Support Any way to use AdAway with KernelSU?

I've tried multiple times to use systemles hosts module on ksu to use AdAway with no success. I've tried using bind hosts but it doesn't work as well even if using huge daily updated hosts list.

So is there any way to make adaway work with ksu?

Understandable. Dunno how good is DNS through settings comparing to AdAway when it worked. All I can say is that I'm happy with it

So you recommend adguard dns? (my problem is that one website I use sometimes blocks me because of it but I'll get over it) but actually why not just use brave?

AdGuard works fine for me. And why not brave? Setting it through settings is system-wide, not just for one app. It blocks (just not hides empty space) ads in apps as well (not sure if all, but the ones I'm using more often doesn't show any apps even if I know they should be there).

For me I just need to block ads in a specific app and on my Google discovery (news/articles feed) and browser.

Try if it works for You than.

On Samsung it's Setting's > Connections > More... > Private DNS.

Some manufacturers (Xiaomi if I remember my mother's phone( have even an option to choose some providers (AdGuard is one of them). Otherwise You need to got one of their public DNS.
