> Realistically you want it at the router level.
I do both.
I run a firewall on my phone mostly to prevent applications from communicating out without my express permission. I also don't turn on my phone's radios without connecting to a VPN that I run at home, so that all of my phone's traffic gets routed through the defenses I've set up for my home network.
On top of that, I avoid using the web on mobile devices to the greatest degree possible.
