Click to expand... but it doesn't mean they block it on purpose. so it's kind of tricky to implement some kind of blocking of app usage when you can't pull in an ad. sometimes admob seems to have an overload or not return any ads and that's not the user's fault either. vpn's use another gateway than the 3G/Wifi one unless your turn it off. question would be to what will you verify the current gateway?

You can use a watermark of x to ensure no false triggers. This all assumes network connectivity of some sort. Upvote 0
