Clean web on surfshark vpn did not work for me when it comes to blocking ads. As I opened my apps on my fire tv cube there were a lot of ads. I contaced surfshark vpn customer support, and they replied that surf shark vpn blocks only dangerous ads, and not a hundred percent. Than I cancelled surfshark and went with torguard vpn which blocks all ads, expect youtube of course. All you have to do on torguard is to to settings and choose dns adblocker.

I had the same problems. When I contacted them, they gave me this info which seemed to help…

Hope this email finds you well!

Cleanweb is a feature that blocks malicious ads and malicious websites.

I would suggest changing the DNS on your device. To do that please follow the steps below:

Start your Android TV Box.
Go to “Settings”.
Select “Wi-Fi”.
Choose your Wi-Fi network.
Select “Advanced Options”.
Choose “IP settings”.
Choose “Static”.
You have to get an IP from the same IP range as a router. To do that just use your router’s IP and change the last group of digits. For example, if your router’s IP is 192.168.1.1 you should set your Android TV Box to something like 192.168.1.100. You can notice that the first three groups of digits remained the same and only the last one changed. Click on “Next”.
In the “Gateway” field enter the IP of your router and click “Next”.
In the “Enter Network Prefix Length” field enter 24 and click “Next”.
On the next screen enter:
DNS1: 208.67.222.222 and press next.
DNS2: 208.67.220.220 and press next.
That’s all!

Additionally, let’s quickly try changing the connection protocol. To do so, go to the Surfshark app - Settings - VPN Settings - Protocol. Select the OpenVPN (UDP) option and try to connect.

If the issue persists, give the other protocols a try as well.

I look forward to hearing from you soon, take care.
