Check out https://blokada.org/index.html . Creates a VPN tunnel for your traffic and routes through a host file. Even let's you set name servers. Can't do that on iPhone necessarily. Root not required!

To add to this, because it's not immediately clear from your comment, the VPN tunnel runs locally on your phone.

I'd never heard of blockada, just installed it and it seems to work great! Thanks!
