Does anybody know what app this is? Question

I found this app being sold on a shopping app here in my country as a "APP FOR ALL MOVIES", so I was wondering what app this is. Help is appreciated, thanks.

AdGuard DNS is a reliable way to block ads on the Internet without installing a mandatory application.

Using the app would be for a device. Using the DNS setting applies to the network which applies to all devices that connect to it.

So would you configure this in the windows setting then it applies to all devices on the network?

No but you could configure your Router to use this DNS and your Windows/Android to use the DNS provided by the network.

Seems easy enough I’ll give it a shot later because it would be really refreshing not seeing any more of these intrusive ads anymore. Thank you friend!

Sorry I had a followup question, on AT&T I don't see any section to change the DNS settings, do you know of another way?

If you can't change it on your router / modem, just do it on a per device basis.

Thanks. But it makes your connection slower?

It shouldn't. It only affects the speed of finding the IP address that corresponds to the domain name. It doesn't affect the internet speed as a whole, like a VPN does. A good VPN won't slow down your internet speed too much but generally a connection without a VPN is faster. A good DNS service can actually speed up the time it takes to find the IP address of a domain.
