A VPN with ad blocking can do much more than simply change your public IP address. At SV LondonUK Ltd, we combine WireGuard VPN encryption with AdGuard Home DNS filtering and Quad9 threat protection to create several layers of protection for compatible phones, tablets and laptops.
The aim is simple: provide a safer, cleaner and more private internet connection without expecting customers to understand all the technology working behind it.
Our protection works in layers:
Your device → WireGuard VPN → AdGuard Home → Quad9 protected DNS → Internet
Each part performs a different job. As a result, the VPN can protect the connection while DNS filtering helps reduce unwanted advertising, tracking and connections to known malicious domains.
How Does a VPN With Ad Blocking Work?
When your VPN connects, your device creates an encrypted tunnel to the VPN infrastructure using WireGuard.
WireGuard protects traffic travelling between your device and the VPN server.
Meanwhile, DNS filtering provides another layer.
AdGuard Home checks DNS requests against filtering rules. Therefore, it can stop many recognised advertising and tracking domains before your device establishes the normal connection to them.
After AdGuard approves a request, our configuration can forward it to Quad9.
Quad9 checks requested domains against threat-intelligence sources for known malicious destinations.
Together, these technologies provide several different protections instead of expecting one product to do everything.
How a VPN With Ad Blocking Helps Block Ads and Trackers
Websites and applications regularly make internet connections in the background.
Some connections are essential. However, others may communicate with:
- Advertising networks
- Tracking platforms
- Analytics services
- Telemetry systems
- Unwanted third-party domains
AdGuard Home can block many of these requests at DNS level.
Instead of allowing the device to connect to a recognised advertising or tracking domain, AdGuard can stop the DNS request before the normal connection begins.
During our own testing, we confirmed that advertising and tracking-related domains were being blocked through the VPN connection.
Because the filtering happens through DNS, the protection can also apply to applications. Therefore, it is not limited to an extension installed in one web browser.
This additional protection is one of the main benefits of our VPN with ad blocking approach.
How a VPN With Ad Blocking Adds Quad9 Threat Protection
Advertising and tracker filtering is only part of the system.
After AdGuard Home allows a DNS request, Quad9 can check the requested destination against its threat-intelligence sources.
Quad9 can help block domains associated with threats such as:
- Malware
- Phishing
- Spyware
- Ransomware infrastructure
- Botnets
- Fraudulent websites
- Other known malicious activity
If Quad9 identifies a requested domain as malicious, it can prevent the normal DNS lookup from completing.
Therefore, the device gains another security checkpoint before reaching the destination.
However, no DNS provider can identify every new threat immediately. You should still use software updates, strong passwords, multi-factor authentication and sensible browsing habits.
Encrypted DNS for a VPN With Ad Blocking
Our configuration can also send DNS requests from the filtering system to Quad9 using DNS-over-HTTPS.
Traditional DNS traffic may travel without encryption. In contrast, DNS-over-HTTPS protects the communication between our filtering system and the upstream DNS resolver.
The protection therefore consists of:
1. WireGuard VPN encryption
2. AdGuard Home DNS filtering
3. Advertising and tracker blocking
4. Quad9 malicious-domain protection
5. Encrypted upstream DNS
Each layer has its own purpose. Together, they provide a more complete security setup than simply changing an IP address.
What Can a VPN With Ad Blocking Help Stop?
A VPN with ad blocking combines two different types of protection: encrypted VPN connectivity and DNS filtering.
Advertising and Tracking Domains
AdGuard Home can block many recognised advertising, analytics and tracking domains before your device contacts them.
Consequently, this can reduce unwanted background connections and provide a cleaner browsing experience.
Known Phishing and Malware Domains
Quad9 focuses on security rather than advertising.
Its threat-protected DNS service checks domains against threat intelligence and can prevent connections to destinations already identified as malicious.
Unwanted Background Connections
Applications often communicate with external services in the background.
DNS filtering provides another level of control over which domains can resolve through the protected connection.
Will It Block Every Advert?
We prefer to explain the limitations clearly rather than promise something the technology cannot deliver.
DNS filtering can block many advertising and tracking domains, but it cannot remove every advertisement on the internet.
Some services deliver advertising through the same or closely related infrastructure used for their normal content.
YouTube advertising is a common example.
Attempting to block every related domain at DNS level could also interfere with the videos you actually want to watch.
Therefore, AdGuard Home should be considered an additional privacy and filtering layer rather than a guarantee that every advert will disappear.
Where Can You Use Your VPN With Ad Blocking?
Your VPN can protect compatible devices across many different types of internet connection.
For example, you can use it with:
- Home Wi-Fi
- Mobile data
- Airport Wi-Fi
- Hotel Wi-Fi
- Coffee-shop Wi-Fi
- Train and public transport Wi-Fi
- Shared office networks
- Remote-working connections
- Holiday accommodation
- Public hotspots
This is particularly useful when you connect to networks that you do not own or control.
VPN With Ad Blocking on Public Wi-Fi
Imagine connecting your phone to free Wi-Fi at an airport.
You do not control the router, and you do not know how the network has been configured.
With your SV LondonUK Ltd VPN connected, protected traffic travels through the encrypted WireGuard tunnel to the VPN infrastructure.
In addition, DNS requests can use the AdGuard and Quad9 protection instead of relying solely on the DNS service supplied by the public network.
As a result, you can take a familiar security setup with you when you travel.
VPN With Ad Blocking on Mobile Data
A VPN is not limited to Wi-Fi.
During our testing, we used a mobile phone with Wi-Fi completely switched off.
The phone connected through mobile data, established its WireGuard VPN connection and successfully sent its DNS requests through the AdGuard protection system.
Therefore, your protection does not have to stop when you leave home.
Your VPN can continue operating as your phone moves between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
Protecting Your Public IP Address
Without a VPN, websites normally see the public IP address associated with the internet connection you are currently using.
When you connect through the VPN, websites will normally see the public IP address used by the VPN connection instead.
Therefore, your home broadband, mobile or public Wi-Fi IP address does not need to be presented directly to every website you visit while the VPN is active.
However, changing your IP address does not make you completely anonymous.
Websites can still recognise users through account logins, cookies and other techniques.
For that reason, we describe a VPN as one part of a wider privacy and security setup rather than claiming that it makes somebody invisible online.
Why Choose an SV LondonUK Ltd VPN With Ad Blocking?
Large international VPN providers may offer enormous server networks and mass-market applications.
SV LondonUK Ltd takes a different approach.
We focus on carefully configured infrastructure, straightforward pricing, transparency and personal customer support. Compare our monthly and annual Personal VPN plans to see the options and current prices.
Clear £50 Annual Pricing
Our Personal VPN costs:
£5.50 per month
or
£50 per year
You do not need to sign up for two or three years to receive the £50 annual price.
You also do not need to pay several years in advance.
Most importantly, the £50 annual price is not simply a first-year introductory offer followed by a much higher standard renewal price.
First year: £50
Following annual renewal: £50
There is no three-year subscription requirement to receive that annual price.
No Unnecessary Extras
We do not believe customers should have to purchase additional products simply to make their standard VPN service useful.
If you require something different, such as a dedicated private VPN server, dedicated IP or a setup for multiple devices, we can discuss those requirements separately.
This keeps our standard Personal VPN simple and straightforward.
Cancel Future Renewals at Any Time
You can cancel future renewals of your SV LondonUK Ltd VPN subscription at any time.
Therefore, you are not tied into a two or three-year VPN agreement.
Any refund eligibility is handled according to our published Refund & Cancellation Policy.
You can also find the policy at the bottom of our website, allowing you to read the terms before purchasing.
We Take Data Security Seriously
Privacy is an important part of providing a VPN service.
SV LondonUK Ltd follows a data-minimisation approach. This means we aim to collect and retain only the information reasonably necessary to provide, administer, secure and support our services.
We do not believe in collecting information simply because technology makes it possible.
Instead, limited information may be required to:
- Provide and administer the service
- Manage customer accounts and subscriptions
- Maintain infrastructure security
- Monitor service health
- Diagnose technical problems
- Prevent abuse
- Provide customer support
- Meet legitimate legal or regulatory requirements
Full information about how we handle personal data is available in our Privacy Policy.
Our Approach to VPN Logs
We do not keep unnecessary browsing logs.
However, operating a secure service can require limited account, connection, DNS or technical information for legitimate operational, security, monitoring or troubleshooting purposes.
Our approach is therefore based on data minimisation rather than collecting unnecessary information about customers’ internet use.
Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we may need it and how we protect it.
This gives customers a clearer and more responsible explanation than simply making an unrealistic claim that absolutely nothing is ever processed or logged anywhere.
A Registered Business You Can Verify
When you purchase a security or privacy service, you should be able to identify the company providing it.
Our legal company is:
SV LondonUK Ltd
Company No. 17469761
Registered in England & Wales
We are also registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
ICO Registration: ZC257618
Our company and data-protection details appear openly on our website.
Therefore, customers can verify who provides the service and find our published privacy and cancellation information.
Personal Support From the Business Providing Your VPN
With SV LondonUK Ltd, you are not simply downloading an application and being left to work everything out yourself.
If you need help with your connection or configuration, you can contact the business providing the service.
Furthermore, because we build, configure and test the infrastructure ourselves, we understand how the system works and can troubleshoot it when required.

Why a VPN With Ad Blocking Works Best With Layered Security
No VPN, DNS service or security product can make a device completely secure on its own.
For example, a VPN cannot stop you voluntarily entering your password into a convincing phishing website. It also cannot repair an infected computer or replace software updates, strong passwords and multi-factor authentication.
That is why our VPN with ad blocking approach uses several technologies together.
WireGuard protects the connection, AdGuard helps reduce unwanted advertising and tracking domains, while Quad9 adds protection against known malicious domains.
Together, these layers provide a stronger overall security setup.
Protect Your Devices With a VPN With Ad Blocking
Once configured, protecting a compatible device can be as straightforward as switching the VPN connection on.
Whether you are at home, travelling, working remotely, using mobile data or connecting to public Wi-Fi, an SV LondonUK Ltd VPN with ad blocking provides encrypted WireGuard connectivity alongside additional DNS filtering and threat protection.
Our approach combines:
- WireGuard VPN encryption
- AdGuard DNS filtering
- Tracker and advertising-domain blocking
- Quad9 malicious-domain protection
- Encrypted upstream DNS
- Data minimisation
- Transparent pricing
- No three-year commitment for the annual price
- Clear cancellation terms
- A registered company and ICO registration
- Personal customer support
