Looking at the Open source app Lockdown to block app ads in iOS, but you can’t have it running with a separate vpn. It apparently isn’t a vpn itself (like most app ad blockers) but uses the vpn settings so I can’t use ProtonVPN with it. They DO have their own VPN but not sure I need another one just to use this app.

@gritnot This is because for the app to effectively function as an ad, tracker, etc blocker, a "VPN" is the best way to do that. When they use the VPN slot it makes the device route all available traffic through the tunnel, therefore allowing lockdown to function to its fullest.
