AdLock's Android traffic filtering uses a local VPN and cannot coexist with another VPN app.
Users who rely on a commercial VPN may need to choose between the VPN connection and AdLock filtering or confirm another supported setup.

Editorial overview
Aggregated Overview
Official materials document cross-platform ad and tracker blocking, filtering, and threat warnings. Public Trustpilot feedback is limited and includes complaints about blocking reliability, compatibility, billing, and support, so performance and support assessments remain uncertain.
