☕️ Un réglage d’iOS 27 compromet l’efficacité des bloqueurs de pubs par DNS
Plusieurs utilisateurs d’iPhone ont remarqué qu’après avoir installé iOS 27, leur téléphone contournait les solutions domestiques de blocages de publicités basées sur le DNS telles que Pi-hole ou AdGuard. Un rapide tour dans les réglages dans l’appareil a permis d’identifier la source du problème. De façon empirique, elle semble liée à la fonction Assistance connectivité (Connectivity Assist) proposée par iOS au niveau des paramètres de la connexion Wi-Fi.
