13 and iOS 14

Description

• #1 ad blocking solution for iOS, available since 2012 • Over 750 000 app downloads worldwide • No in-app purchases, no subscription. Simple one-time payment • Top Utility ranked in all App Stores around the world • Over 1000+ carefully crafted filters • Easy setup in under 1 minute with detailed tutorial • Now with built-in Safari Content Blocker for better web ad protection Weblock allows you to control how your device fetches online content. Easily manage PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) script and route different connections through different proxy servers. Weblock can make your device download ads (banners and popups), stats and user tracking, scripts or images through a proxy server you pick. It also allows you to use a different proxy for specific websites, like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, social widgets from websites. You can even define your own content filters. With Weblock you can control proxy for basically any network resource! This way you can choose not to reveal your real IP to different services, limit advanced ad targeting and protect your privacy. IMPORTANT NOTICE: You're responsible for selecting a proxy server that allows you to download content you wish to download. We DO NOT provide a proxy service. Using a bad proxy server (like 127.0.0.1:8021) might result in some resources being blocked. You can control your proxy settings selectively with Weblock. Contact our support if you need help choosing right proxy server or setting up Weblock on your device. Here are some situations in which Weblock might come in handy: • Fetch ads through a proxy server you choose. Protect your privacy and prevent ad servers from knowing your real IP address and tracking you. • Disable majority of ads on websites you visit on your iOS device! Weblock supports all major web browsers: Safari, Chrome, Mercury and others (browsers redirecting web traffic through third-party servers like Puffin Browser or Opera Mini are not be supported). • Easily remove all native Facebook widgets and plugins (Like buttons, comments, etc.) on sites you visit - simply disable Facebook plugins in Weblock! Do the same for Twitter, Google+ and other social media. • Stop annoying Tapatalk popups, nagging you to download forum browsing app on every visit. • Take control of someone else's device - you can preconfigure any iOS device to control it with your Weblock app. Block or redirect any content, anytime, directly from your own device. • Your predefined filters and custom rules can be synced between all your iOS devices using iCloud. • If you wish to block something else, you can create your own rules and filters. You can block any URL (with regular expressions), domain or IP address. Don't know how? Let us know - we're here for you. • You can also use Weblock's redirect feature to emulate '/etc/hosts' entries for HTTP and HTTPS traffic. This might be useful for web and app developers to pin domains to different IP addresses. ••• IMPORTANT! ••• Need help setting up Weblock? Contact our support directly through the app.

••• Weblock v3.0 The new Weblock is here - rewritten from the scratch, with brand new design and features. • We are changing the way in which the filters are organised. You can now block specific AdServers and allow others. It's also possible to block social media widgets while still allowing general connectivity (ex. block only facebook like buttons and comments). We will keep working to extend the list to give you more control over what gets blocked. More filters coming soon! • It's now possible to define proxy redirects. This allows you to direct specific URL, domain or IP to specific proxy address. This feature can be used by more advanced users as an equivalent of /etc/hosts in some cases, like redirecting web traffic to test environments or sniffing/spoofing web connections from your mobile apps. • You can now easily enable/disable sync of your configuration across multiple devices via iCloud. • You can now set manually proxy address for the outgoing traffic (in case you access the Internet through proxy). • New, better graphics and iOS7 design. If you like Weblock, please spare a minute to write a review. It's the reviews that keep us going :)
