I did this for the longest time until I realised that because AdGuard works best as a virtual VPN, it is unable to run alongside an actual VPN. Luckily my VPN (and many others) support ad blocking too.
That’s not what I’m talking about. I meant to say that AdGuard on mobile (Android) runs by pretending to be a VPN in order to intercept all connections and filter the ads out of them. This works great to remove ads in apps, etc.
However, because it hooks into the VPN interface you can’t then run another VPN (for example Proton VPN) because Android only allows one VPN to run at any time.
Adguard with DNS + local blocking is the way.

Adguard VPN and Adguard (adblocker) can work simultaneously 😀😀😀
The only caveat is that Adguard VPN only works with their servers, so you can’t, for example, VPN to your home or work network.
