blokada (which is becoming insanely popular lately without any reason in my opinion) and

adguard are two totally different apps buddy,

blokada is a copy of dns66 and it is like adaway, it just blocks ads at hosts level,

while adguard is blocking ads... well... everywhere,

you can use ready-to-use filters or even create your own,

you can remove whitespace leftovers from ads,

which blokada will never be able to do and

many, many other options

Can you recommend best setting for it? Because i'm new with this app.

Oh that depends on what you need from the app. In general I recommend to use default settings.

There is a short wizard/tutorial on the first app run, it will help you understand what is possible.

youtube ads?Adguard for android

does the premium version for android block youtube ads...if not looking for one that does dont mind paying for that feature..or maybe i missing a filter.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
YouTube uses https to download ads, this can't be filtered yet.

Also I'd like to read the app logs, maybe I'll see something there.

So could you please send us a message from the app? Adguard - Menu - "Send Feedback" and then post here the ticket ID (you'll get it in an autoreply email). Log file will be automatically attached to your ticket.

Could you please take a screenshot of it? I will help a lot.

With a latest beta version I experiencing connection issues on 2G/3G data while I using application like WAZE, Chrome, Facebook, ... They have connection issues, like DNS resolving problem or timeout errors or even Chrome reporting DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET. I'm running stock FW on Samsung Galaxy S5. Any idea why this happening? On the Wifi there is no problem at all. Because I'm not rooted I'm using AdGuard in VPN mode.

I've read the log and it seems that default log is not enough to analyze.

Could you please collect a full log for me? Use this instruction:

One more thing: I see that you use version 2.1.261. Could you please update to the latest one? (version 2.1.267)

Just tap "Check updates" in the app menu.
[Android Apps and Games] danielo:
So I uninstalled the application and deleted all the data via application manager and reinstalled back. When AdGuard started it asked me to reboot my phone to enable VPN filtering and from now on it looks OK. If the issue occurs again I will report back. Thanks.

That's ok for early Lollipop versions due to android bug, you need to reboot the phone after app reinstall.

They've fixed it in 5.1.

How I said before, I have both apps (in fact I have one year and one lifetime Adguard licenses) and I don't want to compare them, but obviously you have not have tried Blokada. It's a Vpn based solution, as Adguard, but not as powerful. I don't have whitespaces leftovers with Blokada, but Adguard has certainly the edge in total amount of blocked ads and customization, maybe sometimes too picky (I have problems with Adguard in some apps that I had whitelisted). I like Adguard, but it would be great to have a light version. Thanks

Just updated to Beta channel to test v3.0. Checking out Stealth settings i notice we can change User Agent string. This is HUGE. This gives us a way to use Google Search on Chrome without the AMP results!

I tested some strings. This one does the job:

Modern Google Search page without AMP results. FINALLY!

Thanks Adguard team. Improving my life one setting at a time. :good:

[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
of course I have tried blokada and I hated it from the first time,

the most full of bugs app I had ever tried

also, of course you have whitespaces leftovers with blokada,

adguard is the only one capable of removing the whitespaces because

it's the only one which filters the whole page content you're viewing,

all the others (blokada included), block only dns requests,

they cannot block anything else,

that's why you have to pay for adguard and blokada is free
[Android Apps and Games] Dirk:
I agree. Nothing else does the job like Adguard. Especially if you take into account that Adguard allows User Filters, which i make good use of for cosmetic filtering. The new 'Stealth' settings in the Beta take it to a whole new level. We're getting functionality that has previously only been available on Desktop with fully fledged Extensions up till now.

The user agent [MENTION=1763460]Dirk[/MENTION]provided broke Samsung Internet, but this one works. YMMV though.
[Android Apps and Games] Dirk:
It pretty much guides you through. If you have any questions ask away. Enable HTTPS filtering and follow the prompts. Choose a DNS server. Choose your Filters and General Settings.

If you want to try the new Beta just install the standard version and look for the Release Channel option. Change from Stable to Beta and refresh. You'll update to Beta and have the new Stealth Options (providing you are Premium)

Useful to know, thanks! :good: Does Samsung Internet return AMP results with Google Search? I've been looking for a new way to block AMP since the old encrypted.google.com trick stopped working. Been using Bing of all things. Now i can use Google Search on Chrome again.

Is there someone who uses YouTube Vanced or any other method which enables youtube in background playback (firefox, newpipe etc) and have found that YouTube stops working in between when used with Adguard?

The main requests which are blocked continuously when this happens are most of the time from s.youtube.com subdomains.

When I open the screen and force an update or turn on and off adguard, the stopped video suddenly starts working.

This has been going on for me not just for latest nightly but almost as long as I have used Adguard which must be ~3 years.

[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Hello!

Seems like it's a firmware bug. Can you try to restart your mobile device and check again? Also, note that if you install AdGuard on the external storage (flash card) it will be unable to run a VPN service (android restriction).

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

There is no big difference at all as I know:) DNS filtering is maybe not a clearly named. If you switch DNS requests blocking then DNS filtering should work as it meant to be, if you do not then it will be just like a "custom" DNS (Google/Cloudflare/Quad9).
[Android Apps and Games] the stranger94:
Restart or reinstall does not resolve anything.

Unfortunately I think is an android behavior because when I eliminate every utent other than the main one I can use adguard with no problem. Seem a little strange anyway.. :look:

Tapatalked with A8 2018
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Sorry, was not focused on the "utent" word... So the problem is that every app that hasn't been installed from the play store have some restrictions in multi-user tasks. That's why you are not able to run a VPN service. :(
[Android Apps and Games] the stranger94:
I can understand that for secondary account, but I can understand why it should be blocked also in the main account... But I don't think I can do nothing to resolve..

I wanted ti create a second utent for mai mother but if I have to let her navigate without an adblocker no thank :asd:

Tapatalked with A8 2018
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
It means that you should have only one, main account.

I use YouTube vanced which allows background play and other features but requires Google micro service for account login other than the pre-installed Google services. After I installed adguard, I'm unable to login with any account and says "Please check your network connection" everytime

Does anyone has faced the same issue or who can help resolve it?
[Android Apps and Games] kam333:
I used Vanced too but no issues, have you tried to whitelist micro g or Vanced?
[Android Apps and Games] Chinask1:
Hello!

Step 1: Enabling HTTPS filtering

First of all, you have to enable HTTPS filtering in AdGuard settings. It is necessary for decrypting the data sent to YouTube by its servers. To do it, simply go to Settings -> HTTPS Filtering > Turn on HTTPS filtering

If you have ROOT access, you can transfer the AdGuard certificate to the system storage from the settings menu (AdGuard - Settings - HTTPS Filtering - Certificate status - Move to the system store.)

Step 2: Clearing the app data

The next step is to clear the Youtube app data. To do so, open Android settings, go to Application Manager, then tap on Youtube and on the "Clear storage” button

This is our major problem. AdGuard can remove all ads from the app, but only if Youtube is ‘cleared’. After the device reboot or Youtube restart (restart is carried out by "swipe" and followed by the launch), it switches to another algorithm, in which some video ads will still break through.

Thus, you will need to clear the Youtube app data at every reboot of your device (at least). For users with ROOT access, this process can be automated. We have added a new flag to the Low-Level settings just for that. To enable it, go to Settings -> Advanced -> Low Level Settings -> find the pref.root.clear.youtube preference and check it:

If it is enabled, AdGuard will clear Youtube app data at the device start.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
a big list of instructions, completely irrelevant to the situation.

here some more relevant instructions: in adguard app management choose YouTube vanced and disable the adguard protection option, repeat with microG.

vanced already blocks ads by itself, there's no need to run it through an ad blocker.
[Android Apps and Games] Dirk:
It looks like XDA has been added to the 'Fanboys Anti 3rd Party Fonts' filter. (Found under Content Blocking/Filters/Privacy). If the site fonts starts looking weird, disable that filter.

I have been using Adguard Premium for 2 or 3 years. I have a problem from ver. 2.12 (I'm using ver 3.0.297 now): The mobile net indicator disappears (4G or 4G+) from my Notification bar.

[Android Apps and Games] alex.do:
For those who don't have root and still wanna use Local HTTP Proxy mode instead (to use another VPN for example):

With Developer Options → USB Debugging on

adb shell settings put global http_proxy 127.0.0.1:8080

Pros:

HTTP Proxy without root

Use in conjunction with other VPN app

Cons:

Must run each time you reboot your phone I restarted and the setting still stands!! Not sure it works the same way on your phones

DNS Filtering not working with HTTP Proxy mode? (*)

(*) Extra:

You can also try the following commands to deal with DNS filtering not working with HTTP proxy mode (not sure if it works)

setprop net.dns1 <ip-address>
setprop net.dns2 <ip-address>
// or
setprop net.rmnet0.dns1 <ip-address>
setprop net.rmnet0.dns2 <ip-address>
// or
setprop dhcp.eth0.dns1 <ip-address>
setprop dhcp.eth0.dns2 <ip-address>

(**) If you are on Android 9, you can also use Private DNS feature: Settings → Network & internet → Advanced → Private DNS

Edit:

(***) In case you want to go back, just delete the settings:

adb shell settings delete global http_proxy
adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_host
adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_port
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:

[Android Apps and Games] alex.do:
Maybe adguard team they knew but it didn't work on old android versions? If not, maybe they will add to FAQ after this :D

I dont think dns filtering can ever work on http proxy. Why? the name already indicates that it only works with http protocol. for other protocols such as UDP (often used for games) you will need (re)route all network packages that only VPN can do.

But you can still use adb to change dns or if you are on android 9 you can use Private DNS feature.
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
Which one of the adb did you use. I want to use cloudflare
[Android Apps and Games] usr3:
DNS filtering was updated sometime back to work with http proxy mode too, at least with root it works.
[Android Apps and Games] alex.do:
im not really following. what do you mean adb? im using the adb from platform tools from android sdk.

if you wanna use cloudflare you can either use its ip addresses

1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

or

1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com

(private dns)

I doubt that. if it works there must be something other than just the http proxy. maybe something under the hood that routes the dns.

From official adguard faq:

https://kb.adguard.com/en/android/faq#DNS
[Android Apps and Games] usr3:
The faq has some parts which are not up-to-date. I found two posts from the dev that DNS filtering was added in http proxy mode. Don't know how exactly it works though.
