If you touch and hold the notification, you'll have the choice to block Adguard notification. That's the method at Android 7. Don't know if it's something different at Android 8.
[Android Apps and Games] kojak1989:
Yes, there is a difference because I did so right away and nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] Je5hu4ver:
Does it actually work? Because I dont expect that to work without a root, unless it is its own browser.

If it acts like a proxy... ill try it. :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] hasan4791:
It has 2 modes....local vpn mode and proxy mode... Former one doesn't require root to work whereas the later one requires root.. Both does the same job except the fact that local vpn mode wont work when usb tethering or WiFi hotspot is enabled... I would recommend this app for like 100% and my one year subscription gonna end in December.... I'll wait for Christmas or new year offer to get some discounts to buy lifetime subscription...

In recent update this app got dns encryption also which is a great add on I would say... Overall 5 star app

Edit: Also recent update gave an option to use tor proxy along with thie Adguard... Just Amazing isn't it...?
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
You could try sending them a PM here on XDA. I did a year or so ago and [MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION] hooked me up with a great discount coupon code. ;)

I wasn't even asking for it. I only inquired if they had any upcoming sale for the lifetime subscription.

Top notch customer service.

I was thinking of installing this and maybe purchasing the full license for my Android Kodi box. Would this work there? I emailed support but never heard back and did not see any posts about it. I would think as long as its Android, it would work fine, but just want to make sure. Also my Kodi DOES use OpenVPN, but with Proxy mode AdGuard should still work fine right?
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
[MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION] , if we use High Quality Filter VPN without any DNS setting (completely off), does it make any sense to use Simplified Domain Name Filter ? or we are just adding extra load without any benefit ?

My other filters are English, Social, Spy, Announce, Russian & Mobile Ads

I will buy.lifetime if we ever we can hide the VPN symbol and notification
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
It's an Android limitation, AdGuard can't do anything about it.
[Android Apps and Games] guaneet:
You can try this app to hide it

[Android Apps and Games] stefan_city:
You can hide the notification, blocking Adguard notifications.

But, as i know, you can't do anything about the symbol.

[Android Apps and Games] araditsas:
You can not just
[Android Apps and Games] bill10:
Huh? Can you hide the notifications or not? I just reinstalled it and am trying to hide it
[Android Apps and Games] 0.0:
If you go into the App's info (Settings > Applications > Adguard), you should have an option to block the notification. Not sure how it will affect the performance of Adguard, but I didn't notice it being affected when I did it on Nougat and Oreo
[Android Apps and Games] stefan_city:
If you're on Nougat, just tap and hold the notification and you'll have the option to hide it.

In other way, as [MENTION=2281583]0.0[/MENTION] said.

On Oreo, as i have read there is problem.
[Android Apps and Games] araditsas:
In 8 and in samsung NOTE 8 I have no hiding

In Nugat he can erase just as your friend has told you shortly before

Nougat yes.

Oreo no.

this notification is not the adguard is from oreo's application system.
[Android Apps and Games] bill10:
Well I'm at a loss because I can't hide it. Thanks anyway for trying
[Android Apps and Games] Mkkxda:
I love Adguard, so i've bought a lifetime license. I was using last version with default settings. I don't need extra functions (HTTPS filter, DNS, CryptDns...) and i only need to block ads in Chrome and in a few apps. Unfortunately, i've found that drain battery in my P9 is a lot heavier than others free VPN solutions, as DNS66. Obviously, Adguard it's a more powerful program, but i'm wondering if there is a lighter version of Adguard or any tweaked configuration for a minimum RAM usage and battery drainage. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] hasan4791:
Basically Adguard isn't consuming more power.. May be in system battery usage it shows high due to the fact that it running always but if you dig deeper its really low... Im using it for a year amd haven't faced any such issues..

---------- Post added at 03:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 AM ----------

Lol... Don't be a loser buddy... Infact i like the notification icon.. Its really cool though.. If you want the features, you could compromise here nd there... The reason why the notification has been kept persistent is to save the Adguard alive without being killed by Android system...
[Android Apps and Games] 0.0:
Oh! You're talking about the persistent Android System notification. I was thinking of the Adguard notification itself. In Oreo, I know of the persistent notification for background apps. I was talking about hiding the notification stating Adguard is running or whatever it says.

To hide the persistent one, just use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iboalali.sysnotifsnooze
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
There's weird bug in this version, if we clear Adgurd HTTPS certificate by mistake there's no was it get installed again without clearing app data.

Simple Enabling HTTPs again show certificate installed but HTTPS doesn't turn on , it just goes back to off after toast notification of install .

Manually Adguard doesn't put certificate in download folder at all, also there's no permissions to give to ad-guard (like storage access) , section is just greyout in Android settings like with the app that only requires default permissions and no extra.

Android 7.1.2

I'd like to take a look one more time at your debug-level logs AND logcat logs recorded at the same time.

It'd be better to record all that right after the device reboot.

I feel there should be something there.

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

When you uninstall an app and install it again, AG generates a new unique certificate, that's why you need to set it up again.

What for the leftover certificate, AG does not have enough permissions to remove it.

Hm, not that there were external tests to check that you use DNSCrypt.

As a test, you can block outgoing traffic to port 53 to verify, that there are no more plain DNS requests.

It makes sense to use it on mobile. I would never advise to use it for blocking websites ads, but it's "roughness" is actually good for bashing in-app trackers/ads.

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

Root + proxy mode is the only option. On Samsung devices, the key icon is even more annoying as they didn't follow stock Android and made it bigger and placed to the top-left corner instead of the top-right

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

Are you sure it really drains anything? In v2.10 we've added an "own battery usage" screen so that people could check if there's any misbehavior. What numbers does it show in your case?
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
So what happens when both,

Normal filters as well as Simplified Domain Filer (without turning on dns filtering) are turned on ?

Which one takes priority & how does it affects blocking & performance ?

Also, have you guys checked slow connect speed on 2.10.108

which i reported a week ago ?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
The rules priority does not depend on the filters order. All the rules from all enabled filters are compiled into a single filtering index.

Regarding performance, it's +13k rules, so it'll take a few more MB RAM.

There is a confirmed issue with initial startup when you're on proxy+auto mode. It's your case, right?

It will be fixed in the next minor update.

[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Yeah, we do it on Nougat+. Auto-pause is not a "feature", it is a workaround to avoid issues with Android messing up VPN tunnel on network change. It is no more required starting from Nougat.

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

There is a difference in startup time -- it takes more time to initialize the filtering engine now, but it's not that huge (x2.5). The bright side is that the new engine works much faster than the old one.
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
Sorry i didn't get what you mean by startup time,

is is application start time ? (if it's , i have no problem with that)

i'm talking about each web page connecting time ? (time that we request a web page then web page starts to send data)

I think this time is noticeably slower on 2.10 compared to 2.9

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

also while i was searching for certificate issue , i found on adgurd forum that many users prefer proxy mode over VPN mode, is there any other good reason to consider proxy more than obvious need to use proxy ?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Hm, i misunderstood you then. We tested it on different test devices and cannot confirm it, there's no change with it. Have you compared them with similar default settings?

No key icon, ability to work along with VPN apps.
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
yes i did some checking though i haven't exactly compared time to load, 2.9 seemed little faster than 2.10 on webpages i checked i.e XDA, Adgurd forum & some 2-3 other site.

I felt there's little pause on 2.10 before connect.

I'm using Nexus 5, if you guys have some not so latest device please compare this on two versions , i think you guys are more experienced to compare things like this than me, you will get exact scenario if issue is there or not.

Good day

Every time I disconnect the vpn through the notification shade. It reconnects automatically, and I have to disable it until it stops reconnecting. Then if I switch from WiFi to data or vice versa the vpn would start again. I think adgaurd doesn't play well with Samsung cause I have a note 8. But this bug have been happening since the s7e
[Android Apps and Games] Krizzii:
I'm experiencing the same slow loading pages with the new version. Sometimes images will load after a long pause. I dasabled the new DNS feature for testing, maybe this will help.
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
I'm not using any kind of DNS filtering or DNS Filter and it's still there :(
[Android Apps and Games] californicated:
Does the filter protocol really pick off every of my phones connections? I've tried to reproduce the news about OnePlus collecting data for analytics, but open.oneplus.net doesn't appear in the log. This means either my OP5 is clean or I simply can't log it using AdGuard.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Here's a debug level log captured while the wi-fi was disabled, then turned on, and the device joined my home network; which is the only network where the DNS servers configured in AdGuard are not honoured.

It wasn't captured just after a reboot, but I hope it turns up something useful. If not, I'll reboot and do another capture, and provide a logcat as well.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Actually, this is by design. We need this to automatically reconnect when you start another VPN app and then disconnect it.

The problem is that from AG side revoking VPN by another app or by disconnecting it manually via notification looks absolutely similar, and we cannot distinguish them.

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

Do you have DNS filtering enabled? In theory, even if the app is not routed through VPN, you should see a DNS request for that domain in the filtering log.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Could you please try this build?

https://uploads.adguard.com/up04_vqefj_adguard_2.10.136.apk

We've changed the initialization a bit, it should help.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

I will keep an eye on all the similar complaints. Anyways, the situation will greatly change in the following updates as we're in process of replacing the old filtering engine with a new cross-platform one.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Yes, that fixes it!

I'm curious, though. Why was this a problem on only some wi-fi networks?

I do have one other comment for you. The AdGuard DNS check page is slow to recognise changes made to the AdGuard DNS configuration, telling me that I am using AdGuard DNS when I have already switched it off or switched to a different DNS provider, and telling me that I am not using AdGuard DNS when I know that I am.

I thought this was probably related to DNS record TTLs, but IPLeak's DNS check page does immediately recognise and reflect any changes made to the AdGuard DNS configuration. Perhaps you can make your own page more rapidly reflect changes made to AdGuard's DNS config, as the false reports initially made me think that the test build you sent me wasn't working. The lag makes troubleshooting unreliable.

May I finish by thanking you for the absolutely sterling service you provide. The 6 lifetime licences I have so far purchased for my family's Android devices are probably the best value for money and most appreciated app purchases that I have ever made. We love your product and the fact that you support it so well serves only to make it an even greater pleasure to use.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Thank you for confirming it!

The problem is that we now apply "pref.ipv4.routes.excluded" setting in the proxy mode -- excluding LAN from filtering. The problem is that the DNS server could be in LAN as well.

Chrome has it's own DNS cache and it may be responsible for this:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardDNS/issues/195
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Yes indeed, but I was also refreshing the IPLeaks page from a different tab of the same Chrome, and it was refreshing with the correct data, whilst the AdGuard page was lagging behind somewhat.

Possibly they have some magic in their page or on the server side that forces the data to be refreshed, regardless of what's in the cache. I think they're using WebRTC for everything. Could that be the reason?

---------- Post added at 14:18 ---------- Previous post was at 14:13 ----------

Incidentally, it would be useful to be able to use Tasker to select from different AdGuard DNS profiles.

When I'm at home, I typically want to use the DNS servers that my router hands out over DHCP. As soon as I leave the house, however, I would like to switch over to a different set of servers.

This is because the DNS servers I use from home limit my access to a single IP address, so I can't access them when I leave the house.

I checked the Filtering Log and it was full of AdGuard connections to e.crashlytics.com, and something else. The connections were being made at least a few times a second. I cleared the AdGuard cache, we'll see if it happens again.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Can't reproduce, what exact version of AdGuard do you have?

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

This is actually a popular feature request, so we may add it as a feature to the DNS filtering module.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

This is an expected behavior. e.crashlytics.com is often used for reporting different "events" inside of an app (tracking, basically). Every blocked request is repeated 8 times (trying every IP resolved for this domain name), that's why it floods the filtering log. So, for every "event" the app tries to track, there're 8 records in the filtering log, and apps usually track more than one event.

[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:

[Android Apps and Games] ad78:
i wasted almost a day figuring it out why my hotspot is not working! this is really bad.. it turns out the adguard preventing the laptop.. im getting limited status all day! the moment i disabled adguard my computer connects!
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Yep, true, this is Android own restriction. Any VPN prevents hotspot from working. In fact it is more than this, Android restricts all incoming connections.

Also Adguard should have detected it and show a notification about this. If in your case there was no notification then it's probably our mistake and I'd like to know more about the situation (which android version and how is your computer connected to the phone - cable or bluetooth).

[MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION]: Ever thought of an option, doing the magic over Xposed-Framework? Sure, not everyone has it - neither does everyone have root-access :).

Just thought to mention it here. This would be an awesome method to get hotspots working & maybe filtering ads in some apps would be a bit easier.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
If you have root access, you can simply switch Adguard's filtering mode from VPN to "Proxy" with automatic setup.

No problem with hotspots in this mode:)
[Android Apps and Games] MickyFoley:
[MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION]: Sure, but I simply thought: With Xposed, you can do more things than with VPN ever will be possible. So developing a plugin & an option for it, would be great. Root is fine - no doubt. I'm sure, you know Lucky Patcher from Chelpus and what is possible to do :). I'm happy with VPN & Lifetime Membership, but... well: I think, there is more :D, more doable with Xposed too.
