We consume more and more online media through mobile devices.
Because of this, it only seemed natural to ask ourselves: Why isn’t Ad-free time! truly mobile?
Many of our competitors have tried to make their services mobile by simply giving their customers the option of connecting to their service through a VPN. The problem with most VPNs is however that they slow your internet down. We’ve looked at this problem and thought there’s got to be a better, more elegant way. And we believe we’ve found it.
We call it mobiDNS.
- mobiDNS is a hybrid between a VPN and DNS.
- mobiDNS enables you to use all of the great features you’ve come to love from Ad-free time! whenever – wherever you are.
- mobiDNS is a lot faster than a classic VPN solution, because with mobiDNS only DNS traffic (which makes up only a tiny amount of your bandwidth) is routed over a VPN. The rest of your data is transferred directly between you and whichever website you’re on.
- mobiDNS keeps your IP address activated and it sets up your DNS settings automatically. It’s almost like magic!
mobiDNS is available as an add-on to your existing Ad-free time! subscription for just $1/month.
