Hi, I have noticed that only my English filter has been getting updates for the past 2 days. Both the spyware and mobile ads filter have not updated since the 5th. Around mid-day I believe. Just wondering if this is normal or if it's a bug since normally they all seem updated every day. I searched online to try and find latest version #s of all your filters but this info does not seem to be available anywhere.

Using AG for Android premium (Beta) BTW and everyrhing as always worked great since day 1... Keep up the good work and thanks
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Of course, what I mean is that YT ad blocking is possible in both SSL filtering modes (blacklist and whitelist).

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

So, could you please record AG log for me?

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

I meant the app, not domain.

Go to HTTPS filtering, open "https exceptions list" and add Google+ app package name there.

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

That's intentional. You see, to apply this change VPN must be restarted.

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

Nice, thank you for checking it:) Anyway, we should fix the bug, but I am glad that at least we've found a temporary solution.

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

That does not mean you're not receiving updates, it's just some filters are updated less frequently.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
I understand. I was confused when you wrote "It should be enough to simply turn of SSL filtering". Your "of" was intended as "on", but i read it as "off". [emoji6]

Still getting ads in YouTube while playing videos

[MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION] First of all want to thank you guys for this great app :highfive:

Now for the issue, I am still getting ads in YouTube while playing videos (the ad is playing in the beginning of the video) even after enabling the https filtering. The ads which I am referring to are the ads which YouTube play while starting up a video. I have tried clearing the cache of YouTube as well but the result is same.

Is there any other setting I need to change other than enabling https filtering for YouTube?

Attached is a screenshot for reference.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Do you even have Adguard enabled in that picture? I don't see the VPN key icon in your status bar.
[Android Apps and Games] rajib4:
Don't bother about the vpn key icon bro ;) MIUI (based on android obviously) doesn't show the vpn icon on the status bar. Anyways attaching few screenshots to show that the vpn and the adguard is running on the background. Now, to clear few things the adguard app is working as it should on my Mi 3 except in the YouTube app.

Cheers :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
HTTPS filtering should be enough. However, YT ads may be served differently, it is possible that we didn't cover all the ways.

Could you please collect it using this instruction and PM me the whole file?

https://kb.adguard.com/index.php?/K.../collecting-a-full-log-on-adguard-for-android

I'll also need to know some details to analyze it:

1. How many videos have you opened while recording the log

2. Which of these videos were preceded by an ad
[Android Apps and Games] Mayday_XL:
Proxy and VPN (wifi).

*** Mayday@Nexus 6P ***
[Android Apps and Games] rajib4:
Thanks for looking into the matter :good:

I have PMed you the log and the details you wanted. Do let me know if you need any other log or anything for that matter to resolve the issue.

Cheers :cool:

---------- Post added at 07:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 AM ----------

@avatar_adg Hold on for a while on the YouTube ad issue. In one of my last posts I mentioned that I have cleared the cache for YouTube app. After sending you the logs I just thought of clearing up the data as well for the YouTube app. After clearing the data for YouTube I haven't got a single ad till now, played at least 10 videos but till now no ad popped up.

So, it seems like clearing data for YouTube did the trick. If at all it resurfaces I will let you know.

Thanks again for the support.

Cheers :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Got it. So it seems that apkmirror.com is just not filtered.

I see two possibilities:

1. Browser uses some non-standard protocol like QUIC (working over UDP)

2. The whole page is loaded from browser cache (very unlikely)

Please try opening chrome://flags page (as i remember boat browser is based on chromium so this should work).

Find #enable-quic on that page and turn it off.

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

Great, thank you!

Meanwhile I've taken a look at the log you've sent. The problem is that I just do not see requests for video metadata. Usually ads metadata is passed along with it. I guess YT app does some aggressive caching and some of the video & ads metadata is stored in the app data.
[Android Apps and Games] rajib4:
Hmmm... That is quite possible :D May be that's why clearing the app data cleared up the ads as well (hopefully it will not resurface :fingers-crossed: )...

So, for the moment it seems the solution is to clear the YT data in scenarios like this.

Cheers and keep up the great work :good:
[Android Apps and Games] funcritter:
I'm using Adguard on three phones with no problems EXCEPT with MSN News and MSN money. MSN News simply will not connect to their server and MSN Money will not load any news once you get past the home screen.

These two apps work perfectly once I turn off Adguard. Can someone look into this please? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Which exact version of AG do you use?
[Android Apps and Games] funcritter:
2.1.359
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Bug is confirmed, thank you!

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/443

Temporary solution: turn off ad filtering for both apps. You can do it in AG Firewall.

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

Found an issue. It appears that this is not a program bug, just too wide ad blocking.

Please check filter updates in an hour or so, problem will be solved in the new filter version.
[Android Apps and Games] Mayday_XL:
I have the same problem with ads in apps, with proxy and mobile is everything fine, but not with wifi.

I am back to VPN.

*** Mayday@Nexus 6P ***
[Android Apps and Games] funcritter:
Thank you, those apps have started working now. This app is now perfection for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Mayday_XL:
Its the same in Chrome, or Habit Browser with proxy and wifi. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Have you tried switching QUIC settings?

I just think that this is some network-level issue, but I can't yet figure out the actual cause. So the only thing we can do now is to check some random ideas:(
[Android Apps and Games] Dyn4myT:
Hi,

Just two things I found with adguard 2.5.70 beta

1. I cannot send any feedback within the app, I get the toast message "a error is occured.."

2. When enable, I cannot play or download any podcast, no matter what podcast app I try.

Thank you

[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
I meant turning off QUIC protocol in chrome://flags, but since you have ads in apps the problem is not in it.

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 AM ----------

First issue is fixed in the new beta (2.5.123).

I need more details on the second issue:

1. How does the error look like?

2. Which podcast apps have you tried?

3. Does it help to turn off ad filtering for that podcast app?

4. Which exact podcast have you tried? Could it be that you've tried the same podcast in all that apps?
[Android Apps and Games] rootuser11:
Come on please add the feature of automatically disabling vpn when tethering is enabled. I was told that this feature will be implemented in 2.5 but i want it now even in betas please.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Very nice update. Turning off Adguard when Battery Saver is on was a nice choice, and that new Anti-Adblock feature is the hotness.
[Android Apps and Games] Skuggo:
Super nice. Is there going to be a swedish filter at some point?
[Android Apps and Games] stuart0001:
2nd day trying this and app. Loving it so far but just came across my 1st issue.

In chrome, the login button on this page doesn't work. If I disable AG it's ok.

On 2.5.123

[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
It is done in the latest beta version, seems I forgot to mention it:)

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

We don't maintain a special swedish filter, just not enough user feedback for this.

So, currently if you see an ad just report it to us and we'll fix it in the English filter:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/ExperimentalFilter/issues

Btw, if you know any good open source swedish adblock filter we may add it to AG.

---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

I need to know more about your configuration:

1. Which filters do you use?

2. Do you use HTTPS filtering?

3. Login button just does nothing or you see some error after pushing it?
[Android Apps and Games] Skuggo:
Oh awesome. I'll keep my eye out for it thanks alot! :D Really appreciate the quick answer and the great app.
[Android Apps and Games] stuart0001:
All as installed default

No

Does nothing

[Android Apps and Games] AndrasLOHF:
I can't get Google ads to work from a search.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
You mean click is blocked?
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Super. Thank you very much.

Can you please tell me how to revert to the supplied HTTPS Filtering Apps Exceptions List? I added a few things to mine, but now you've updated the one supplied with the package, so I want to merge my entries with the new one.

The same thing applies to the Whitelist. Are the default lists on-line somewhere?

Cheers,

Ian
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Yeah, no "reset" button available yet:(

We'll duplicate these settings in the "Low-level settings" section so that you could reset lists from there.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
That would be great. Thanks.

In the meantime, can you maybe post both of the current lists from the new beta as attachments here?

Thanks,

Ian
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Done
[Android Apps and Games] AndrasLOHF:
Yes
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Thanks, but are you sure that's the newest apps exception list? I don't see, for example, SongPop 2, which I reported against the previous beta and, according to the release notes, was added in this beta.

Or maybe you fixed this app with actual code somewhere?

Cheers,

Ian
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Oh, that won't be easy to do as the whole googleadservices.com domain is blocked.

I've created an issue that should solve this for the cases when HTTPS filtering is enabled:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/459

But it is not an easy task so it is planned on v6.

Temporary solution: add this rule to your user filter:

@@||googleadservices.com

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

When it's possible we prefer to turn off not for the whole app, but for specific domains.

In case of SongPop 2 these domains were enough:

megapop-prod.appspot.com

wam-mobile.appspot.com
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
I see. Thanks.

Speaking of turning off the whole app, I reported to you last time the case of Facebook Lite, which wouldn't start until I added it to the exceptions list.

As of this beta, you've put it on that list by default. Cool, but...

I have noticed on multiple devices that it's only necessary to do this the first time the app is run with Adguard. If you then take it off the exceptions list again, it continues to work perfectly.

How can this be?

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

By the way, SongPop 2 still generates certificate warnings for me on the new beta. I just tested it.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
When domain can't be filtered we add it to a temporary exceptions list. This is what happens to Facebook app, first request to fails but all following requests are ok as domain is in temporary exceptions. The whole app is added to exceptions just to prevent the first request failure.

Even with a new whitelist? I've reopened that issue:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/395
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Yes, I think so. I erased everything in the old one and pasted in the contents of the new one from your attachment.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Then I guess we've missed something, thank you for checking it!
[Android Apps and Games] exodius48:
[MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION] seems my problem has been fixed, when you upload new update?
[Android Apps and Games] AndrasLOHF:
Anyone else getting high mobile active radio drain.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
that screen shows total usage by all apps while adguard is running, not just what's used by adguard itself.

so it's normal if it shows high usage there.
[Android Apps and Games] Mayday_XL:
[MENTION=837035]avst[/MENTION]ar_adg

What is PAC-URL?

*** Mayday@Nexus 6P ***
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
it's a web address for a proxy configurations file, which adguard doesn't use.

if you want to use proxy-based filtering without root you need to set the option above it to "manual".

for vpn-based filtering or when you have root you need to set it to "none".
[Android Apps and Games] Mayday_XL:
Ok, but proxy with root did not work.

[Android Apps and Games] stuart0001:
Is there an explanation for what all the stats in firewall tab app list mean? (ie various %s & saved etc)

Also, is this right for Play Music. I don't normally see any ads without filtering & that ads blocked stat seems crazy high.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
This week we'll push one more update.

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

Bandwidth saved is an estimate, depends on the type of requests blocked.

App traffic is real app traffic, what was downloaded from a remote server.

Play Music sometimes goes mad and repeats ad requests hundreds of times. This happens randomly and there is no easy way to reproduce this so I still don't know what causes such behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] Crxsenate:
Will paid service block ads on apps like pandora
[Android Apps and Games] stuart0001:
OK thanks. I think that was causing me excessive battery drain but can't be certain. I don't see ads in Play Music anyway so will turn off filtering for that in the firewall settings. Might be worth excluding by default because I don't think it has any ads anyway, but I could be wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Just try the trial period and see it for yourself:)

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

It's true that it does not have any ads, but it still sends tons of tracking requests.

[MENTION=7346392]rohitsabu[/MENTION]

Finally we have tested AG and Android N, sorry for the delay.

This issue is confirmed, but the cause of this issue is not Android N itself, but the Chrome build used in it. It seems that this build does not trust user certificates hence ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID is thrown. It seems that this issue exists in that build only.

We've installed Chrome Dev and Chrome Beta on the same device and both work good and trust AG certificate.
[Android Apps and Games] rohitsabu:
Hey thanks a lot for getting back to me on this. Will try Chrome beta. But that doesn't explain why AG doesn't work on the YouTube app right? Or will simply installing chrome beta fix that too?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
did you try clearing youtube's data and cache?

supposedly it keeps ads cached, so they may have been downloaded before you activated adguard.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
No, it won't. I'll see what's wrong with YT and return here with result.

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

It seems that YT app build is also different in Android N, so it's not that easy.
[Android Apps and Games] Dexter_prog:
Hey there, I was the one that reported a while ago problems when sending videos thru whatsapp. Now I'm on the beta (happens on the stable version as well) and every time I send a voice note, it fails to upload and I have to retry for it to go thru. I disabled firewall for Whatsapp but didn't help. Could it be the app causing it?
[Android Apps and Games] rajib4:
I believe it's an old WhatsApp issue. I sometimes used to get this problem earlier and that time I didn't even know about adguard. So it has to be WhatsApp but to be sure you generate a detailed adguard log and PM it to avatar_adg.

Follow this link on how to capture the detailed log: https://kb.adguard.com/index.php?/K.../collecting-a-full-log-on-adguard-for-android

Hope this helps... Cheers :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
There was such an issue in the stable AG version, but I can't reproduce it in the latest beta.

Also turning ad blocking off in the firewall should fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] Zamasu:
Nice :good:
[Android Apps and Games] calvin35:
Need a little help here. I recently switched phones and I had the paid version of this app but I'm not sure what my activation key number is and I'm having trouble logging in to your website. I entered my gmail account and followed the confirmation link but when I go back to the adguard site it keeps telling me that the email account is invalid. How do I get my activation key number to use adguard on the new phone? The number that I thought it was doesn't seem to be working.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
PM me the key so I can take a look what's wrong with it.
[Android Apps and Games] calvin35:
I'll PM you what I think is the key. Part of the problem is I'm not sure.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Anyway let's sort it out in PM. Key or email would be enough :)

Yelp App Crashes with AdGuard Beta

Using Beta 25B Version 2.5.123

Yelp will always crash when clicking on a Restaurant.
