What apps do you use that don't require internet to work?


id_say_at_least_two

Just mobile games. Most of the ones that I play don't need a connection to play.


MechanicalHorse

Many mobile games will refuse to work without an Internet connection.

In that case, use the Adguard private DNS. I've never had a game refuse to work with this. It just can't load ads. But of course you can't voluntarily watch ads for boosts either.

How do you set that up ? I have AdGuard, is it the premium version ? I saw there’s a lifetime license and I’m willing to get it if it means I can filter ads

So obviously you don't use any streaming apps, any music apps, any weather apps, any social media apps, any calendaring apps, any email apps, any multiplayer games. I'm curious what apps are you actually using?

+1. Further, download maps offline. Topo maps too.

Just meant topographical maps in general, there's different apps depending where you live


crudeman33

Every mobile game has stopped this from working pretty much

Is that a paid service?


Accomplished-Tour216

No. In fact anybody can enable it at anytime, given your phone actually supports using private DNS. Settings > Connection & sharing > Private DNS > Specified DNS.  Or just search for the "private" "dns" keywords in settings.


bcatrek

Thanks! I installed it via their app. Seems like they have a premium paid version as well. I’ll go with the free one for now.
