There is an oft-stated misconception that if a user never clicks on ads, then blocking them won't hurt a site or application financially. This is wrong, developers also earn money by just displaying ads. It is up to you whether you block ads or not. Personally I would not use applications that display ads because I find them very annoying, so without an ad blocker I would not install these applications.
AdAway uses the hosts file to block hostnames, that serve advertisements. The hosts file is a file found in /system/etc/hosts that maps hostnames to IP addresses. It is a traditional way to define hostname to IP address pairs without relying on the Domain Name System (DNS). All unwanted hostnames are redirected to 127.0.0.1 which means they will point to your own device.

Java n'Andorid caltién la so caché DNS interna. El sistema operativu reflexará el nuevu ficheru Hosts nel intre (verifícalo con «ping» na llinia comandos) pero necesitarás reaniciar Android pa reconstruyir la cahé DNS Java.
AdAway will also work without using the webserver!
You can enable a local webserver in preferences of AdAway to answer requests to the local IP address 127.0.0.1. This means requests from applications to ad servers which are redirected to 127.0.0.1 are answered by AdAway's webserver.
Some applications refuse to work, when ad servers are not reachable. With this method they will be reachable again, replying with a blank page and no ad images.
