Hi team, I used to see ads using Brave version 1.18.77, but since I updated to 1.18.78 and then now to 1.19.84, I haven’t seen any ads for the last 2 weeks. I am using macOS 10.15.7 Any idea why? Could you help me? Thank you! @Mattches @steeven ? ---

HI, I too seem to face the same issue… Very minimal number of ads per day… Like 1 or 2. What is the reason for this? Thanks Anuruddha ---

@ehquionest, There are many reasons you may not be getting many (or any) ads for a time – please see the “ **I am not receiving ads…** ” section in the following article and consider whether or not this may explain why you are not seeing ads: > **[troubleshootingfaq - BATProject](https://www.reddit.com/r/BATProject/wiki/troubleshootingfaq)** ---

I have been receiving ads for the last 4 month without any problem, even using a VPN and I am still connected to the same server. If I chager VPN server even for a full day, nothing changes. This happened since I updated 1.18.77 to last version… ---

@ehquionest, You should _not_ be using a VPN in order to receive Ads. Again, there are many reasons why you may not be seeing ads at this time. Did you read the above linked article? ---

Yes indeed I read it, this is how I saw for VPN. Strange as I had up to 34 BAT accumulated in the last 3 month WITH a VPN. So Brave promoting privacy, do not allow users to use VPN as well??? ---
