I have seen many VPN services are included with some extra feature like ad blocker, both on PPTP or OpenVPN service. Do you know how to create VPN with ad blocker feature? Do we just need to install kind of firewall for example spf? Or maybe there some special application need to be installed?

Hello Kaz Wolfe, they just block all ads domains with their own DNS resolvers.
I don't understand how does this work?

You think or you have ever seen it?

It's pretty easy. If I do not want to receive ads from googleads.com. I just have to set in my computer hosts file :

127.0.0.1 googleads.com

This way, instead of making a DNS query to find the IP of the domain googleads.com, my computer will directly use 127.0.0.1 (itself), and it will not find anything. In my web browser, all googleads.com ads will not be displayed.

If you can set dns rules like that locally, you can also deploy it directly from your router, and any computer which use it as dns resolver will not display any ads.

With a VPN, if you use the DNS resolver of the VPN provider, they can do the same to block ads
