Alas the plugin that does host-based blocking is not available in the play store version, it's/was a paid feature for the version on GH only. (edit: Don't know the current state though. remember from some time ago when I last checked it).

Sounds like this is still true.

Optionally block ads using a hosts file (not available if installed from the Play store)

I re-linked NetGuard as the most user-friendly, but https://github.com/julian-klode/dns66 was also mentioned.
