Indeed it is. The problem here is that it is not reliable and even may break some apps. Look at that module for blocking youtube ads - it needs to be updated with literally every youtube app update. So I am a bit afraid of using it now.

For now we will stick to the plan leaving xposed as a last resort:)

when you say 'lifetime subscription' for $25 do you mean lifetime for Adguard and there might be a charge for Adguard 2 or Adguard Pro or Plus, or whatever creative names some devs come up with, or is it really a lifetime subscription?

Hello, I am using adguard and it is amazing! I read on their blog how to get a free key (http://adguard.com/en/get-adguard-for-free.html). So 4 my friends installed adguard from my link, but I still have 0 installations

So i installed adguard on my tablet from my link and the counter is still at 0. Can someone help me?

AG used around 15mb of mobile (background) data today, even though:

2) I didn't open any browser today

why?

I also think that it's a major source of battery drain in my phone(s),

(even though you deny it), because of the background initiatives,

could you please send me the refund?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
I guess we may have misunderstood each other, I was talking about Crashlytics in general and why there're many blocked records with that domain. AG app does not use Crashlytics or any tracking system so it has nothing to do with the topic.

Hey guys!

A small update for our release candidate that fixes one major and a couple of minor bugs.

[Fixed] "Protection" button misbehaves #1556

The AOT (ahead-of-time) compilation method on Android 7.x could remove whole chunks of AdGuard code on its optimization step. This led to various problems, including the persistance of VPN connection despite the disabled protection.

Adguard IS draining more battery than other no-root adblocker or just no adblocker...

Here's the proof ..

I made some test and Adguard (all version until now from 2.9 to the latest 2.10.155) is keeping my phone awake where other adblocker like Blokada doesn't.

So here's my "keep awake and kernel wakelock" WITH Adguard enabled.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9XFMV25CyuOc2xLV3B5WUwwTEk/view?usp=sharing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9XFMV25CyuOSjQwY0htcnpmeUE/view?usp=sharing

And WITHOUT Adguard enabled..

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9XFMV25CyuObXV0clk2YUhjQnc/view?usp=sharing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9XFMV25CyuOQzkxTHhHay0zeVU/view?usp=sharing

And WITH Blokada enabled. (other no-root VPN based adblocker)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9XFMV25CyuOV24xcGFneWVLMTA/view?usp=sharing

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9XFMV25CyuOaFlTdnAwRTNmOTQ/view?usp=sharing

As you can see AdGuard is keeping A LOT more kernel wakelock with Alarmtimer and Netmgr_wl... These test were made only on 5 minutes test of both usage..

But here are some proof over for 18 minutes screen off wakelock

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9XFMV25CyuOdXNNcVZ5WU5BMWc/view?usp=sharing

And here are some proof for more than 1 hour screen off wakelock

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9XFMV25CyuOYjVueGp4U3hiVWM/view?usp=sharing

Blokada and no adblocker don't keep my phone awake that much.. If Adguard is keeping my phone awake for 40minutes over 1hour screen off, without adblocker or with blokada my phone is awake for like 5-10 minutes..

By the way these aren't the only test i made.. This is like 20 test after that i conclude the faulty is adguard.. You can test yourself too. And i can say that problem is ONLY over Mobile Data , i can't reproduce this when WIFI is enabled.. So there's the culprit for sure..

I'm just posting this as good will hoping that Adguard will improve .. Do the test and give your feedback for Adguard dev fix this

Oh, and one more thing -- proxy mode or VPN?
[Android Apps and Games] tlf55:

[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
While we're testing it on our side, could you please do one small check on your side?

Try disabling "block ads in apps" and see if it changes anything? Also, disable DNS filtering if it's enabled.

What I am trying to check with this is if the issue is catalyzed by blocking ads in some app that might be holding one of these wakelocks or if it is caused by mere local VPN presence.
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
I tried myself and the answer is: no, it doesn't!

there is something that AG is doing in the background and it's totally wierd you don't know about it,

maybe you are pretending you don't ;)
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
It *works* in the background so it's not clear what are you implying. Just check the filtering log, your apps never "sleep", something is being sent or received all the time and the work never stops. However, it shouldn't affect the device "sleeping" and it does not at least on my device (I can't check the test devices yet as I am on vacation right now). Anyway, that's why I am trying to learn more about the situation.
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
yet, I'm telling you it still does work in the background, even if you use it only for browsers,

go figure

Hi, I'm using a modded version of instagram and when trying to download videos I've been getting the attached toast:

After disabling AdGuard, I still can't download the video however a different toast error is displayed. After a reboot and not enabling AdGuard, I'm able to download videos.

I realise it might not be related but the mention of protocol error and it only ever happening when AdGuard is enabled seems viable. Hope it helps
[Android Apps and Games] fddm:
Does disabling WiFi help at all with the wakelock issue? My phone has ril disabled and looks like it disables netmgr_wl too, so it makes sense that you only see it while on your mobile network.

Try disabling HTTPS filtering for that app.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
AdGuard's DNS module config can collide with name servers advertised over VPN tunnels

I run AdGuard in HTTP auto proxy mode on rooted devices and, whilst testing a new home VPN configuration yesterday, I noticed the following.

When I leave my home LAN and switch from wi-fi to LTE, I bring up an OpenVPN tunnel to the router in my home. The OpenVPN server is configured to advertise and provide DNS over the tunnel, and all traffic leaving the mobile device is now forwarded over the tunnel and out to the Internet via the home router.

This all works very nicely, but the problem comes when AdGuard's DNS module is activated and set to System. With no VPN tunnel active to my home, this configuration works as expected, because my mobile provider's DNS servers are simply reachable.

However, when the VPN tunnel to my home is brought up, AdGuard overrides the DNS servers advertised over the tunnel, and instead still tries to query the name servers configured in its own DNS module. Queries to these servers are subsequently routed over the VPN tunnel (tun0), not over LTE (rmnet0). My home router then dutifully forwards the queries out onto the Internet, where my mobile provider ultimately drops them, because the queries don't originate on their LTE network.

I'm not sure whether I consider this a bug or not. It's certainly not the desired behaviour in this case, but AdGuard is proxying all DNS queries to the configured servers, just as it has been instructed.

The question is: Should AdGuard behave this way? Or should there, at the very least, be a configuration option in AdGuard to allow DNS servers advertised over tun0 to override those configured in AdGuard?
[Android Apps and Games] Revertron:
[MENTION=7187684]ianmacd[/MENTION] Thank you for such thorough explanation. It does seem like a bug, and AdGuard should indeed refresh the servers that are considered as "System".

I have an idea for a feature,can a greylist be made that acts like a whitelist but can have custom filtering applied to it so the user can choose to block all of the basic things like re-directs,clickable ads,and tab openers so the site can't as likely crash the ad blocking?

Possible issue with AdGuard Tor proxying

Just for fun, I decided to try the new AdGuard Tor proxying feature today.

I started Orbot, pressed the auto-configure Tor button in Adguard and activated the new config. Really easy: Well done!

Next, I verified that my traffic was travelling over Tor, and it was. All good so far.

Finally, I tried to resolve an .onion host, but Chrome came back and complained that it couldn't find it. Uh-oh.

It seems that AdGuard doesn't route DNS traffic through the Tor SOCKS proxy. I tried in both HTTP auto proxy and VPN modes, but it made no difference. Whether or not AdGuard's DNS module is activated also appears to make no difference.

Is this by design or is it a bug? Shouldn't AdGuard be doing the equivalent of curl's --socks5-hostname option?

I don't do much with Tor, so it's also possible I've made a false assumption somewhere.

Mozilla seems to be making some changes to how certificates are installed.

firefox beta no longer offers to install it when opening the adguard certificate file, so on fresh installs it's not possible to use https filtering anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] fddm:
High quality does help many sites, I was just being dumb in thinking that it would help with apkmirror. I think it probably uses an embedded interstitial from the same domain to then load the ad. With encrypted https, adguard can only see the domain of the page being loaded, so it can't tell the interstitial from the site itself. With a https cert it sees the entire URL and can block it with a pattern, thus removing the blank space.

High quality let's adguard modify the page before it is served to the browser, so it can fix pages much like a browser add-on, but I don't know any good examples as I always have it enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
There's a lot of issues with the same cause: we do not reconfigure proxy on network connection change. It was okay when we did not filter UDP/DNS, but now it became a problem.

---------- Post added at 09:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

Yeah, we don't support .onion hosts yet. The problem is due to how DNS works, a browser cannot resolve an ".onion" domain and does not even try to connect to it.

To fix this issue we should intercept DNS requests and supply a fake response for ".onion" domains:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1346

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

That's actually a bug of FF:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1402693
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
curl has the --socks5-hostname flag for this, which causes the SOCKS5 proxy to also be used to resolve the hostname.

So you get something like this:

curl --head --socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:9050 https://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion/

Can't you just add an iptables rule to transparently forward DNS requests to Orbot when Tor proxying in AdGuard is activated?

Hey Adguard team members, i would like to configure network speed indicator app(Network Monitor mini pro) while using adguard since it uses vpn/proxy mode, the speed its showing is different from what my isp/carrier provides. So this app provides me an option to Normalise traffic when vpn/proxy is running and formula is kinda easy, that we have to divide actual speed by n(n=2 or 3 or 4...) i tried dividing the total speed by half but its still mismatching... Could you provide a brief calculation on this?
