For anyone that comes across this, the way to do this is my adding an ad-blocking dns server to the dns server in wifi settings. Please see below link on how to do this:

Does this work while you are on VPN? As I understood it, the VPN would override your system level DNS settings when it was connected.

It depends on the VPN that you are using, some come with their own DNS server, others use the DNS server on your system.
