I can confirm that going out of range of Wi-Fi when the screen is off doesn't trigger the adguard auto restart, hence leaving me with adguard disabled. I remember it happening from time to time on stable 2.10, but it seems to be worst on 2.11 beta. Manually killing Wi-Fi restarts adguard as expected.

Edit: As I thought, removing battery optimisation for adguard seems to fix it. I'll report after testing it a bit more.
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
[MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION] , please bring back option to disable filter log in 2.11.x beta. You guys have made logging mandatory for "Assistant" but give option to turn it off if we don't use 'Assistant Notification'.

I don't want ad-guard to use anymore resource than it already does, even with 2.10.x ram & cpu usage almost doubled than 2.9.x.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Before turning it on, we made sure that it does not consume resources.

Basically, it consumes nothing unless you open the filtering log or assistant. Only then it creates the log items.
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
Don't know about the resources usage as i haven't compare it yet because it's beta.

But your claim about it doesn't log anything if we don't use assistant or don't open filter log is false. I check it logging everything even with "none" notification that's why i rolled back to stable, may be it's a bug.

Anyhow, manual control would be preferable over automatic. That's way we can be sure when we're being indexed.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
As I've said, some information about the last 500 requests is stored in memory (not persisted anywhere!) but it does not consume any resources. It's about 500 bytes on a request * 500 = 250kb, that's nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
But why it should even store single entry, let alone the 500 when it's not going to be useful anywhere !

If user specifically turned off the Assistant that means they don't wants to be indexed or logged. it's not about only 250 Kb, why even 1 Kb extra when it's not going to help in anyway ! Also it's not just 500 records it's always updating 500 records every second of time, it continuously gets updated.

Purpose of Ad-guard is to block tracking not to add for it self. Sure it'll help some of users so feel fee to add feature BUT optional, not forced.
[Android Apps and Games] Mkkxda:
I second that motion :good:
[Android Apps and Games] nixie2121:
trying AdGuard now, coming from blokada. is there an optimal setup most of you use? I use a app, adm, advanced download manager. ads always show in this app no matter what I use. curious if anyone knows if AdGuard can block these ads?
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Be sure to enable HTTPS filtering. I Besides the default blocklists, I also enable the Annoyances filter, Filter unblocking useful ads and the Anti-Adblock Killer | Reek filter.

ADM ads can't be blocked as each ad address is random each time. I eventually gave up trying to block them and bought the Pro version.
[Android Apps and Games] nixie2121:
thanks, I'm going to buy adm as well, he deserves it for a great product. what about Dns, do you Enable that? thanks so much

I have some issues with AdGuard DNS : I can't send MMS and Firefox Sync doesn't work (especially sending links to other devices) anymore.

Is there a way to monitor what does it blocks?

Lol man you're 4 days late. Thnx anyway
[Android Apps and Games] BabylonDreams:
Yeah, I know, soz.

I'm actually glad that you noticed, it's good to know people keep an eye on our updates :)
[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
Beeing using CloudeFlare Dns since yesterday and noticed surfing is a bit faster i hope it will be included on next version ✌️
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Speaking of DNS, it doesn't look like the app supports IPv6 DNS addresses. Is that something that can be implemented?
[Android Apps and Games] BabylonDreams:
the app actually does support IPv6 DNS addresses, are you sure your network supports it?
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
How do I enter IPv4 & IPv6 addresses in the custom DNS fields?
[Android Apps and Games] BabylonDreams:
Just type or copy-paste them, example:

https://uploads.adguard.com/up05_76d24.jpg

https://uploads.adguard.com/up05_oxmme.jpg

what exactly goes wrong in your case?
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
I mean how do I add both? There isn't a separate place to put them.
[Android Apps and Games] BabylonDreams:
well, you can't add both
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
It sure would be nice to be able to utilize both depending on the network.

T-Mobile is IPv6 only by default around here, but not all Wi-Fi networks I connect to support IPv6. I suppose I could change my APN protocol from IPv6 to IPv4/IPv6 as a workaround.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
It won't make it in the 2.11 release as the branch is finalized, but it'll come in one of the upcoming nightly builds (and in the next release of course).

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

IMO, this is more complicated. We need to let people choose different DNS servers for different networks.

Latest Beta is randomly killing my internet connection.

As soon as I pause it, everything goes back to normal!.

Has anyone else had the same issue?
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
My biggest problem with Adguard (maybe my only problem) is that any time I am transitioning from one connection to another and it doesn't happen really fast (for example, leaving my home or office and am in the driveway/parking lot a moment where the connection is still figuring out what's up) Adguard goes bonkers... crashes over and over and I basically just have to ignore it for 5-10 minutes until it settles down, lol.
[Android Apps and Games] nextheart:
I have ads in this app in spite AdGuard protection. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paolod.torrentsearch2

Please inform how to disable ads in it?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
with Oreo Samsung has allowed us to hide the vpn notification further.

it can't be hidden completely, but when set to lowest priority the icon will be removed from the notification bar and the notification itself will shrink to half its normal size.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
The best way to report issues is via the Send Feedback item in the AdGuard menu. Take a screenshot of the ads in the app before you start.

Adguard for Android 2.11.80 RC

Hi everyone!

Another small fix and a new release candidate is ready!

[Fixed] An option to enforce HTTPS filtering for a Nougat-targeting app #1627

How to get this version

Apk is available here in the Downloads section

Available in XDA Labs app

Github: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/releases/tag/v2.11.80-rc
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
Hi,

Since the Note 8 got Oreo update I notice that I have a new option choice in the VPN settings that said "block connection without a VPN" under the old "VPN always activated" one, but when enabled I can't connect anywhere anymore.

Is it I intended?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
that option is intended for real VPN servers on a remote location.

adguard simulates a VPN on your phone and redirects data to itself.

with a real VPN your connections go over the internet to the VPN, and then the VPN routes them back to the intended location on the internet.

with adguard the connections between your phone and the VPN(adguard) don't leave your phone, so when adguard routes the connection back to the intended target android sees it isn't going to your VPN anymore and blocks it.
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
Just wanted to let you guys know about a pretty handy solution for the https certificate filtering. As some of you may know, many apps don't support user type certificate but only those who are stored in the system. Even with root, at least in my case, Adguard was unable to move the certificate to the system store. Then I found a simple app on Play Store that can install the certificate into the system store that Adguard needs to use so it can filter encrypted https connections through any app that requires system certification. Choose the alternative way of installing the certificate, which simply stores it to the download folder. Then you use the Certificate Manager to import to the system store. Included screenshots to clarify a little bit how it's done. Oh then you need to enable the https filtering for those apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
For some reason I couldn't upload all the images at once, here's the rest.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Actually, this one can be used. The problem is that some apps aren't filtered by AdGuard by default (you can find which exactly in the apps management section of AG). So, when you enable this option, instead of bypassing AdGuard these apps cannot access network anymore.

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

Could you please tell what device & root do you use? We'd better fix this issue on AdGuard's side as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
It doesn't seems working.

Il using AdGuard DNS Crypt servers, but having AdGuard app activated and letting traffic through itself (with ad block option deactivated) did nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
Systemless with Magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Well, there's your issue. Why are you trying to modify the system with systemless root? You can use my Magisk module I created to move the certificate to the system store.
[Android Apps and Games] Ragnar Eldur:
Yeah systemless root can often be a pain in the ass. The only certain way is trough magisk.. Thanks alot for the module I'll try it out.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
Thanks for the update,

Just to let you know that on last versions when using a custom DNS "CloudFlare",i can't access the net on mobile Data but only on Wifi.

PS:Pre-loaded DNS work just fine.

Feel free to ask if you need more info...
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
That's most likely because you're using IPv4 DNS on an IPv6 connection.
[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
No, and it used to work with previous versions.

And as i tell you other DNS provider like Google DNS is working so...??
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
When you said "pre-loaded DNS" I thought you meant default DNS, not other DNS providers.
[Android Apps and Games] Midomad:
So what do you think? could you test a custom DNS like "CloudFlare" 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 ?
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
I already did. My initial response was based on my testing.
[Android Apps and Games] Goku80:
Thisisanfield the app is still seeing ads.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Use the in-app reporting feature.
[Android Apps and Games] Goku80:
Bit disappointed that I raised the issue regarding the ads in the app that I use and the reply I got. I thought the whole point of raising the issue is for the team to allocate and fix the problem. But if anything they asking me to raise it again. I am still going to use adguard but just bit annoyed that when I raised the issue they passed me over to a different section
[Android Apps and Games] LOLFreely:
Last version not support android 8.1 Oreo? i using CRDroid custom rom.

i'm sure for enable HTTPS filtering. it's only show log for detected ads but still see ads. :(

[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Unable to install certificate to system store on Galaxy S9+ (SM-G965F/DS)

I purchased an S9+ at the end of last week and rooted it at the weekend. Pretty much the first app I install on any new Android device is AdGuard, and this device is no different.

Anyway, I installed the AdGuard certificate into the user store as usual, but moving it to the system store isn't working. At least, I don't think it is. Pressing the button results in the message that the certificate has been moved, but AdGuard subsequently continues to report that it's in the user store, and the option to move it remains active.

The device is rooted with the patched Magisk 16.3 that comes with v1.9 of SoLdieR9312's Stock ROM. AdGuard is the latest version, and running in HTTP auto proxy mode, if that make a difference.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Since you're using Magisk, which does not modify /system, you'll want to use my Magisk module.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
You can tell I don't usually use Magisk, can't you? Actually, I knew it was systemless, but I assumed that AdGuard was mounting /system rw in the background.

Thank you very much for your module. It's working like a charm now.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
That's a useful, general purpose module. You should submit it for inclusion in the official Magisk module repo.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Good idea. It's now submitted, but it might be awhile before topjohnwu has some time to deal with the submissions.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Speaking of Magisk, I note that AdGuard on this S9+ is much, much slower starting up under Magisk at boot than it was/is on my S8+ under SuperSU. Both phones are running the same version of AdGuard, and both are running in HTTP auto proxy mode.

Manually starting AdGuard takes about 5 seconds, but on boot, it takes a minute or so after I've entered my 2 PINs before the familiar AdGuard shield appears. I know: "Logs! Logs!" I'll get to it.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
It's been reported before and still happens to me sometimes. You could try setting pref.boot.startup.delay to somewhere between 30 - 120 and see how that goes (AdGuard Settings > Advanced > Low Level Settings).
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Hello! Could you be so kind to test the same actions in another browser?
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Thanks for the link.

Yes, that seems to be exactly what I'm seeing. It's not "sometimes", however, but every time after a reboot.

I just installed new firmware and on the first reboot after that, it took AdGuard more than 5 minutes to go from its "preparing to start" status to operational. Again, I need to produce some logs before anyone can do much to help me.

---------- Post added 25th April 2018 at 00:01 ---------- Previous post was 24th April 2018 at 23:54 ----------

Thinking about this some more, AdGuard should really detect Magisk in this case and modify its behaviour accordingly. When the user opts to move the user cert to the system store, AdGuard could, for example, display a message explaining the systemless nature of Magisk, and offer to download your module.

I came across another app today that behaved in a similar way. When I selected an option that would have written to /system, it offered to download a Magisk module foe me. All I had to do then was install it with Magisk Manager.

At the very least, AdGuard should not give the impression that the cert has been successfully moved, which is what happens at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Can you tell me where did you report the issue? Do you have your request number? And what's the problem excatly you receiving?
[Android Apps and Games] Goku80:
1838973 that's the id number that I have received. In terms of the problem I keep receiving adverts on a football app. It's called thisisanfield. I have tried multiple things and nothing has worked. I have raised it and did the same steps I already did myself only for them to tell me to raise it again which I find a bit of a waste of time. I uninstalled the app now and still use adguard. Just before we raise an issue here and it got sorted.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
As promised, here are the logs taken following a reboot that saw AdGuard take just under 2 minutes to start up.

AdGuard starts at 19:45:09 in adguard.log, but isn't actually operational until 19:47:01. There are multiple significant delays along the way.

This is on a Galaxy S9+ (SM-G935F/DS) running the latest firmware (actually Solder9312's slightly augmented stock ROM) and Magisk 17.0_G96X (as shipped with the ROM), but I saw similar delays with Magisk 16.3, too. Sometimes, it's over 3 minutes before AdGuard is operational.

AdGuard itself is running in auto proxy mode.

I would appreciate you guys looking into this. Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Hi, can anybody tell me how to disable the filter protocol in version 2.11?

It's enabled by default, and I can't disable it anymore.

[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
I just went there to configure the option, and it's already set to 10. If I hit Reset, it stays at 10, so this seems to be the default.

If it is already 10, be so kind to try 15. Then reboot and check.
[Android Apps and Games] Rippuku:
You guys are amazing. I love this app. I orginally had a pirate version for a while but I stuck with this app cause it's just so goddamn good that I went and bought a lifetime version. I just can't get over how cool this app is. It works so well.

Things I wish it could do, though.

-block YouTube ads

-provide their own proxy servers

-give VPNs that change your location

Also - does adgaurd also hide my IP? Like, is all my traffic hidden off the router?

BTW: Why is "googleadservices" marked green (means in whitelist) by default?
[Android Apps and Games] BabylonDreams:

It doesn't really use more RAM and CPU, log only keeps last 500 requests, but since many people are concerned about it we've brought the switch back in the latest nightly.
[Android Apps and Games] Tatsch:
[MENTION=7786584]BabylonDreams[/MENTION] Maybe you better had not warn about the filter protocol in previuos versions ;)...
[Android Apps and Games] BabylonDreams:

[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Do you have the Filter unblocking search ads and self-promotion filter enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
No joy, I'm afraid. After my most recent reboot, AdGuard took more than 3 minutes to start with the above setting.
[Android Apps and Games] Tatsch:
No, it's disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Hello!

Please go to settings-advanced-low-level settings - pref.vpn.disable.pause, pref.boot.startup.delay 5. This will keep your start quick.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
He's using auto proxy mode with root, not the VPN.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Exactly.

And modifying pref.boot.startup.delay does only what the name implies. It delays the launch of AdGuard by N seconds, but from the moment the launch is initiated, it still takes 2 - 3 minutes before AdGuard is operational. So increasing this setting only makes it take longer before the phone is fully operational.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Right, but what does pref.vpn.disable.pause have to do with anything? It's enabled by default, anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] LOLFreely:
yes google chrome and chromium not working to.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Apart from the very slow start-up under Magisk, further questionable behaviour I'm seeing since transferring the AdGuard cert to the system store (using [MENTION=5124760]yochananmarqos[/MENTION]' fine module) is that every app now has HTTPS Filtering unchecked in the App Details screen. When I attempt to check this box for any app (and it really is any app), AdGuard displays a warning:

This is confusing, because the AdGuard certificate is now a system certificate, not a user certificate. Why the warning?

In contrast, when the AdGuard certificate is configured as a user certificate, the warning does not appear.

Isn't this behaviour the exact opposite of what should be happening?
