Ad blocking and ProtonVPN (sh.itjust.works)

I've been on Mullvad for a while now, but I'm looking to move to ProtonVPN soon and I'm curious how well it blocks ads out of the box.

I've looked into the possibility of combining it with something like NextDNS or AdGuard, but I'm not super tech savvy, so I think I'd prefer to keep it simple if possible.

Mullvad has been okay, but occasionally ads get through. If ProtonVPN is that good or better, I'll probably be fine.

It's...ok. Better than nothing on your phone but for PC ublock, no script, privacy badger on Firefox for zero ads is the way ๐Ÿ‘

That's my setup except for privacy badger, I'll have to look into it.
