I use Block This! on my Android device, which essentially a pseudo-VPN that blackholes ad requests (as well as some trackers and miscellany). Wired bounces me immediately if I have it enabled.
Indeed, that is just an ad blocker. I looked at their github and it hasn’t been updated in 7 years.
For good basic ad blocking you might want to try something like https://controld.com/free-dns which works well. No app required, just set it in your DNS on Android.

If you want more finetuning look at the app https://www.rethinkdns.com/
For bypassing pay walls you want something like Cromite (Chromium) or better Firefox, or a privacy fork like Mull.
