Hey everyone! I noticed in recent updates for Toggle VPN  that the developers rolled out integrated anti-tracker and ad-blocking features across their device ecosystem. For those running the app on Apple TV, does the ad-block filter successfully strip out promotional overlays or intrusive elements on free ad-supported streaming apps, or is it mostly focused on background telemetry blocking?

I’d be interested in hearing other users’ experiences because ad-blocking behavior can vary significantly between streaming apps. On Apple TV, a VPN-level filter may be more effective at blocking certain tracking domains or background telemetry than removing promotional overlays that are built directly into an app’s interface or video stream. Some ads are also delivered from the same infrastructure as legitimate content, making them harder to filter without affecting playback. I’d therefore treat anti-tracker features mainly as a privacy benefit rather than expecting them to eliminate every advertisement. For current Apple TV availability and setup information, the Toggle VPN Apple TV download page https://toggle.org/download-vpn-apple-tv is worth checking.
