<p>Thanks for your report! It's odd. AdBlock has absolutely nothing
to do with the VPN settings on iOS 9 devices. Yet we have a lot of
people telling us they're somehow being asked to set up a VPN when
they try to install AdBlock.</p>
<p>Can you please tell us exactly what version of iOS 9 and AdBlock
your son has and which device?</p>

I think that I may have found your problem: the also had a second
app installed, called Been Choice (link from the App Store:
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/been-choice-block-ads-earn/id968929337?mt=8">
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/been-choice-block-ads-earn/id968929...</a>
)</p>
<p>This app offers the choice to block ads or replace them with ads
served by the app, earning the user rewards. It employs some type
of VPN to do so, and that is what appears to have bolixed things up
completely- perhaps an interaction with AdBlock?</p>
<p>Best,<br>

<p>Ah, that helps! According to Been's listing on iTunes (thank you
for the link!), version 2 seems to fix the VPN issues that some
people have been running into. Do you happen to know what version
of Been your son has?</p>
