Thanks, that almost works. How did you figure out adding that IPv6 address worked and what is it?

Problem is, I have no internet access on mobile data or Wi-Fi unless AdGuard is enabled. For example, after rebooting there is no internet access until AdGuard finishes loading.

EDIT: Also XDA won't load. It loads fine switching back to VPN mode.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
In the Android VPN settings, can you check if you enabled the "do not connect unless VPN connection is up" (not sure about the translation as my phone is not in English) for AdGuard?
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
No, I did not. We're talking about the automatic proxy, not VPN.
[Android Apps and Games] the stranger94:
With a non premium version is it possible to put an app in "white list"? A friend have some problem with whatsapp notification and maybe the VPN is the problem..

My experience with AdGuard for Android

My experience with AdGuard for Android

Usually, all of my mobile phones are based on Android and they are rooted. Some are from Samsung but lately I use the Le Eco Max2 since it has very good performance, allows the use of custom ROMs and costs less than a quarter of big brand mobile phones.

Since the Mercedes Me Adapter App for my car will not work on a rooted phone, I had to use a Stock ROM on my Samsung SM-G870, the Samsung S5 ACTIVE. I really hate non-rooted mobile phones since I can’t use a good firewall or uninstall all the bloatware. And all those ads are very annoying. I am using AdAway for rooted phones and all those annoying ads are gone. But this app will not work on Stock ROM.

Therefore, I was looking at a solution to block all ads for non-rooted Android mobiles and after a number of useless test with quite non-performing apps, I found Ad Guard. I read some good reviews and although I was very skeptical that it will perform sufficiently on non-rooted Android mobiles, I installed the free version and started a trial of the test period for the premium version.

First, I noticed that there are many ways to customize the AdGuard app which is very useful in order to prevent blocking necessary features that may be mistaken for an add. Inside AdGuard, every installed app has its own screen to configure it exactly to my preferences. A LOT of hard work must have gone in this app since it has so many customization features, including an API for Tasker, etc...

After some weeks of using AdGuard, I must say that it really blocks everything that it should and there were no “false positives” such as useful functions being blocked.

I can truly recommend AdGuard as the most effective way to get rid of all unwanted ads in your Android device.

I know of no other apps that can do such a wonderful job on Stock ROM.

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

I never tried it in my PC but it works flawless on my non-rooted Android devices. Of course, I also use AdAway on rooted devices.
[Android Apps and Games] kingbenzima:
Disabled Adaway and left AdGuard running for a couple of hours, came back and saw thousands of blocked connections, how can I extract this information from AG and create a new hosts file for Adaway???

[Android Apps and Games] folusmile:
Does it has firewall? Blocking some app from internet.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
it doesn't have any smart firewall functions, but you can block apps from accessing the internet while adguard is running.

I do believe this requires a subscription though.

you get options for blocking over Wi-Fi, mobile, and while the screen is off.
[Android Apps and Games] VasilyBagirov:
You can go to App Management screen and disable internet access for OS but that would be an overkill. Check HTTPS filtering whitelist for anything google-related and remove those domains from the whitelist if you wish so.
[Android Apps and Games] DeeZeeDZ:
I tried your app, but experienced some issues - no notification on first app internet access attempt, and an uncomfortable app settings page.

I reverted to using NetGuard.

I don't want to be without a firewall and ad blocking, but I miss the option of also using a proper VPN.

If you could add regular VPN functions to your existing product, it would be worth paying a monthly /yearly subscription... Without that, I don't NEED this app. But I would like to...
[Android Apps and Games] DeeZeeDZ:
Well, I installed this thing anyway, to test it and compare with NetGuard.

It is more complicated to adjust individual app settings, there are extra steps, but it seems to provide the same functionality...

The only setting I'm not sure about is HTTPS Filtering.

Should I turn it on for apps or not? When is it needed? By default it's off for all apps. Any info appreciated!
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Https filtering does most of the heavy lifting for blocking ads in most apps now.
[Android Apps and Games] DeeZeeDZ:
I haven't seen any ads yet, despite leaving it disabled. Are you saying I should enable it for all apps? Also should I be concerned about the warning when turning on HTTPS Filtering?

Also I just found the DNS setting, and specifically secure DNS / DNSCrypt. I selected the first one from AdGuard.

How does this compare to a VPN?

I was just reading about it, and it sounds very promising!
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
I think the AdGuard Knowledge base will help answer your questions: https://kb.adguard.com/en/android/features
[Android Apps and Games] geminium:
Has anyone had issues with activating the license?
[Android Apps and Games] DeeZeeDZ:
I read all of it. Secure DNS promises to hide my online activities from my ISP, much like a VPN would.

Since I can't use a real VPN on top of this, I'm still wondering how much privacy this gives me in comparison...
[Android Apps and Games] DeeZeeDZ:
I decided to contribute to translating the app to my language, and after reading the FAQ and Knowledge Base, I see you offer licences for translating 500 words or something.

Is this a full licence, and if not, how much would I have to translate for that?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
is it normal that apps that are set to completely bypass adguard still see the presence of a VPN?

a media steaming app I often use suddenly sees devices double after it got VPN support, once directly and once through a VPN.

due to some issues with streaming through VPN I decided to disable redirecting through adguard for this app, but it still sees devices double.
[Android Apps and Games] montajd:
Latest still blocks logging in on XDA Labs. That's why the forums haven't been loading in the app
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
The forum loads fine for me. The only thing AdGuard blocks is the analytics server: data.flurry.com.
[Android Apps and Games] arealcoolhand:
If I am using Local VPN, the forums load fine. But if I have Local HTTP Proxy enabled, the forums never load.

I also have similar problems with Twitter. If using Local VPN, the app works normally. If using Local HTTP Proxy, media on tweets such as photos or videos don't load. Sometimes they will load immediately after enabling AdGuard, but inevitably it quits working and I have to stop/start protection to be able to load media again.
[Android Apps and Games] montajd:
Yep, I'm using local proxy as well

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

The last version where it worked consistently, at least that I've used, has been 2.11.80
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
I was having similar issues with auto-proxy in the past with T-Mobile IPv6, but just tried it again to test this out. It's working so far even after switching from LTE to Wi-Fi and vice versa.

In somewhat unrelated news, today I decided to test out Mullvad VPN via WireGuard. No issues or conflicts with AdGuard.
[Android Apps and Games] montajd:
I'm not rooted so I had to do the manual setup for the proxy. After clearing app data and cache (in XDA Labs/Forum), after putting in my credentials, pressing submit has no effect. After rolling back to 2.11.80, no problem at all. Very strange
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
Are you saying the latest rc fixed the http-proxy mode for ipv6 mobile data for you? Just tried and it's still broken for me... Anything special you did to make it work. I'd really like to be able to use http-proxy mode again.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Yes. No, I didn't do anything special.

EDIT: Maybe I did. See my new post.

Try pinning Adguard in recent window
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Ads getting through in some apps with recent nightlies.

Ads have started to slip through in certain mobile apps with the last couple of nightlies. The ubiquitous Phone Info app used by Samsung device owners is one of them.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Actually, now that I think about it, it might be WireGuard that's keeping the connection up. I installed WireGuard and signed up for Mullvad VPN the same day and have been using it ever since. When it can't find a connection, I'm guessing it tries releasing / renewing the IP address or something similar to reconnect to the service.
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
I thought it might be it too when I read about WireGuard. I know it's a bit off topic, but how is it. I was thinking about going with mullvad too but I wanted a few feedback first. Any issues switching from wifi to mobile data? I'm happy to see it works with adguard too, was wondering if it would break it.

EDIT: Decided to try it out, and I must say I'm impressed. Speed is good, it connects instantly, works flawlessly with adguard even with mobile data, switching from wifi to mobile data is seamless. Well worth the extra bucks!
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
I wondered... Is there any benefit by enabling DNS but keeping the system default one?

Edit : I wrote my question better.
[Android Apps and Games] arealcoolhand:
Yes, but only if you are interested in and enable "DNS requests blocking" as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
So I'm not getting how it's working then.

System DNS got no blocking at all since it uses my ISP ones (I presume?) so even if I enable DNS with "DNS requests blocking" but still use the system default DNS servers, how is it working?
[Android Apps and Games] Dark_Eyes_:
From what I understand, DNS requests are filtered, and those that point to ad servers are blocked, no matter what DNS server you use. So it will work with system DNS server or any other one that you might choose.
[Android Apps and Games] vipinaggar:
Can you tell me the settings in detail to enable both adguard and wireguard on non-rooted phone. I am using wireguard with azirevpn and not able to set proxy settings in adguard.

My phone is rooted so I can use http-proxy mode instead of vpn mode in adguard. I don't know how to make it work on non-rooted phone.

Nobody likes to roll out a hotfix just a week after the release, but sometimes there’s no other choice. We took this opportunity to not only fix the problem but also to update the CoreLibs filtering engine and make a handful of other useful changes.

[Fixed] AdGuard does not restart after auto-pause on older Android devices #2127

Turned out, on some older devices (Android 6 and older) AdGuard didn't restart after the protection got paused automatically (say, on the network state change). This affected a large enough portion of AdGuard users to justify an immediate update.

Hi all,

How can I get rid of the adguard notification on the lockscreen? I know I can hide all notifications but that's not what I want. I still want to see e.g. mails or Whatsapp.

If I long click the adguard lockscreen notification I get a few options (license notifications,...) but nothing about the lockscreen.

I want to keep the icon in the notification area, but no lockscreen notification.

Is this possible?

Thanks a lot

Hi all guys, I'm using version 2.11.81 of Adguard and I found a defect: after setting DNS cloudflare I can not connect with the mobile data.

How can I fix it?

Most likely your mobile network uses IPv6 only. Try switching to the Cloudflare IPv6 DNS server.

It successfully blocked the ad.

I doubt it can do content hiding in-app.
[Android Apps and Games] stefan_city:
My objection was if it's possible to hide the context of ad, but it's ok, doesn't matter.

Also, such apps kills themselves when there is not internet connection. There is this option here?
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
That what I called content hiding but maybe it's not the proper term to define it?

If I'm not wrong, you have two options :

pref.vpn.disable.pause

And / or

pref.vpn.disable.reconfigure

In the advanced ~> low level settings to disable that behaviour.

[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
AdGuard allowing more and more ads through in apps.

I've reported this before, but the problem is getting worse over time. More and more ads are getting through in Android apps. See the popular Phone Info app for just one example. This is on the latest nightly, rooted in auto-proxy mode, but it's been this way for a while now.

Additionally, the nightlies have dried up in the last couple of weeks. These really need to be more frequent.

[Android Apps and Games] Saswata Chakraborty:
I know a lot of Adguard fans would not agree with me, but a VPN based ad blocker will always slow down the internet speed compared to a host-based ad blocker (atleast in my experience). Plus keeping a VPN active all the time means an extra burden on the system.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
adguard however blocks a lot more, and can even block page elements allowing it to hide reserved space as well.

and a decently filled hosts file takes up resources too.
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
The only issue so far, is battery usage.

[Android Apps and Games] hasan4791:
Nope in my experience. Playing pubg and the ping is consistently below 50ms. Also extra burden on system is minimal and these days every phone comes with huge battery. If i don't want any ads in my app, i could sacrifice my battery juice... That too little. The best thing about vpn app is you can restrict or block data traffic of any app.

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

Better enable filtering and report the traffic you are seeing when Angry bird is running. This could help in updating filters from their backend.
[Android Apps and Games] Saswata Chakraborty:
I agree. A VPN based ad blocker blocks more ads than a host based ad blocker (because of the way it works) and some even removes dead spaces as well. However, it forces all the data to go through the tunnel which will definitely slow down the internet (there is no VPN in the world which can work faster than your ISP). and most importantly, it posses a huge risk of your data security (even if someone promises not to manipulate or sell/leak your data). That's where a host based ad blocker has an edge. It gives you a piece of mind while doing its job.
[Android Apps and Games] hasan4791:
Totally agree with what you have mentioned about data leaks. But Adguard works using local vpn setup. Both the server & client are running in your device itself. Also the the tunnel is created locally it won't affect the browsing speed even though the RTT delay would be in nano sec which user can't even feel it. Even online gamijng works fine which shows, your internet connection is pretty good as what isp provides.

[MENTION=6134748]Daria, Adguard Team[/MENTION].

After recent update i'm having issue while using Cisco web-ex app for buisness meetings. When Adguard is enabled, webex app gives me the error attached in the screenshot while joining meeting room. I have to disable the adguard to join the meeting room and after that if i re-enable the adguard everything works well. I tried disabling dns block requests which didn't work too. Temporarily I enabled not to block ad option from App management and its working fine now. This issue wasn't there before. Both in VPN & proxy mode i have this issue. Enabling filtering doesn't show much info about webex app packets and i could see only few dns requests. After disabling the ad, i can see tcp requests flowing to and fro. Kindly look into this. Using DNS Crypt and cisco dns.

[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
That's incorrect. When both endpoints of the VPN tunnel are on the local host, there is very little overhead, and certainly not enough to make the local loopback device slower than the link to any ISP.

Again, your misapprehension is that any traffic is going off-site. AdGuard uses Android's VPN facility to provide a hermetically sealed filtering environment, but it's a loopback VPN, not a VPN in the usual sense with a remote endpoint.
