DNS adblocking. I don't see those ads.
Unfortunately this break LTE internet.
What phone? Never had an issue with private DNS on Android. Unfortunately IOS requires it setup on every connection, but works.

Make sure you restart the app after applying settings, should pickup new DNS and poof, 95% of ads are gone instantly.
It's on a Fairphone 3 on Android 13. On Wi-Fi Private DNS works perfectly, but as soon as I switch to 4G the internet connection don't work anymore. As soon as I reset the private DNS to default it works as intended again. That's seems to be a carrier issue.
Definitely sounds carrier related... Works fine for me on Android with TMO
Same, Pixel 8 Pro + GrapheneOS + NextDNS, stateside using AT&T, no problems with private DNS
Your carrier probably blocks the DNS. Use a VPN, Proton VPN is trustworthy and reputable and they have a free option.

It should not. Some phones don't play well with private DNS though, mostly entry level ones that thrives on spying.
