Yep, it seems that you're right. The guy on github has just returned with the same issue:(

Here is a github link:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/597

Also it's nice that turning "filter apps traffic" on or off helps with it. It means that the issue is caused by ad filtering, thus it should be possible to fix.

Could you please record HTTP requests log and send it to me by email? I can't yet get to the android N device, so log file is the only thing I can use to find out what's causing it.

UPD: "record everything" logging level would be even better.

---------- Post added at 02:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 AM ----------

One more thing to try. If it is related to blocking something which should not be blocked, then turning all ad blocker filters should also fix it.

[MENTION=4570464]ScOULaris[/MENTION] could you please check it?
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Alright, I'll try to capture some logs tomorrow while I'm at work.

Also, you can forget what I said about DNS Filtering causing the issues with push notifications on my home Wi-Fi. Now that I'm back from vacation, it's doing it again whether or not Adguard is even enabled. Sorry for the false diagnosis.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
You know what's weird, the guy on github claims that he has "filter apps traffic" off and it does not change anything.

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

This issue is fixed in the latest RC.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
That is really odd. Toggling app traffic filtering on and off enables/disables the downloads being blocked with 100% consistency for me. I figured it was something to do with the Downloads Manager in Android N taking issue with having its traffic filtered.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Yep, I've heard of this trick. As I know, you can't do it on default Android from Google, but on some devices this trick is possible and working, no drawbacks here.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

In this case it should be enough to turn ad filtering off for the Downloads Manager in AG Firewall.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Yeah, and that doesn't fix it. I've tried both turning off filtering for the Downloads app via the Adguard Firewall interface and adding the Downloads app package name to the exclusions list in low-level settings. Only disabling filtering across all apps (other than browsers) fixes downloads for me.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Argh. Ok, enough, going to update my 6P to Android N today:)

Wi-Fi here is not very good so it will take some time.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Good news, I am on Android N now and I am able to reproduce this issue. Hurray:)
[Android Apps and Games] ushpiy:
Hi I have been using this app and its brilliant. However ever since I have installed a different rom Mokee (its like a fork of CyanogenMod) on my device, it doesn't work well.

My question is for the root access do we need SuperSu or does the root access present in CM (enabling through developer option) work well enough for it? I don't want to use the HTTP proxy method.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
If you use VPN filtering mode there is no need in ROOT access at all.

If you have ROOT, you can switch to "Proxy + Automatic" filtering mode.

We don't need to emulate TCP/UDP in this mode, thus AG battery usage is lower.
[Android Apps and Games] eltigre4jc:
Any new updates from the tester?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Not yet, he should finish with it today.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
[MENTION=5712792]eltigre4jc[/MENTION]

He has done it finally. In the current version AG does not accept intents from third-party apps so for now it's impossible to start/stop it from tasker.

But we'll fix this situation in the next beta version (and I'll post which intents exactly you should use in tasker).
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Beta version 1.2.1056

New beta version is out! Download link (as always): https://adguard.com/apkb

Changelog for version 1.2.1056:

* Fixed problem with TCP implementation (issue with downloading large files)

* Fixed saving of Firewall traffic statistics

* Fixed problems with an autostart of the app

* Roku app added to exceptions

* Use of system Intents to manage the service from other programs (Tasker, etc.) is now allowed

Here are 2 useful Tasker actions settings.

Start Adguard:

RESOLVED

I cannot get my text messages to send while AG is active. I tried switching to a different text app, which does send out once in a while, but not often. What text apps can you suggest that might work?

I have tried the latest beta, the latest release, and the paid version, but none seem to be able to send a text reliably. I have no problem receiving texts. I have sent detailed logs, but whatever is blocking my send ability must not be showing up. Also, it doesn't matter if it is wifi or cell data.

Note 4 unrooted on Android 5.0.1

Current version of AG is 1.2.1046

Update: Everything working now. Great support!
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
[MENTION=3193255]Maris_[/MENTION]

That's strange, I thought the issue was fixed when we have added IPv6 support.

I suppose in your case the problem caused by ad filtering.

Please tell us which app do you use now? We will add it to exclusions in the next update.

Textra for instance.

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

UPD: I have found your ticket in the support system.

I see that system tries sending ESP packets and currently we do not support this protocol. We'll need some time to figure it out.
[Android Apps and Games] Maris_:
I've gone back to the one that comes standard in the Note 4, called "Messages."

Thanks for the update.
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:
Would it be possible to add a more easy way to access the firewall ? Maybe from app homescreen or as a launher shortcut?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
You are right, placing firewall deep in the app settings is not very user-friendly:)

We'll change this in future, need to redesign homescreen a bit.
[Android Apps and Games] viruzth:
I love the firewall function. Still lack many features from firewall I used to have.

1. Blacklist mode vs Whitelist mode

2. Separate blocked with allowed, *pera max did it well.

3. save, export, & import rule.

but overall it is a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] MjezZza:
it uses way too much mb of ram.. adaway uses around 5 mb and this over 50
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
adaway requires root and only has to maintain a list of bad hosts. This app doesn't require root and has to set up an entire vpn connection so it can do the intercepting. If your device doesn't have root this is the ONLY solution to do ad blocking for both the web and in apps.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
It's because Adaway does nothing. The only thing it does is filling your "hosts" file with some addresses.

And that's why it's memory/cpu usage is hidden from you. Every app scans the hosts file for every net request (this requires additional CPU/Memory).

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

We'll add all of these eventually. Current Firewall is only first step:)

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

We've just released a new beta version.

Changelog:

+ Added options for update channel - Beta/Release

* Fixed sorting of apps in the firewall

* Fixed sending of SMS for T-Mobile users

* Fixed filter auto-update settings

* Vintera.tv app was added to the exceptions

* Added support for NoChromo browser

What's important is that we have finally fixed an issue with SMS messages over T-Mobile.

Some useful information for other android developers who use Android VpnService API:

If you want to support US carriers such as Verizon and T-Mobile:

1. Your app MUST support IPv6 filtering

2. Add following IPv6 route to the VPN:

2000::/3

Point 2 is important. T-Mobile sends IPSec packets to some private address and you won't be able to tunnel it.

Route 2000::/3 covers only public addresses, so traffic to private addresses bypasses your VPN.

If you can't or don't want to support IPv6 filtering, you can simply add a single route so that all ipv6 traffic will bypass your VPN:

2000::/128
[Android Apps and Games] DirkStorck:

Ever since Droid Turbo updated to Lollipop 5.1, Adguard beta is using a ridiculous amount of battery.

Beta version 1.2.1087.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Could you please take a look at Firewall stats and see which app is overusing bandwidth?

It may be that some app goes mad because of ad blocking and retries sending ad requests with a very short interval.

We've seen this once with google analytics SDK.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Nice! Maybe being on Android N will make it much easier for you to track down whatever is preventing YouTube adblocking from working as well. Now you won't have to always ask others to send you HAR files.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
I was already looking into this issue on our test Android N device. It appears that YT app behaviour depends on the user location, so it's not that easy.

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

On the other hand, I am not very active YT user. Maybe if I spend more time inside the app, I'll see something?
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
I don't know about the impact that region has on YT, but in Android N for me adblocking does not work whatsoever. It will be easy to spot. Right as you start the app you should see a sponsored video at the top of your frontpage. Watch a few videos in a row, and odds are you'll see numerous pre-roll ads. It's like Adguard's HTTPS filtering is not being applied at all to YouTube in Android N.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
the play store just started showing "ads" in search results.

the 1st result is always a sponsored result, with an "ad" tag.

the system isn't very smart though, when I searched for opera mini it was both the sponsored and the 1st legitimate result.

N P4 HTTPS filtering issue

Nexus 6P

AdGuard .108

HTTPS filtering is active, and when opening Chrome Custom Tabs in Twitter I get the BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN redirect screen, because the certificate isn't trusted. What can I do?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
It appears that in DP4 they have forbidden HTTPS filtering in YT app:(

Here is an issue in Android issue tracker:

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=211679

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

I guess this is caused by the Chrome version (which does not trust user certs).

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

One thought about it. I am sure that they will fix it for the browser as it's pretty important for lots of users to have an SSL inspection option. However, i am not sure if they will fix it for YT app.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Hm. They marked the tracker issue that you linked as a Defect, so maybe there's a chance that they will allow user certs to be applied in YT before Android N's stable release.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Fingers crossed
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Any idea why Google search ads show? I feel like they used to be blocked in Marshmallow. Maybe there was a change in the filters sometime in the last few weeks?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Can't confirm with Chrome beta. Are you sure google.com filtering is allowed in your configuration?
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
I'm on Chrome beta as well, and they seem to creep in randomly. Next time it happens I'll try to capture a log and screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Quick question: does the pref.vpn.ipv6.disable low-level settings disable IPv6 completely like root apps made for this purpose on the Play Store do? I don't have root permissions, but I'd like to disable IPv6 on my phone to see if it helps with my issue of push notifications not coming through when I'm on my home Wi-Fi.

All signs point to my router not playing well with assigning/reassigning IPv6 addresses to our Android devices within my home, but my gateway does not allow me to disable IPv6 on the router side.

[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
As a workaround for N DP4 users who want HTTPS filtering in Chrome: disable stock Chrome and install Chrome Beta

[Android Apps and Games] californicated:
Http/ proxy mode is using less battery than VPN mode, other than that there is no difference. Right?

If rooted my device and trying AdAway like in old days, but Adguard did its job way better. So I'm looking if it was worth rooting for Adguards http/ proxy mode.
[Android Apps and Games] doomscooter:
I have license key but why when i input in HTC M9 not support. After input key then 2 minute adguard offline. Its adguard not support cpu 64bit like HTC M9? Tia.
[Android Apps and Games] -X5-:
As I know Proxy-Mode is a bit more battery friendly, but VPN has better filtering.

The AdGuard Team recommend using VPN instead of Proxy-Mode.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6P mit Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
My devices run Adguard in HTTP proxy mode. They display a big red message when you enter the firewall screen that warns that firewall functionality is limited in this mode, but I have to say that I have never noticed any traffic getting through that should have been prevented.

The main advantage of running Adguard in this mode is that I can use the VPN facility to connect to the Internet and still enjoy ad filtering.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Alright, so I have been struggling with this issue on my home Wi-Fi connection for quite some time now, and I am having a hard time determining whether or not Adguard plays a role in it. Could one of you devs chime in on what you think?

When I come home from being at work all day and my phone switches from mobile data to my home Wi-Fi, oftentimes push notifications fail to come through unless I do a phone restart. If I don't restart, nothing else I do will ever get push notifications to work unless I disconnect from the Wi-Fi and go back to mobile data. For further clarity, push notifications work perfectly on every other Wi-Fi network that I connect to on a regular basis.

Now, I've noticed that this doesn't tend to happen if Adguard is disabled when my phone makes the switch between mobile data and my home Wi-Fi. If I enable Adguard, however, suddenly push notifications stop working again. I believe it has something to do with IPv6 requests being blocked between my router and my phone, but I am an unable to disable IPv6 on my Comcast-provided Gateway/router in order to troubleshoot.

Is there any log I could capture and send in to look into this matter? It is driving me crazy, but I can't even say for sure whether or not Adguard plays a role in this.

I'm using the Push Notifications Tester app from the Play Store to send myself GCM push notifications while diagnosing the problem.

Hi ,

When i had similar " settings stopped working.. etc " issues , on my other secondary devices, i was using( Note 3 & 4 )

I found issues was related to certain system apps ,i disabled .(knock on effect ).Also at one stage Xposed modules etc.

Have you used apps like Package disabler ,Xposed framework etc .? No ?

In my case when i installed Adguard certificate ,

i had to enable a secure lockscreen ( i was using none )

Overall i had no issues with installing certificate on my

current device Note 5 .

I have sent a support ticket 48 hours ago and there is still no replies. nice 24/7 support !

Here is my question :

"I am using trial version of adguard on my Android phone, currently it shows it has blocked 4300 ads, but when I go to firewall and look on individual apps, the number of blocked ads do not add up to 4300, they add up to something like 1800. I want to know where the rest of blocked ads are coming from ?"
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Where do you see the promise of 24 hour support, especially for trial version users?
[Android Apps and Games] fifthelement:
The promise is on their website, so you say they have support staff available 24/7 but they ignored my ticket for 48 hours because I was not a paid user ? are you a child ? I knew 24/7 support was a lie but I didnt expect to not to receive any replies in 48 hours. support is non existent for this app. I decided to not to buy a license and ended my trial.

[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
I said no such thing. I asked you a question, because I've never seen the claim of 24/7 support on their web site. I'm not claiming it's not there somewhere, but I haven't seen it.

Actually, support for this app is excellent. I've seen bugs reported and test builds containing a fix released just an hour or two later. All reported bugs are thoroughly investigated and the app is in constant development with a clear timetable for upcoming releases.

Perhaps you have unrealistic expectations. In any case, your decision to abandon the software leaves you without access to the best ad-busting software on the market, bar none. That's your loss.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Hey all!

Today I am here to bring some bad news about future of HTTPS filtering on Android.

So, what has changed in Android N:

1. If app targets Android N, then by default it won't trust user-added CA (like what you add when use Adguard).

2. To start trusting user-added CA developer should opt in and create a special network configuration.

What does that mean:

1. Browsers will continue to trust user-added CA (at least I am sure about Chrome and it's forks).

2. Apps won't trust users CA, so no more https filtering there. Youtube ads are back.

3. If you have root access, you can move AG certificate into a system store and overcome this limitation.

Oh it's out the window, alright. Adguard's userbase mostly consists of people who stumbled upon it by searching for Android adblockers that don't require root. It's the best solution for filtering out ads without root permissions.
