I’m an idiot about this stuff, and I’m sure others are as well. Lemmings to the rescue?

    I would recommend, at a minimum, two things:

    1. NextDNS
    2. AdGuard for iOS

    Once you have those set up and working, if you’re feeling adventurous, try:

    1. StopTheMadness for iOS (costs $10)

    Just NextDNS will block a lot of stuff, as long as you’re not on a VPN (Using a VPN will switch to the VPN’s DNS servers). AdGuard takes a little more work to set up, since you have to enable content blockers, but it’s not too hard as long as you carefully read and follow the instructions in the app. The 3rd thing is a lot more involved, but it adds a last little bit of protection in the browser.

    Edit: somebody suggested pi-hole, which is fine, but it’s redundant with NextDNS and pi-hole would only work while you were on your home wifi.
