Probably not a popular choice, but my VPN comes with an ad blocker which works great.

I'm still using Nord VPN as I got an insane deal a few years ago. Now it has something called Threat Protection which blocks all ads whether on my desktop browsers or on mobile.

✨Edit to add: Yeah down vote me. Nord was a blackfriday deal from 3 years ago. Much has changed since then.

I travel full time and I'm now in the market for a new VPN provider. I don't have my own router.. I don't even have a home.

Instead of just down voting, perhaps come with some constructive ideas or suggestions, thank you! ✨
- Nord VPN
  
  lmao
  
  Like I said it will be unpopular, but it's about to expire anyway.
  
  A more helpful response would be to recommend an alternative
  
  Mullvad VPN
  
  Much appreciated, thank you!
  
  Always my recommendation as well
  
  Why is that lmao
- You can just use a free adblocking DNS for that.
  
  A browser adblocker is better for a few tricky ads.
- GL-AX1800 router with mullvad wireguard vpn config and adguard
  
  I travel full time, so I don't have my own internet connection.
  
  That's a travel router, meant specifically for people in your situation.
  
  Appreciated, however I'm down to a 45 liter carry on bag now and I literally have no space to carry my own router around.
  
  Understood. For what it's worth, this is another one of their products that's quite small:
  
  https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt3000/
  
  It supports several VPN services out of the box.
  
  Thanks for the link.
  
  In all my travels, in all the cafés, libraries, hotels and co-working spaces I've used around the world, never have I seen anyone pull out their own router.
  
  I'm not dismissing it's potential or usefulness, I just think that for me to avoid adverts and to connect to a few streaming services from weird locations it might be a bit overkill.
  
  Sure thing! It can absolutely all be done from your phone; this is just another method if you have multiple devices.
