How To Block HuraWatch Ads [Step-by-Step Guide]

If you are a fan of watching movies and TV shows online, you might have come across Hurawatch, a streaming platform that offers a large collection of content for free. However, you might also have noticed that Hurawatch is full of annoying ads that pop up every time you click on something or try to play a video. These ads can not only disrupt your viewing experience, but also pose a risk to your privacy and security, as they might contain malware or phishing links. In this blog post, we will show you how to block ads on Hurawatch using some simple methods.

What is Hurawatch?

Hurawatch is a website that allows users to watch movies and TV shows online without paying any subscription fees. It claims to have over 10,000 titles in various genres and languages, and to update its library regularly with new releases. However, Hurawatch is not a legal or authorized platform, as it does not have the rights to distribute the content it hosts. Instead, it relies on third-party servers that host pirated copies of the content, which might be of low quality or have missing subtitles. Moreover, Hurawatch makes money by displaying ads on its website, which are often intrusive and annoying.

How to Block Ads on Hurawatch?

There are several ways to block ads on Hurawatch, depending on the device and browser you are using. Here are some of the most common and effective methods:

Install an ad blocker to block the Hurawatch ads

An ad blocker is a browser extension that blocks ads from appearing on websites. There are many ad blockers available for different browsers, such as AdGuard, uBlock Origin, or Adblock Plus. You can install one of these extensions from your browser’s web store and enable it to block the Hurawatch ads. This will prevent most of the ads from showing up on the website, and also protect you from malicious or deceptive ads.

Here is how to install the AdGuard browser extension and how install the AdGuard app for iPhone and iOS:

The below steps are about the AdGuard Browser Extension, which safeguards only your browser. To protect your entire device, download the AdGuard app.

ChromeFirefoxMicrosoft EdgeOperaSafari (macOS)Android phoneiPhone

Open the extension’s page in Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome.
In the opened dialog box, click Add extension.

Open the page addons.mozilla.org.
Click Add to Firefox.

Find AdGuard Browser Extension in the Edge Add-ons store and click Get.
In the opened dialog window, press Add extension.

Open the page addons.opera.com.
Click Add to Opera.

Open the App Store and find the needed extension there.
Press Get → Install → Open.
To set up AdGuard for Safari, enable the AdGuard extensions in the Safari settings. In a notification, click Fix it. In an opened window, check the boxes next to AdGuard extensions.

Not all extensions are required for AdGuard for Safari to function correctly. For instance, checking the Icon extension enables the icon in the tray menu. However, we recommend to enable all of them.

After you complete steps 1-3, AdGuard for Safari will start functioning. You can now configure its settings.

Download the AdGuard app on your device.
Allow installing apps from unknown sources.
Once the file download is complete, tap Open in the notification.

A popup will appear. Tap Settings, navigate to Install unknown apps, and grant permission for the browser you’ve used to download the file.
Install the app.
Once the browser has obtained the necessary permissions, the system will ask you if you want to install the AdGuard application. Tap Install.

You will then be asked to read AdGuard’s License Agreement and Privacy Policy. You can also participate in product development. To do this, check the boxes for Send crash reports automatically and Send technical and interaction data. Then tap Continue.
Create a local VPN.
In order to filter all traffic directly on your device and not route it through a remote server, AdGuard needs to establish a VPN connection.
Enable HTTPS filtering. It is not a mandatory option, however, we advice to turn it on for the best ad-blocking quality.
- If your device is running Android 7–9, you’ll be prompted to install a root certificate and configure HTTPS filtering after the local VPN setup.
  
  After you tap Install now, a prompt will appear asking you to authenticate the certificate installation with a password or fingerprint.
- If you have Android 10+ on your device, then after creating a local VPN, you will see the main app screen with a snack bar at the bottom: tap Enable and follow the instructions on the next screen.

AdGuard for iOS is an app presented in the App Store. To install it on your device, open the App Store and tap the Search icon on the bottom of the screen.
.
Type adguard in the search bar and tap the string adGuard which will be among search results.
On the opened page of the App Store tap GET under the AdGuard – adblock&privacy and then INSTALL. You may be requested to enter your Apple ID login and password. Type it in and wait for the installation to complete.

Use a custom DNS server

A DNS (Domain Name System) server is a server that translates domain names (such as hurawatch.com) into IP addresses (such as 104.21.235.109). By default, your device uses the DNS server provided by your internet service provider (ISP), which might not be very reliable or secure. You can change your DNS server to a custom one that offers better performance and security, such as AdGuard DNS.

AdGuard DNS servers have ad-blocking capabilities, which can help you block ads on Hurawatch and other websites.

The easiest way to connect to AdGuard DNS is through the AdGuard app. Just download AdGuard or AdGuard VPN and select AdGuard DNS in the DNS server settings. No need to follow the below steps.

Follow these manual steps to use the AdGuard DNS:

Windows

Open the Control Panel and click on Network and Internet.
Click on Network and Sharing Center and then on Change adapter settings.
Right-click on the network adapter that you use to connect to the internet and select Properties.

Check the box that says Use the following DNS server addresses and enter the following values:
- Preferred DNS server: 94.140.14.14
- Alternate DNS server: 94.140.15.15
Click OK and close the windows.
Restart your browser or device to apply the changes.

Open System Preferences and click on Network.
Select the network interface that you use to connect to the internet and click on Advanced.
Click on the DNS tab and click on the + button to add a new DNS server.
Enter 94.140.14.14 and click on OK.
Repeat the same steps to add another DNS server with the value 94.140.15.15.
Click on Apply and close the windows.
Restart your browser or device to apply the changes.

10 Rules to Avoid Online Scams

Here are 10 practical safety rules to help you avoid malware, online shopping scams, crypto scams, and other online fraud. Each tip includes a quick “if you already got hit” action.

Stop and verify before you click, log in, download, or pay.

Most scams win by creating urgency. Verify using a trusted method: type the website address yourself, use the official app, or call a known number (not the one in the message).

If you already clicked: close the page, do not enter passwords, and run a malware scan.
Keep your operating system, browser, and apps updated.

Updates patch security holes used by malware and malicious ads. Turn on automatic updates where possible.

If you saw a scary “update now” pop-up: close it and update only through your device settings or the official app store.
Use layered protection: antivirus plus an ad blocker.

Antivirus helps block malware. An ad blocker reduces scam redirects, phishing pages, and malvertising.

If your browser is acting weird: remove unknown extensions, reset the browser, then run a full scan.
Install apps, software, and extensions only from official sources.

Avoid cracked software, “keygens,” and random downloads. During installs, choose Custom/Advanced and decline bundled offers you do not recognize.

If you already installed something suspicious: uninstall it, restart, and scan again.
Treat links and attachments as untrusted by default.

Phishing often impersonates delivery services, banks, and popular brands. If it is unexpected, do not open attachments or log in through the message.

If you entered credentials: change the password immediately and enable 2FA.
Shop safely: research the store, then pay with protection.

Be cautious with brand-new stores, “closing sale” stories, and prices that make no sense. Prefer credit cards or PayPal for dispute options. Avoid wire transfers, gift cards, and crypto payments.

If you already paid: contact your card issuer or PayPal quickly to dispute the transaction.
Crypto rule: never pay a “fee” to withdraw or recover money.

Common patterns include fake profits, then “tax,” “gas,” or “verification” fees. Another is a “recovery agent” who demands upfront crypto.

If you already sent crypto: stop paying, save evidence (wallet addresses, TXIDs, chats), and report the scam to the platform used.
Secure your accounts with unique passwords and 2FA (start with email).

Use a password manager and unique passwords for every account. Enable 2FA using an authenticator app when possible.

If you suspect an account takeover: change passwords, sign out of all devices, and review recent logins and recovery settings.
Back up important files and keep one backup offline.

Backups protect you from ransomware and device failure. Keep at least one backup on an external drive that is not always connected.

If you suspect infection: do not connect backup drives until the system is clean.
If you think you are a victim: stop losses, document evidence, and escalate fast.

Move quickly. Speed matters for disputes, account recovery, and limiting damage.
- Stop payments and contact: do not send more money or respond to the scammer.
- Call your bank or card issuer: block transactions, replace the card if needed, and start a dispute or chargeback.
- Secure your email first: change the email password, enable 2FA, and remove unfamiliar recovery options.
- Secure other accounts: change passwords, enable 2FA, and log out of all sessions.
- Scan your device: remove suspicious apps or extensions, then run a full malware scan.
- Save evidence: screenshots, emails, order pages, tracking pages, wallet addresses, TXIDs, and chat logs.
- Report it: to the payment provider, marketplace, social platform, exchange, or wallet service involved.

These rules are intentionally simple. Most online losses happen when decisions are rushed. Slow down, verify independently, and use payment methods and account controls that give you recourse.
