[MENTION=1007681]DiGWeeD2[/MENTION] btw, what's your device? It seems that the issue is specific to Samsung devices.

With default settings -- yes. The other option would be to enable "Filter DNS requests", it will block google ads even if you disable AG for play services.

[MENTION=4178384]oile[/MENTION] [MENTION=1007681]DiGWeeD2[/MENTION]

Temporary solution: disable AG for the "Google Account Manager" app and enable "Filter DNS requests" in Adguard's advanced settings.

---------- Post added at 05:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------

An update on slickdeals.net. This website uses the ad reinjection code. In order to handle it, you need to enable HTTPS filtering in Adguard.

---------- Post added at 05:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 AM ----------

Once the issue happens next time, record Adguard's debug log as it is explained here: https://kb.adguard.com/en/android/solving-problems/log

That is Android restriction. Tethering is blocked if VPN is enabled. Android devs claim that this is done for security reasons, but for me it looks like they simply cannot setup routes properly.

We can't yet block ads in Youtube because these ads are loaded through HTTPS and we can't yet filter it.

[Android Apps and Games] hedgeh:
what's the difference between this and adaway?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
adaway works through a completely different method.

adaway doesn't actually filter anything, it adds commonly used ad domains to a list of domains that need to be redirected.

Android then uses this list to redirect traffic nowhere, but through code that isn't optimized to handle large lists.

to edit list it needs root access, and it can't just be turned on/off.

if internet where a road, adaway would act like a guy putting up detour signs causing unwanted traffic to get lost.

adguard intercepts all outgoing internet requests, and can block requests for individual files.

this lets adguard filter ads even if they originate from the same server as content you do want to see.

additionally it makes use of existing redirection methods(VPN or proxy), allowing it to run without root access.

root is only needed for automatic configuration using proxy mode, without root it will work using VPN or a manually configured proxy.

if internet where a road, adguard would act as a customs agent at the border who intercepts any unwanted content.

at this point neither is perfect, but with version 3 adguard should block a lot more ads and have a lot less false positives than "hosts file updaters" like adaway.

[Android Apps and Games] csstamatin:
I have a security question. Can any of the filtered traffic be seen, either by u guys or a third party? Works good so far, this is my only concern. Thx
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
while adguard uses either a vpn or a proxy server to filter the data, the actual server is running on your phone.

so no data is sent to adguard except for what's required for licensing and updates.

Hi - a few more bugs to report.

Adguard free - unrooted Moto G 5.0.2 - blocking simplified. I've been testing leaving the VPN always on rather than starting/stopping with intent - notification disabled.

1) Every morning at 9am BST I get a 'Critical Error' notification from Adguard. Can't expand it, clicking it just opens the Adguard interface and everything seems to be working OK. The VPN is still on, Chrome is still be cleaned of ads.

2) It appears the always on VPN interferes with Google Play operation. Some app updates stall indefinitely, and I've had a Google Play Services crash (I think this was during a silent Play Services update). Disable the VPN and restart the Google Play app and it all goes smoothly again.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
1) Have you tried the latest beta version of Adguard? This bug is fixed there. The beta is pretty stable so there should be no problem if you update.

2) This is an old Google Play bug, something goes wrong with how it does caching when VPN is enabled.

To fix this: update Google Play AND Google Play Services. I don't remember now the proper version numbers, something like 5.8.11 for Google Play and 8.1.14 for Google Play Services.
[Android Apps and Games] x2bool:
This is why I love Android. You can do all sorts of crazy things with it. Didn't even know that it was possible to intercept and filter user traffic. Great app.
[Android Apps and Games] deesugar:
Just wanted to say Adguard is one of the best and most useful apps I've put on my phone in a while. Works really good!

If it's reducing data usage by blocking ads then for some people like me who don't have unlimited data plans it could be saving us $$$

[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Revoke Adguard license on their website for the phone you are no longer using. And yes, each license has a maximum number of activations at a time. Like for example, it has 2. Then you can only use Adguard on two devices at once.

[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
What device do you use?

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Two possible reasons.

1. DNS filtering. If a connection was blocked on the DNS level, it would be attributed to the "DNS" meta app in AG stats. The problem with DNS is that we cannot figure out what exact app has caused the DNS request.

2. Google ads. Google's ads metadata is loaded by the "Google Play services" app. Other apps just "request" it from the GPS.

Some new info on the issue. First of all, it should be enough to turn airplane mode on and off again to resolve it.

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

My bet is that ads go through due to IPv6 which is not covered by the proxy mode.

Solutions:

1. Switch to the VPN mode.

2. Disable IPv6 (advanced settings -> low-level -> pref.root.ipv6.block)
[Android Apps and Games] hasan4791:
There is no option like pref.root.ipv6.block available.

In VPN mode it works perfectly in both Data & Wifi network....but the main issue is when i enable hotspot or while using ShareIt, I have to disable the VPN...and In proxy mode ad pop up again...the app in the screenshot is Naptime app....Please let me know incase any workaround feasible for this issue.

BTW please ignore the battery stats issue...(its solved after reboot)
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
My bad, the flag name is pref.proxy.block.ipv6
[Android Apps and Games] hasan4791:
That helps...btw proxy mode breaks VOLTE option :(... the moment i enable it, volte disappears and i could able to enable it back...Needed a complete reboot to fix..

Edit: ahaa gotchaa whats happening.....pref.proxy.block.ipv6 is the culprit....when i enable this flag, it breaks VOLTE option...need to play safe...is there not any way that i can't block ads in some apps using proxy mode...usually when you have root privilege you can do anything but this limitation breaks my heart :'(
[Android Apps and Games] NH3:

[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Is it still recommended that we add Adguard to the Doze exemptions in Nougat?
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
I never did. Doze doesn't kill off Adguard for me, just kept Adguard in the notification without icon.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
I think it gets killed when you use the No Notification option unless you exempt it from Battery Optimization.
[Android Apps and Games] fddm:
Adblock Plus for Android is a dead project and unfortunately never worked very well. There's also the more recent AdClear if your looking for alternatives, uses a VPN so it doesn't require root like AdBlock. AdGuard is the best imo, it's got all the features of the other blockers and more, you won't find another blocker this versatile and mature.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Yeah, blocking IPv6 is quite a rough solution for that kind of problem. We might come up with something better eventually.

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Hm, I've tried it with no notification and it was not killed by Doze. It seems that the VPN key icon makes it "foreground" just like the regular icon does. At least it is true on my pixel device, pretty sure it might be different on other firmware.
[Android Apps and Games] hasan4791:
These days new Operators are laying their network with ipv6 too... Thought ipv6 is yet to get implemented in real world but it has come... Also one more suggestion, it would be great if the ipv6 block option is implemented for individual app traffif than the overall traffic.

Thank you guyz.. Waiting fa the update..
[Android Apps and Games] hasan4791:
Edit: found a workaround for this one. In the APN settings after changing the ip configuration to ipv4 only with proxy mode ads are getting blocked and volte is also working fine.

[Android Apps and Games] ewokuk:
Seem to have a problem with adguard not blocking ads in apps in the secure folder. Not sure why this would be, surely apps in the secure folder have to use the same internet connection as the rest of the phone, so it would also have to use the vpn connection that is active outside of the secure folder?? I tested it on "Happn", ads are blocked on the install outside secure folder but not blocked at all on the one inside.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
the whole point of the secure folder is that apps can't interact with each other.

it might work if you copy adguard to the secure folder, but that might have some unwanted side effects
[Android Apps and Games] ewokuk:
No it isn't, the point of the secure folder is that it's a secure folder, you need to use separate access to get into it (that you don't want other people to be able to get to if they get your phone and it is unlocked), it has nothing to do with apps interacting with each other. Adguard sets up a vpn, that vpn is your connection to the internet, it monitors that vpn and blocks the ads? Anything in the secure folder must surely still use that same internet connection. Is this a bug or something impossible for adguard to block?

I don't know if installing adguard inside the secure folder would work or not but I don't want it running twice and using up double the battery (which is why I either have apps inside the folder or outside the folder but never both, I don't want double the battery drain).
