Which app did you use? I’ve done similar things with Charles and Burp Suite.

It's this one: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adblock/id691121579

I've got it on my list to play with Charles proxy. I'm curious to peer into a few of the requests if possible. But I've read that, especially with mobile apps, they may use cert pinning which defeats something like Charles.

Adblock? Don't they allow "approved ads"?

It's an unfortunate naming coincidence. The app I linked has no affiliation with that Adblock

Is this a VPN or just a dns? Will it play nice with my vpn?
