Is it possible to make an option to disable vpn for particular apps .

I asked it because I'm using xender and shareit (file transfer apps) when vpn is unabled file transfer cannot be done, everytime i need to disable adguard to transfer files.

I contacted the developers of these apps but they are not able to do anything about this
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Could you add mine too please?

[MENTION=4546389]jerryn70[/MENTION] it's under 3-dots > apps management in the latest beta, and available under different names in older versions.

there are options to disable https filtering, regular filtering, and routing for individual apps.

the option for routing is what you want.
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
There's an option to disable Adguard on a per app basis. It's in settings, apps and statistics. Disable route traffic through Adguard. Or something like that...I don't have my phone right now.

Do this for every app you don't want Adguard to monitor.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
I have already disabled the app route filter that you guys said.

I think you guys didn't understand what I said because of poor english.

I mean when vpn connection is enabled file transfer is not possible. Even if I whitelist that particular app .
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Of course, thank you! Just in case, here is an always opened issue on github where we keep track of https exclusions:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/911

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Could you please elaborate on this?

1. How exactly do you use these apps? Share files with what?

2. How does the error look like?

3. Which device and android version do you have?
[Android Apps and Games] kryzeK:
Can I request a minor change on design? Only tint with green the notification background icon like anothers material design apps.

Like in the screenshot.

Thanks you!
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
1. Xender and shareit are file transfering apps from mobile to mobile and mobile to pc. These apps uses wifi / hotspot to make connection and transfer.

2. While adguard vpn is enabled these apps cannot make connection to transfer files. When I disable vpn transfer is working

3. Moto x play stock marshmallow 6.0.1

And is there any way to block pop up ads and vibrating ads ? I mean when i try to download files from some sites my phone start vibrating and a pop up will come like saying your phone is in danger or got virus or maybe install this app to remove virus from your phone etc like pop up and vibrations
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
it's a different matter if they create a hotspot.

recent versions of adguard should be automatically disabled when a hotshot is active, as adguard interferes with tethering.

if you're on the latest beta and this doesn't happen, it's a bug that the devs need to look into.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
How can I run doze app on my phone ? Adguard and Doze app uses vpn . I need both in my phone. Is there any way to make work both of them
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
jerryn70 it's not possible to use 2 vpn apps at the same time, but if you're rooted you can use adguard's automatic proxy mode.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
I suppose the issue is caused by the fact that incoming connections aren't allowed when any VPN is up.

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

Adguard can do just the same as Doze. Settings -> Firewall -> uncheck "Allow mobile when screen is off".
[Android Apps and Games] jawz101:
Unhappy with customer service. I purchased 3 lifetime Android licenses and requested a refund. They said sure but asked me why. I gave them about 10 things I didn't like (bugs/quirks, settings issues, lack of documentation.) They then replaced all of my licenses with 2 lifetime PC licenses yet I don't own a PC. I'm out the money and left with something I can't use.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryn70:
That I know but I didn't find any option to whitelist apps . I need downloader apps to be stay connected when screen is off
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
after changing the global setting you can undo it for individual apps through app management.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Could you please tell me your customer ID so that I could find your ticket? Or you can PM me your email.
[Android Apps and Games] jawz101:
I'd like to thank [MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION]. One thing I'm impressed with is the Adguard team does listen and respond.
[Android Apps and Games] Goku80:
Sofascore app seems not to be working anymore for whatever reason. The only way is to disable Adguard through apps and statistics. Anyway or reason please just out of curiosity
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
I'm permanently subscribed to the beta channel, but my phone still hadn't updated (or offered to update) to the 2.8 beta as of this afternoon, so I had to manually trigger it.

In fact, if I hadn't been catching up with this thread on XDA today, I wouldn't have even known about 2.8.

Perhaps the update mechanism isn't working properly. On the other hand, my filters were bang up to date when I triggered the upgrade to 2.8. It was only Adguard itself that was trailing behind.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
XDA Labs will also let you know when there's a beta or stable release.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
That's true.

I hadn't had much time to read XDA this week, so I probably hadn't started XDA Labs since the update to Adguard a few days ago. If I had used XDA Labs today instead of my laptop to read XDA, I would probably have been alerted about the 2.8 beta.

The issue remains, however, that Adguard itself should have alerted me much sooner.

EDIT: I just fired up XDA Labs on my tablet and was not informed of the new Adguard 2.8 beta version. And now that I think about it, I actually did start XDA Labs on my phone yesterday, and was alerted about one app that needed upgrading, but not Adguard.

So, for whichever reason, that channel isn't working for this particular update, either.

Some questions about https-filtering:

- Why do you have domains of Yandex (e.g. Taxi) and WhatsApp in the whitelist? Do these companies expect this from you?

- Are there only technical and confidential aspects in the whitelist you provide?

edit:

- Why are there domains listed with www as prefix, e.g. "www.paypal.com"

Is this necessary? Why not using "paypal.com"?

Thanks for reply.
[Android Apps and Games] dipole:
Is there anything specific i need to do to use it with root? I'm using auto and local proxy but it's not blocking chrome
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Enable HTTPS filtering.
[Android Apps and Games] dipole:
That was already enabled, still didn't work
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
HTTPS filtering may cause issues with some apps. Mostly with those who use "SSL pinning".

Whatsapp, Yandex.Taxi, Yandex.Drive, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram they all use it. Some handle our attempts to filter HTTPS gently so user is not aware of the issue. Some - don't, so we should exclude either the whole app or certain domains.

Yep, nothing else.

It is not necessary, it's just paypal does not use it. Anyway, I guess you're right, we should strip "www.".

Just in case, if you want any domain to be added to that list, here is an issue on github where we keep track of the ssl exceptions list:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/911

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

There could be two causes for it:

1. You may have a proxy set in your APN settings with a port different from 80 or 443. Please examine your APN settings.

2. Some ads may slip through using IPv6 addresses. The only option to fix it is to block IPv6. To do it go to settings->advanced->low-level settings and enable "pref.proxy.block.ipv6" there.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Just noticed the Adguard notification shade quick toggle. Nice addition!

Quick Question: why do I get lower download speeds when Adguard is enabled? I use the Speedtest.net app, and I get 80Mbps with Adguard disabled and 45Mbps with Adguard enabled. It also starts off at less than 1Mbps for the first few seconds with Adguard enabled whereas when disabled the download speed jumps right up to 80Mbps and stays there.

For what it's worth I'm using VPN with High-speed filtering.
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
I would also like to chime in that the quick settings toggle is perfectly implemented. Well done :)

That's one of my favorite features of Android 7.x+
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Hi [MENTION=4570464]ScOULaris[/MENTION], long time no see:)

We have some sort of compatibility issue with speedtest app:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/741

I am not yet sure what causing it, though. By the time of release we will figure it out.

Temporary solution is to use fast.com, it works as it should.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

Yeah, I love it too:) Finally I was able to turn AG permanent notification completely off.

However, there still could be a problem. When AG pauses protection due to network inactivity, Android may kill it and prevent from starting back. For me it often happens after a phone call. So, for now, we have added a new low-level setting, which makes "paused" notification to be shown. You'll see it in the new beta.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Has there ever been any measurement done to compare the difference in impact on battery consumption between High-speed and high-quality filtering?

High-quality actually reclaims/hides space left behind by filtered-out ads on web pages, right?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
The difference is really tiny. The problem could be in browsing speed, high-quality may slow down page load. Shouldn't be noticeable on fast devices like yours, though.

High-speed also does it. But yes, high-quality does it better, it removes all blocked elements from the page code.

I thought android couldn't keep track of data usage when adguard is active?

for at least the last 3 months my data usage information is fairly accurate, with adguard only being blamed for about 15% of my data usage even though the majority of my data usage is while adguard is active(and definitely filtering the apps with highest data usage)

Hm, same for me, it somehow manages to estimate real data usage. But it does not do it for battery usage though, I see that almost all wi-fi&mobile packets are counted towards Adguard.

Hi guys. First of all, thanks to Adguard team for such as amazing app. I'm still learning to use it, and i have some questions:

1) I use Firewall for only filter some apps, as Tapatalk, Chrome, Ivoox, and other that have some adds. Has sense to filter other apps, as Google Play Store, Whatsapp, etc....?

2) I use High Speed filter method... Is there any important diference in performance, battery saving..., of high quality and simplified methods? ANSWERED

3) Do you suggest to enable "Filter DNS requests"? ANSWERED

4) For Youtube adds on embedded videos... is enough with my configuration?

5) Better settings for battery saving and data usage?

Edit: my mobile phone is not rooted

Thanks again

Adguard Premium to block ads in YouTube app. HTTPS in browsers. But the YouTube missed ads is still an ongoing issue. Adguard can filter some but not all.

Don't use Adguard on apps that do not transfer data, to and from. Adguard is not the reason for battery drain and data consumption. There will be some but the reason it's on top of the charts is because every traffic that goes in and out of your phone goes through Adguard. Android sees this activity and labels that as Adguard's fault.

To Root or not?

Hi,

What is the difference between running AG on a rooted vs non-rooted device? I use HTTP Proxy setting (as VPN setting seems to really drain my battery) - does root just automatically set up settings and nothing else? Or does it provide another benefit?

I ask as i am currently rooted on sam s6 but want to upgrade to 5.1.1 but I will lose root and was wondering whether it was worth re-rooting or not?

Many thanks in advance.

Neil
[Android Apps and Games] Alex302:
Hi

When device is rooted, AG can automatically set proxy settings. If not rooted, you must manually set up proxy in WiFi/AP settings.

You can use VPN mode if you don't want root device and manually change network setting.

You can read more about these modes in AG FAQ.
[Android Apps and Games] padawan_lp:
Hello,

I just Installed AG on my computer and cellphone. I'm seriously thinking about buying it.

I installed the beta version on my phone. I'm having a problems trying to update apps, they never start downloading or they get stuck at 2 or 3%. They download fine if I disable AG.

It is also blocking downloads in Popcorntime app.

Do you know what can be causing this?

Thanks.

Hi Daria, really nice app, well done!

I enjoyed the free version without probs until I requested a premium trial key and also switched to the latest beta.

Now my streaming music app Cambridge Connect partially fails. It won't allow to control the volume of my player anymore by using the phone's volume keys. The app operates through wifi.

I switched back to the current version 1.1.888 and the problem is now gone.

FYI, I tried a bunch of settings in adguard beta like only do browser filtering but none of them made any difference.

Any ideas what might cause this?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] adrianblp:
I tried AdBlock for Android before and it required a proxy setup and everything, and was just really bothersome. Seems there's a proxy here too, but at least easier to install :o
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
In the latest beta you can disable ad blocking on per-app basis (it is done in Firewall settings).

Could you please try it?

Do you mean that you've already tried disabling ad blocking for that app?

If so I have one question: what kernel version do you have?
[Android Apps and Games] blackspp:
Filter adds on that app works but you need to have the premium version for that. So I just asked for a new trial version and yes, that works indeed!

Thanks I'll monitor working of the audio app, anything odd I'll let you know.

I'm considering the premium version btw but I find your pricing schema a bit steep compared to many other professional apps. I have to think about that :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Sent you a license key in PM, thank you!

But what with the kernel version? There was an important change in 2.0, local network exclusion was disabled for 3.10 kernel. So it may be the answer why it works with Adguard 1.1.

I believe that's why it does not work. It seems we should review the code and enable LAN exclusion for 3.10 kernels.
