Title: Adblock popups
Post by: bandit8623 on March 03, 2025, 05:31:39 PM
Hello,

seems websites now are doing the turn off adblocker popups more than ever.  does zen armor have a way around this?
some sites allow you to select "ill fix it next time" 
some sites wont let you browse until ad blockers are off.
Seems to happen more on mobile devices
Thanks for any help.  i use the free zenarmor for home and for biz we have a paid sub.

Hi,

I believe you have an ad blocker plugin installed in your browser. Websites can detect them because they operate through a proxy. Zenarmor prevents ads while a session is active, making it unnoticeable to websites.

Does it happen on your Laptop/PC for the same site?

That would indicate, as Sy said, it is being blocked at device level on your mobile and not OPNsense/Zenarmor.
