00:00Offline games are great especially when they do not require internet connection and are
00:05easy to play and also there is only one bad side to them that when you are connected to
00:12an internet connection it always show you ads.
00:15This is very bad for people like us who just want to enjoy the game and do not want to
00:21see ads.
00:22For example, I was playing this game and it started showing me ads but the only way it
00:29does not show ads is that if I turn off my internet connection but if I turn off my internet
00:33connection I am no longer connected to the internet and I cannot see any notifications
00:39any messages or any important notifications from the apps that I really care about.
00:45So what should we do in order to turn off those ads?
00:49Well, in that case an app called NetGuard comes in play.
00:54Let me show you now.
00:55I am playing this game.
00:57This is an offline game.
01:00It does not require internet to play so there is that.
01:06Let me finish the game first.
01:11Ok, so whenever I close this game it gives me ads which is not great.
01:16I kinda hate ads while playing the game.
01:19So, this app called NetGuard No Root Firewall comes into play.
01:24The first thing about this app is that it is the simple way to block internet access
01:29to applications only which helps in reducing my data usage, saves my battery and increases
01:35my privacy.
01:35The features of this is that simple to use, no root required and 100% open source which
01:41is always the upside of any application that I want to use.
01:45All we have to do is install this application and turn off internet access for specific
01:51apps for example games that I am playing and you don't want to have any internet connection
01:58to them so I do not see ads.
02:00So this is kind of an old app but still it works like a charm.
02:05Let's open it up and let me show you how this is going to work.
02:09First of all we need to agree to the privacy policy.
02:13There are lots of ok's so I am gonna ok all of them.
02:19Here we go.
02:21Ok, now I am turning off internet and wifi access to specific apps, mostly games.
02:28I am searching games and here we have all the games and I am gonna turn off the internet
02:33access to the games and also I am gonna turn off to my workout app.
02:37This app is really great for use but when I am using it connected to the internet it shows
02:43ads.
02:44So, turning on the switch.
02:46It is like a VPN but turns off internet for specific apps.
02:51I also need to turn off the optimise battery settings, searching for net guard and turn
02:55off the battery optimisation so it works in the background.
03:01Ok, now it is now working, let's open up the, it is enforcing rules, let's open up the games
03:07that I really want to play.
03:09And now you can see I do not see any ads, so I am just gonna show you the really
03:15good stuff.
03:16And also one more thing, if your app is not working because it is trying to connect to
03:22the internet, simply go to the app info, clear the cache data, force up the app and then re-open
03:28the app and the open app will start working because it first loaded the ads on the internet
03:34but it was not connecting to the internet, now it can open peacefully and you can continue
03:38enjoying the app.
03:40Ok, now my game has started, let's play some casual gaming.
03:44And see if we get any ads or not.
03:49This mostly shows ads at the end of the game, so I am gonna finish my game right now.
03:54You can watch me playing this game and you will know for yourself that it is not showing
04:00me any ads.
04:01Ok, let's back it up.
04:05Let's play another game, nope, no ads so far.
04:09Let's try another game and see if we get any ads or not.
04:13Ok, so I am playing the other game and it should have shown me an ad by now but it
04:20is not giving
04:21me any ads, which is a good thing.
04:24This is what I wanted for this NetGod app.
04:28Ok, so no ads so far.
04:32Let's try out other apps as well.
04:34So, instead of gaming you can turn off internet access to other apps like this workout app
04:40that I use daily, almost.
04:44Ok, so, working around, seeing around the apps that, oh, if I watch an ad, what happens?
04:51Nope, it is trying to connect to the internet but the app is blocking internet access so
04:56I don't think this ad is going to load.
05:00Ok, also I have a simple ad write ad banner at the end of the app, at the bottom side.
05:08How I am going to get rid of that?
05:11It's by going to the app info and in the storage, cleaning the cache and force stopping the app.
05:18Now if I open the app, while my NetGod is on, it should not give me any ads.
05:24That was a preloaded ad that I got served but no more ad banners here.
05:30Let's see if we get any ads right now.
05:35Nope, no ads so far.
05:38Great.
05:38What if we turn off the NetGod?
05:41But nobody wants to turn this app always.
05:44You can go to your control panel and hit the three dot icon, button order.
05:49Here you can add and drag buttons.
05:52This is the NetGod button.
05:53If I turn it off, NetGod is now off.
05:58And if I try to go to my app, for example, the home workout app.
06:05And let's see if we get served any ads or not.
06:10Ok, so here you can see the ad banner is back which is annoying.
06:16And now I'm going to clear the cache data.
06:21Here we go.
06:22Force stop the app.
06:24Now I'm gonna turn on the toggle from the NetGod option.
06:29Control Center.
06:31Ok, now let's see if we get any ads or not now.
06:36Please note that clearing cache is important because some apps already save the data of the ads and they serve
06:44you ads even if you don't.
06:45If you're offline.
06:46So if you clear the cache, the ad data is cleared and you do not get any ads after you
06:53turn on the ad guard as well.
06:54So this is a very useful app that I am now going to use every single day of my life.
07:00I hope you will enjoy this video.
07:02Anyway, that's been it.
07:02Thanks for watching.
07:03I will catch you in the next one.
