There are some “VPN” apps that can stop connections system-wide. I’m not sure about custom block lists, but take a look at the free Lockdown app (it’s FOSS). It does all processing on-device. There’s also a paid app (which for me is an expensive subscription) called Guardian Firewall, which uses its servers to process requests.

If you 'supervise' your iPhone you can also configure an adblocker with a proxy auto-config. Less fiddly than a VPN but harder to customise! Supervising requires a wipe too. https://github.com/essandess/easylist-pac-privoxy
