So thank you, unfortunately this didn't work either - or better to say "something is working, something is not" - eg. I can send messages from Hangout but no notifications are received on watches or with significant delay. ;-( Without Android Wear messages I can load messages but when sending, it says no phone connected. On Mobile when checking battery stat, it shows nothing. Any idea what to try as next ? It seems that it is somehow on "lower" "Google" level ?

I repeat that when I fully disable AdGuard, all is fine. When checking SMSes with EvolveSMS on watch, with AdGuard enabled, no messages shows up - with AdGuard disabled and phone rebooted - again all fine.:eek:

What do you think about :

Seems related indeed. Does it work well when you turn the whole https filtering OFF?
[Android Apps and Games] shaarky:
Yes, turning off HTTPS helped, is there some way to Whitelist *androidwearcloudsync* ?
[Android Apps and Games] Flowsen21:
Is there a difference between disabling "Filter ads" for an app at the Firewall screen and entering the package name of the app at the pref.net.exclusions list?

I only want Adguard to block ads for Chrome, YouTube and IMDb, so all other of my installed apps should not be blocked/monitored (since they don't contain any ads).
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Is there any way of disabling ipv6 through the Adguard firewall? I have issues with push notifications coming through on my phone while on my home Wi-Fi, and it sounds like ipv6 being used for Google Cloud Messaging is the issue. Since I can't disable ipv6 on my router (doesn't give me the option) and I would need root to disable it on the system level in Android, I was wondering if it would be possible to do through Adguard since the local VPN can have its own connection settings.

UPDATE: Found it in low-level settings. Gonna disable it and see if that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] AndrasLOHF:
Soooooo need an answer for this. Chrome is the only thing I need to be ad blocked.

It would be nice if there was a way to completely disable Adguard and have it run only when I have chrome in the foreground. Reason being... Chrome is the only app I use that has ads. And the most important reason..... Having the VPN on permanently completely breaks trusted Wi-Fi spots for Project Fi as there can only be one VPN at a time.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Hm. YouTube blocking suddenly stopped working for me that. I tried clearing out the app data, restarting Adguard, and restarting the online. I'm using the Blacklist functionality for HTTPS filtering, and it was working for a long time up until yesterday or today.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Yep, we will add it to the default exclusions list. For now you can do it manually ("https filtering -> whitelist -> add "androidwearcloudsync-pa.googleapis.com" there).

Filed a bug report on this:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/609

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

There is a huge difference. App in "pref.net.exclusions" is fully excluded from the local VPN, while when you turn "Filter Ads" off, traffic is still routed through it (so you can control net access with a firewall).

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

Try updating to the latest beta (published 30 mins ago) and see if it helps.

If not, I need to get HAR (http archive) files for analysis. Recording HAR files is a new feature arrived in the previous beta, here is an instruction on how to use it:

It would be nice if you record a detailed log of what's going on. Maybe we can resolve this issue by excluding some routes. Here is an instruction on recording the full log:

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

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

You can add all apps except Chrome to this "pref.net.exclusions" list, that will be enough.

I admit this is really tedious. In v2.7 we plan to add a "Filtered Apps" section where you'll be able to easily manage per-app settings.

Previous beta versions:

v2.6.23 introducing upstream proxy and other features

Hello!

We released a new beta version, which features long-awaited Annoyances filter along with many other changes.

Here’s what’s new in this beta version

Ad Blocking

[Added] Annoyances filter: #594

We have decided to create a new separate filter for irritating elements that disturb users or interfere with web surfing. As you may know, we already have a Social media filter that removes numerous social media widgets and different buttons – “Like”, “Share”, “Tweet” etc. (we are sure you have noticed how many of them are on certain websites). Our new filter will go further in making your surfing even more comfortable.

You can learn more about it in our blog: https://blog.adguard.com/en/adguard-news/annoyances-filter.html

[Fixed] Improved ad blocking in Youtube app: #573

[Fixed] Adguard fails to detect HTML on some websites: #554

Networking

[Added] New low-level setting allowing to block IPv6 traffic in Proxy+Auto filtering mode

It appears that in Proxy+Auto mode Adguard cannot filter IPv6 traffic. As a temporary solution we've introduced new low-level setting "pref.proxy.block.ipv6" allowing to block IPv6 traffic to public networks.

[Changed] Updated default https exclusions list (almost 1k domains there now): #579

[Fixed] Wi-Fi calling in UK EE network does not function if Adguard is active: #582

[Fixed] No HTTPS filtering of Google domains in Chrome browser: #365

UI

[Added] Added Adguard shortcut for fast enabling or disabling Adguard: #481

[Changed] 1-place widget appearance: #481

Compatibility

[Fixed] Outlook mobile app: #560

[Fixed] Openbank: #504

[Fixed] Samsung Theme Store: #571

[Fixed] SimpleNote sync: #540

[Fixed] Wawa: #543

[Fixed] Yelp (cannot complete a transaction): #603

Other changes

[Fixed] Samsung Battery saving feature interferes with Adguard: #378

[Fixed] HTC battery optimization mode interferes with Adguard: #536

[Fixed] License key can be found in the log file: #595

[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
does the annoyances list include the social media buttons, or do I still need the social media list for that?

it's not really clear from the explanations.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
No, it does not, for the sake of flexibility.
[Android Apps and Games] Mayday_XL:
Thanks for the update, now it works with my Speedport Router. [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106]

*** Mayday@Nexus 6P ***
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Splendid:) Have you turned on this new option for blocking IPv6?
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Alright, so I was able to reproduce the problem and capture a HAR file after a got an ad in YouTube. Then I went ahead and cleared the YouTube app's data/cache, and now it's blocking ads properly again.

I'd still like to send you the HAR file anyway to help deduce what causes this and necessitates a data/cache wipe in order to fix it. What would be the best way of getting the file to you?
[Android Apps and Games] Mayday_XL:
Yes [emoji106]

Ads on IMDB app player

Sorry if this question it been asked before, but I use IMDB app to watch movie trailers ,but IMDB player is killing me with all ads on the player. Is Adguard for Android block ads on IMDB app player? if not any other? Thanks

Edited: weird! OP said ''Adguard not blocked ads on imdp app video trailer'' but I just installed Adguard and tested 5 movies trailers and no ads so far..
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Just checked it and it seems that the ads are not blocked. We'll check what can be done about it:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/2253

I'll return here with answer soon.

Have you used this app?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imdb.mobile&hl=en
[Android Apps and Games] el_easy:
This is the app I'm using so far no ads...Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Yep, got it. Don't see any ad metadata in youtube response, so it seems everything is good.

Btw, you can easily see what's inside:

1. Go to http://www.softwareishard.com/har/viewer/

2. Drag&drop the har file there.

Please note, that the current har file may be unfinished (the one named "adguard.har").

You may need to check the very end of the file and add ]}} characters there.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Well, that's odd. YouTube adblocking just flat-out doesn't work anymore. It seemed to be working after I cleared the app data/cache, but the ads have since returned. Not sure what changed. Ads were being shown when I captured that HAR file, so I don't know why you didn't see any ad metadata.

Ads were all being blocked until recently. Let me know if I should send you some other types of logs, because YouTube adblocking definitely no longer works.

UPDATE: Just updated to the even more recent beta, and ads were still being shown. After clearing the app data/cache they are being blocked again. I suspect that they will eventually return, as it was before.

This was a problem in betas from before the HTTPS stable release dropped, and I remember it being fixed. Perhaps some changes on that end since the stable release have borked it?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
[MENTION=4570464]ScOULaris[/MENTION] hm, let's try it once again then.

What should be done:

1. Clear YT app data and cache

2. Turn HAR file recording ON

3. Reproduce the issue, then wait a bit (30 seconds is enough).

4. Get the har files

What do I need after that:

1. All har files recorded.

2. I need to know which video you were trying to watch when the ad appeared.

3. I need to know what was the ad about.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Alright, it'll be a while. Whenever I clear the YT app/cache the adblocking starts working again, but I'm confident that ads will find there way back in later on today.

I am already getting adds for mobile games above the related videos in YouTube whenever I view gaming-related videos. IIRC those should be blocked too.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Alright, I got YouTube to trigger another video ad while recording the HAR file, waited about a minute, and then sent you the file. There was a video ad that played, and there were also several Play Store app ads mixed in with the recent videos.

The video that ultimately triggered the ad was this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQGhZgGjFQI

I hope all of this leads to a solution. I don't wanna go back to Stable, but I miss my reliable YT adblocking. ;)

Sidenote: Is it possible that the DNS Filtering option being enabled could somehow screw with GCM push notifications coming through when on my home Wi-Fi? I had been noticing for quite a while that push notifications would stop coming through whenever I'd get home and my phone would switch from cellular data to my home Wi-Fi, and I had been going crazy trying to diagnose the cause. Restarting the phone tended to fix them until I returned home from work the next day and let the phone reconnect to the Wi-Fi. They were coming through just fine while on cellular data and on my work wi-fi. It was only during the hand-off between cell data and my home Wi-Fi that they would somehow get borked.

So today I downloaded an app called Push Notifications tester and started tweaking variables to see what would break GCM push notifications. So when I switched from cell data to Wi-Fi with Adguard enabled, GCM notifications broke. When I turned Adguard off and did the same, they worked. Then I turned Adguard back on and switch cell/Wi-Fi again... broken. Then I turned off DNS Filtering... working again. Curious, no?
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Alright, after some more testing I am pretty confident in saying that enabling DNS filtering can interfere with push notifications coming through Google Cloud messaging while connected to Wi-Fi. If I have the setting turned on while connected to my home Wi-Fi for a while, eventually push notifications for apps like Gmail and hangouts will stop coming through. If I disable DNS filtering, they immediately start coming through.
[Android Apps and Games] No1VIPER:
For those having issues with the YouTube app ads no longer being blocked. I've found that downgrading to version 11.19.56 of the YouTube app fixes the issue. I've tried a out 7 videos now, and no more ads :D

Update:

The ads are back again :(
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Are you running Adguard stable or beta?
[Android Apps and Games] No1VIPER:
Beta 2.6.67
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Could you revert back to stable and see if they still get through? I'm also trying to determine whether this is being caused by the Adguard betas or changes in YouTube.

Nevermind. I just reverted back to the stable build of Adguard and cleared my YouTube app data. Ads are still coming through. So it looks like something change on the YouTube side of things that breaks Adguard's filtering.
[Android Apps and Games] 0.0:
The widget is broken on the latest beta. There is also two widgets: the older one and the newer (nicer) one. The newer one is broken
[Android Apps and Games] No1VIPER:
I've tried out lots of different combinations now. But I think I've finally found one that works. I'm now using version 2.6.67 of adguard. With version 10.28.60 of the YouTube app. So far I've not come across any ads. If I do though I'll update the information here.
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
Yes yes.. I noticed this too. Hopefully they revert to the new icon theme for the widget and repair its functionality
[Android Apps and Games] calvin35:
Don't know if this will help anyone but I've been running the latest stable of adguard on my stock Note 5 and I haven't seen an ad on YouTube since I installed the update when it came out.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
We've decided to have a widget with this rectangle style and to have a shortcut (doing the same as widget) with a new icon. Shortcut is broken now though, opens AG UI instead of just starting or stopping AG protection.

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 AM ----------

Regarding the YT app ads, something has changed indeed, so for some users the ads are going through now. The problem is that we cannot reproduce this on our side, it seems that the way they serve ads depends on user location.

So, to block these ads I need your help. If you see YT ads with the latest beta, please do the following:

1. Switch AG https filtering into a "whitelist" mode

2. Clear YT app cache and data

3. Record HAR files:

https://kb.adguard.com/index.php?/K...et-har-http-archive-files-from-android-device

4. Send all har files to me. You can use PM or send it by email to devteam at adguard.com.

What do i need to know:

1. What video were you trying to watch when the ad came up?

2. What was the ad about?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
I have just updated AG mobile filters (update will be available in 15 minutes or so).

I think I've found the cause of those YT ads. It appears that I can reproduce it on Android N. So, now I know why I couldn't see anything in the har files. YT downloads and caches ad metadata long before it shows it. That's why I didn't see anything in [MENTION=4570464]ScOULaris[/MENTION] files, I should be examining older HAR files instead of the latest one.

I am not yet sure the problem is fully solved (but I hope it is). So, what to do:

1. Check filter updates, you should receive mobile ads filter update.

2. Clear YT app cache and data. This is a very important step. Q: have anybody checked is it enough to clear cache without clearing data?

3. That's it, ads should be blocked from now on.

Btw, what do you think about us adding an option to clear YT app cache & data while receiving new filter update?
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Thanks for continuing to look into this. I'll test it out later tonight and post my results.

[MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION]

The second widget isn't working with the new update. Tapping it toggles ad blocking, but the widget UI doesn't indicate whether blocking is on or off, but rather only shows the "cycling" indicator
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
That's because it is not a widget, but a shortcut. It cannot be interactive. On the positive side, you can move it to a folder.
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
Can you explain the difference?

And if it's a shortcut that changes an app setting, shouldn't it indicate the current state of that setting?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Widget is an interactive element which can show the current state, change it's appearance and such.

Shortcut is just a static icon that cannot be interactive. It can be a shortcut for a specific action (stop or start AG protection in our case). The only thing we can do to signal what's going on is to show toast message.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
widgets and shortcuts may look alike, but under the hood they're completely different.

a shortcut is nothing more than a link to a specific "page"/function in an app, with a predetermined icon.

these can easily be called from other apps as well(tasker, toggle widgets, gestures, etc.) but can't be changed on the fly.

another benefit is that they can be put in folders.

they're also always 1x1 on the launcher grid.

widgets are an extension of the app's own interface, kinda like a mini app, and can be freely changed by the app.

the downside to this is that an app needs special permission to embed a widget(this permission is used in apps like homescreens/launchers and apps like "snap drawer")

this also means a widget can't be embedded in another widget, and a widget's action can't freely be used by other apps.

microsoft windows has the same:

shortcuts, which always display the same icon and link to the same action.

and gadgets(vista/7) or live tiles(8/10) which can change on the fly depending on the app's status.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
I don't want to stray too far off-topic, but some launchers allow widgets to be placed in folders, too
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
Thanks for the explainers on widgets/shortcuts

IMO the square widget, which is a reversion to an older Adguard version, looks bad compared to the one that was recently removed (and which used the newer iconography, same as the current shortcut)

It's a puzzling UI choice to abandon the new style with the widget. As it stands, the shortcut is kinda useless, since it performs an action but doesn't indicate current state. A user would be better off just adding a standard app launcher shortcut and just opening the full app to toggle the service
[Android Apps and Games] dancrow:
Even so, it works in the past. Something happened with the latest 2 or 3 beta updates.

Is it possible to add romanian easylist in adblock options?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
the shortcut is something completely new, so it couldn't have "worked in the past".

your confusion probably comes from that the shortcut uses an icon that was first used for the widget.

and from what I've read, the reason for changing the widget appearance was confusion.

with the old appearance it wasn't immediately clear for everyone whether it showed the action the widget would trigger, or the current status of adguard.
[Android Apps and Games] 0.0:
I really liked how the current shortcut icon was the widget to toggle Adguard on and off. The current version's widget design looks outdated and looks like Google's old power toggles widget that was in KitKat. Too bad it disappeared after the latest update
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
The problem with this is that there is no good UI guides for creating a 1-place widget. The previous one was confusing, we've got a lot of complaints from people who didn't understand what it is. So, we've returned the old 1-place design. Yeah, it looks like KitKat power toggles, but on the other side, it is absolutely clear what does it do.

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

Planned for v2.7. Meanwhile you can simply import ROList rules to the user filter. That filter is small and rarely updated, so it'll be good until we add it to the default set.
