Caution
[*] Re-Malwack comes with a pre-configured hosts sources setups in which can be used freely without worrying about configuring everything from scratch. However, in-app ads such as sponsored posts on Facebook or spotify ads that show up for “non-premium” users are NOT blocked because they are elements inside the app itself, The type of ads that get blocked are those ads that show up in websites and in-app pop-up external ads by Google etc.
Tip
[!] A profile is a group of hosts sources in one file, and it’s automatically selected - during installation of the module - based on your device resources, which makes sure you will get a perfect adblocking experience yet not sacrificing all your device performance, you may also switch between profiles and even customize everything as you like!
Tip
[@] Supported stuff for import: Hosts sources, custom rules (bindhosts only), whitelist and blacklist (bindhosts and AdAway only)
Caution
Also avoid using other types of adblock files, only adblock files in hosts format (Linux/Windows) are accepted
Requirements
Important
- Stable internet connection. (You can also install the module without internet, then setup things later after reboot)
- and umm…just a working brain.
Caution
- Do not use this module with any other ad blocker module/app, such as AdAway and Magisk’s built-in systemless hosts module.
- In case module is active but ads are not blocked in browsers such as chrome/chromium-based browsers, Please enable superuser mode in KSU manager app for target browser app then try again*

How does it work? - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Tip
How does this module block ads?
- It uses your system’s
hostsfile systemlessly to block ads and malware by denying access for your phone to connect to them completely.
Tip
There’s a problem when using the module
- Export logs via module WebUI, then create an issue explaining your problem and attach ss of the problem if there is any. You can also report your problem in our telegram support group as well.
Tip
AdBlock doesn’t work on some apps (ex: Chrome), or doesn’t work completely
- As was said above, Make sure you have disabled umount for the target app (if you use KernelSU), also make sure you disabled LiteMode (if you use APatch). If nothing works then create an issue about it or report the problem in our telegram support group. If you’ve already done these, and no result then switch to a stronger adblock profile/add more robust host source from your own choice.
Tip
Can I contribute in something?
