Hello Dev,

Is there a chance to add more beta slots on iOS?
If there’s another App similar to testflight so more iOS user be able to use.

Thanks in advance!

Hey!

One of the really good Stremio addons is WebstreamrMBG, it’s a spin off from the discontinued Webstremr…
Anyone know a reliable replacement or if another developer working on a new version?

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a quick guide and open up a discussion on how to get completely free, system-wide ad and tracker blocking on iOS without needing to keep a battery-draining VPN active 24/7.

If you want to block ads inside Safari and native iOS apps/games while using an elite, privacy-respecting DNS, this setup pairs DNSecure (an open-source native iOS profile configuration utility) with Mullvad’s Public Encrypted DNS.
Why this combination?

1. Zero Logs: Mullvad runs their public DNS servers entirely in RAM and keeps absolute zero logs or metadata.
2. Native Performance: Unlike apps that run a local loopback "fake VPN" to filter traffic (which drains battery), DNSecure leverages Apple’s native encrypted DNS framework. Once configured, iOS handles it natively.
3. App-Wide Blocking: It doesn't just block ads in Safari; it blocks tracking and commercial banners inside third-party apps and mobile games.

How to Set It Up

Step 1: Decide on your filtering level
Mullvad provides specific endpoints depending on how aggressive you want the filtering to be. Choose one of these DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) URLs:
• Ads Only:
IP: 194.242.2.3
URL: https://adblock.dns.mullvad.net/dns-query

• Extended (Ads + Trackers + Malware):
IP: 194.242.2.4
URL: https://extended.dns.mullvad.net/dns-query

Step 2: Configure DNSecure

1. Download DNSecure from the App Store.
   https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dnsecure/id1533413232
2. Open the app and select Custom (or tap the + icon).
3. Set the Protocol to DNS-over-HTTPS.
4. Paste your chosen Mullvad URL from Step 1 into the Server URL field.
5. Tap Save and select your new profile.
   Step 3: Activate in iOS Settings
6. Open your iPhone's native Settings app.
7. Go to General > VPN & Device Management > DNS.
8. Change the checkmark from "Automatic" to DNSecure.

Critical Limitations to Know
• First-Party Ads: This will not block ads inside YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook. Because those platforms serve ads from the exact same domains as their actual content, DNS filtering cannot separate them.

• Carrier Blocks: Some strict mobile carriers block non-standard DNS endpoints. If you apply the profile and your cellular data completely stops working, it means your carrier is blocking Mullvad’s IP blocks. 

Alternative Note: If Mullvad fails due to a carrier block, ADguard is an incredibly reliable fallback that uses heavily whitelisted infrastructure. And it’s already available in DNSecure predefined list.

**I would suggest you to do some research on the best private DNS filtering based on your region.

Curious to hear if anyone else is running this setup, or if you've run into any specific carrier blocks with Mullvad's endpoints on mobile data!
