Result scope: the two scores come from separate system-wide and private-browser tests on iPhone. The headline Protection Score is weighted and rounded and does not by itself prove every probe was blocked. Other platform builds were not included.

02 · How filtering works

Choose the filtering scope before you test.

The system-wide and private-browser controls protect different traffic scopes, so each needs its own comparison run.

What 100% does not mean: first-party promotions, sponsored social posts, and some in-stream video ads can share infrastructure with the content and behave differently.

No. Both tested blockers are Premium features included with a subscription.

Which blocker modes were tested?

The Premium system-wide blocker and the blocker inside VPN Pro’s private browser were tested separately on iPhone. Each scored 100%.
