Hi there, Unfortunately that’s the only solution for now. Apple changed their ads framework and there’s no alternative to external dns based adblocking anymore. Here’s more on that: > [@Regarding iOS 14.5 update changes in adblocking](https://community.blokada.org/t/regarding-ios-14-5-update-changes-in-adblocking/14224): > > As many of our iOS users already noticed, there is a significant change in adblocking effectiveness starting with the iOS 14.5 or newer. We have done some research, and it turns out Apple has introduced some breaking changes in their ads framework together with the mentioned iOS update, that causes Blokada (and other similar apps) to stop working as well as it used to.

We’ve brought the price for cloud down to a minimum but customisable dns infrastructure can’t be fulfilled privately and securely for free. We don’t want to sell data hence there’s no way for us other than putting a price for our dns infrastructure. There’ll be a proper press release regarding v6 shortly. Libre is still free of course.

I’m afraid that’s all I can tell you for now --- _[View the full topic](https://community.blokada.org/t/blokada-for-ios-is-paid-now/18526)._
