Why YSK: Google returns reddit results very often when searching, which many of us want to avoid clicking, to avoid sending traffic to reddit.

I’ve seen many posts on how to avoid sending traffic to reddit for android users, but nothing for iOS.

Now, most of the options I’ve found are not free, but I had already bought StopTheMadness before. You can simply add a rule to redirect reddit.com to teddit.net. Then, you can still click those google results without hesitation.

It should be noted this won’t work system wide in safari web view, only in the safari app.

    You can also setup AdGuard home and redirect the dns request to another service that way as well. Also can block ads as well super useful and on Apple devices you can download a profile for DoH or DOT encrypted dns.

      Oh that’s a good idea, too. Are you talking about the app?

      I have a similar app called AdBlock, but it only allows to redirect based on IP address, which didn’t seem to work well when I tried.

      Does the one you’re using allow you to type in the url (ex: teddit.net) instead of the IP address?

        You can configure PiHole the same with DoH and DoT as well But not sure about the profile “.mobileconfig” for Apple devices AdGuard Home web interface generates it not sure how you would do that with PiHole. But you only need unbound if you want recursive dns that is what I am doing with AdGuard. As for DoH and DoT you can do i don’t remember what was involved I only set it up once and then switched to adguard home. Just preference mainly.
