AdBlock VPN
AdBlock VPN is an additional service that helps protect your privacy and security online.
-
Encrypts your internet traffic.

Hides your real IP address and location.
-
Lets you browse securely on public Wi-Fi.
-
Provides ad blocking and threat protection at the network level.

AdBlock VPN is primarily a privacy and security tool — while it includes some ad blocking, it isn't a substitute for the AdBlock extension or app if you want the most comprehensive ad blocking experience.
