If I use mullvads private DNS with adblock function, in my android, I still get ads in all apps I tried.

If I use another private DNS-provider with same function it blocks ads in those same ads, so it's not the private DNS function in the phone that is broken.

Is it same for everyone or just me?

Is it that the filter isn't updated very often? I see the page regarding the mullvad private DNS was updated just a month ago, so it's not like the service has been created and forgotten.

PS. Youtube app is NOT one of the tested apps. Mentioning since YT always comes up in adblock related threads and is a whole different beast when it comes to adblock on android, and irrelevant in this case. None of the tested apps are a product of google.

edit: Had to edit out the actual DNS addresses to not be auto removed by reddit, but it's the one that starts with adblock and the one that starts with base that I've tried. Both should supposedly block ads.
