To add to this, you can install AdGuard Public DNS mobile config file, and tweak it (via profile builder on their website) to add family protection and change from just a pseudo VPN to DNS over HTTPS, TLS + add Wi-Fi networks for it to ignore automatically and exclude some domains.
I mean adguardDNS. That can raise some questions.
And as for Cyprus, many russian companies are based there just to avoid sanctions. That means nothing
iOS users have plenty of options here too
DNS and VPN blocks will work on most apps and all browsers.
I prefer Asguard dns and then Safari extension or Brave

I would not trust adguard as it is a russian company that nobody knows what it does to your data
They are locsted in Cyprus, and in fairness, they’ve got a much better reputation than most privacy/security companies out there.
Plus, depending on the service, adblocking is done locally.

Of course, any DNS has the potential for abuse, but there’s no reason to not trust them vs any other DNS provider out there.
Like I said, their reputation is stellar in the privacy world, and that means more to me than where they are located.
I beleive its in Cyprus now - but fair point - NextDNS might be a better option in that case
