The Problem

Apple device owners often buy ad blockers or VPN services but cannot activate the required browser extensions, DNS settings, filters, and permissions correctly. Even successful installations can interfere with email, rewarded ads, specific websites, or other apps, while weak customer support leaves buyers unable to diagnose failures or cancel unsuitable subscriptions.

Potential Solution

Offer a fixed-price setup appointment that audits each device, installs an appropriate protection configuration, enables the necessary settings, tests browsers and important apps, and records any required exceptions. Delivery can be remote through a guided video call or performed in person for less technical customers, with a short follow-up period for troubleshooting and subscription cancellation assistance.

Why Now?

More everyday activity occurs inside ad-supported mobile apps, while Apple configuration changes and overlapping privacy tools make reliable setup difficult for nontechnical users. The signals show that correct configuration can produce strong results, but setup quality and compatibility testing determine whether customers receive those results.

Ad Remover - Ad Blocker

No going back after this app! As a long-time user of ad-blocking software on my PC, I’ve become so used to browsing without annoying pop-ups or minute-long ads in the middle of YouTube videos. Using the internet ad-free was something that was lacking in my mobile experience until I downloaded Ad Remover. It removes all ads from any website you add to the block list, which has turned out to be a lifesaver for visiting those sites that cause a million windows to

AdBlock for Safari + VPN

Does not work on iPhone I use this for my desktop, and it works perfect. But it does not work on my iPhone. Going to YouTube, commercials play. I’ve checked Settings. redownloaded. Rebooted phone. No change. Commercials. I ended up delegating the app. UPDATE 5-27-23. Based on developers response to my comment, I redownloaded Ad Blocker, and have fond that indeed it does block ads from all other sites I’ve visited using my iPhone. It’s a shame Apple has decide
