Usually Android checks internet connectivity by sending a request to some "/generate_204" URL on behalf of a "CaptivePortalLogin" app. I am not sure if this is the culprit, but anyway, first thing I'd like to suggest is to disabling Adguard for that app. Go to settings -> apps management -> find CaptivePortalLogin and uncheck "Enabled" there.

Second thing to try is to convert Adguard into a DNS-level ad blocker like it is described here:

https://blog.adguard.com/en/great-battery-saving-mode-of-adguard-for-android/

What I'd like to understand is if it depends on mere VPN presence or on the filtering of some particular app.

You've also done a great job of collecting all types of logs, I appreciate it. But there's one more thing I'd like to get for analysis. Could you please collect Adguard's full log as well as it is described in this article: https://kb.adguard.com/index.php?/K.../collecting-a-full-log-on-adguard-for-android

I hope that in this log I'll see these "probing" generate_204 requests sent when you connect to Wi-Fi or 3G/4G and figure out which app sends them. I'll also need to know when exactly the exclamation mark appeared, so that I know where to look inside of the log.

Do you have the same issue?
[Android Apps and Games] troyolson92:
yes sir. connectivity issues are intermittent.

is there a way to allow google ads? the first two or three links that shows up on google search?

Something is up with in app ads. They are now getting past Adguard. VPN is better than HTTP Proxy but the ads are persistent.

Some apps show full screen ads like the one below. I have a feeling that they come from the same server as the ad is always the same on my end, dependent on location too.

Clearing cache and updating filter are not doing anything. I've already reported the issue.

Can you please add support for the YouTube for Android TV app?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.youtube.tv&hl=en

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube-for-android-tv/

This app is ideal for Android boxes because it can easily be controlled with a remote and doesn't require a mouse or touchpad. Enabling Adguard with HTTPS filtering on the device causes the YouTube for Android TV app to crash every time the user attempts to play a video. This YouTube app doesn't receive many updates so it probably won't be much of a hassle to deal with.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
We may need to release a hotfix today or tomorrow. There's an issue with how we exclude routes from VPN, causing some troubles when you're on Wi-Fi. It could be missed ads, broken wi-fi calling and FTP.

[MENTION=5039384]kyzn[/MENTION] [MENTION=2591276]tmzbeme[/MENTION]

I suppose it'd be better to retest your issues (if you're on wi-fi).

Hotfix will be available soon through the beta update channel.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

Does it help to turn https filtering off for that app?

Filed a bug report:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/965
[Android Apps and Games] GabbyWC:
If HTTPS filtering is disabled for the YouTube for Android TV app, then videos play but so do video ads. It's worth mentioning that you don't need an Android box to install this app because the APK can be sideloaded on to an Android phone or tablet.

By the way, your bug report on GitHub contains an XDA "reply to" link which should be changed to http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-g...quire-root-t2958895/post69932793#post69932793 for proper visibility.

Adguard for Android v2.8.76

Hello!

Only yesterday have we released an urgent hotfix for Adguard v2.8, and today there is going to be another one. It is not normal when such things happen, we realize it, and want to apologize to all of you. We'll do our best to avoid such situations in future.

The most major problem concerned one of the low-level settings - pref.vpn.ipv4.bypass, which, as the name suggests, allows to disable filtering for all ipv4 traffic. It was simply missing in the latest release version.

Along with the problem above, a couple of other issues were addressed.

Does this newest version have the capability to block YouTube ads operaing in 7.1.1?
[Android Apps and Games] mroneeyedboh:

It didn't have the capability to completely block YouTube ads since 7.0.

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 AM ----------

I'd say AdAway is still better. Adguard gives more options.

---------- Post added at 02:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 AM ----------

Speaking of ads. The newest version still can't block ads within certain apps that use Google ads. They're back in full force.

Clearing cache will remove them for a bit and then they'll be back after a while. I just went ahead and purchased pro licenses for the apps in question because I got fed up with them.

This is just so weird, we are missing something here. I'd like to investigating this issue, but i'll need your help with it.

First of all, could you please reset settings to default (just to check that the issue has nothing to do with your settings).

Then enable "record everything" logging level and keep it until the google ad reappears in any of the problematic apps.

I'll need to get your AG logs (/sdcard/Android/data/com.adguard.android/cache/logs) + the app name.

I want to test in that to cross verify whether issue is really in my phone or in the latest version...
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
As far as App preview messages, that's located under Settings > Google. When adblocking is enabled for Google Play Services, it says there is no internet connection. With adblocking disabled, it works properly and enables the feature for receiving Allo messages without requiring Allo to be installed.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
This more or less explains the issue. It seems that OS restricts Adguard from using network.

I suppose you're on MIUI right? Please check that Adguard is still in the exceptions:

[MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION] so I haven't seen any ads lately. It seems it was app setting I turned off after all. I'm running on default settings and the ads are getting blocked again. Thanks for the help.

In other news, can I upgrade my 1+1 license to a 2+2? Or do I need to buy a new 1+1 license?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
The point is not that "nothing is going outside" as in this case you won't be able to connect to any website.

"Local" means that traffic is filtered right on your device and is not "proxied" through some remote server.

The easiest way to check this statement is to check your IP address. Open http://whatismyipaddress.com/ (or any other website like that) with and without Adguard and check that IP address stays the same.

Also I'd be glad if somebody conduct an audit of our privacy policy. The easiest way to do it is to use fiddler to intercept and decrypt requests to mobile-api.adguard.com.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

Not sure if this has been discussed but it would be great if the following features could be added.

1) A way to save the config to google drive, local sd card

3) A way of toggling if newly installed apps go through the firewall or not

I'm still seeing ads in the ESPN app v5.4.1, which targets Nougat.

I have HTTPS certificate renamed and moved to /system, per instructions in the last comment here: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/334 "Enable HTTPS Filtering on Android Nougat"

Right now I have filtering set on High Quality, but ads still come through. Also, there are times when an ad is blocked, but there's still leftover graphics on the page. This happens in the Google Play Newsstand app also.

Please advise- Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jkcs:
No Bro, I wasn't referring to the apps but to the features it provided. Now the app can block ads from any browsers and maybe some apps (i did not thoroughly test all my apps yet). I don't want to spend money buying a product that may be useless after some period down the road.

Take for example an app call 3g Mananger, it used to work without rooting until android 5.0.

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] hasan4791:
Got it what ur asking. Since this app uses VPN and the basic functionality of vpn i dont think so google can change this in future as it may affect other vpn apps too... Somebody pls correct me if its wrong...
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
Good question. It may happen in the future that Google will remove VPN feature.

But all products have that risk I think. Nothing last forever.

For example, you buy a expensive smartphone, but after some period of time you don't want to use it again because no support/update available again.
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
You just described everything in life. Nothing lasts forever. Even beloved products call it quits. For myself, I ask myself this, when it worked was it worth it? As the guy said before me, you aren't still using the same smartphone you bought years ago, aren't you?

AdGuard and other ad blocking apps aren't going away in the near future. But there is always a chance that they could go away. You never know, maybe several years down the road, the internet in its entirety would be subscription based.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
1) We're working on a "sync" feature right now. We'll support different ways of syncing: through a file/drive/dropbox/etc, through AG personal account.

2) Yep, planned on v3.0 (or maybe earlier, we'll see).

3) You can set default permissions in AG firewall settings. Is it what you want?

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

In theory AG should detect that certificate is moved to the system store and filter https as it did before.

However, we'd better recheck it on our side:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/979

Also we need to come up with a normal instruction on how to overcome Nougat restrictions.

Currently the information is in a number of different places.
[Android Apps and Games] daleski75:
For point 3 under Firewall Defaults something along the lines of.

All applications to go through the firewall

If someone like myself who only wants adguard to block ads on certain apps having to turn that feature off for every new app I install is something I would like to avoid so a toggle would be perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Huh, the question is a bit vague:) Of course we will do our best to resolve all the future issues.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
What they can do is to change android api and mess with ad blocking as a whole.

I makes perfect sense, so we'll think about proper implementation:

No, I got Samsung Note 1 and I am using it for other purpose (not my daily driver phone)

of course not, when I recontract with local telco, they gave subsidy (how much is dependent of the type of plan subscribed plus trade-in value, also dependent of the age/model of the phone)

[Android Apps and Games] aaronchi24:
I love the idea of this app. Only problem is that I can't get it to work! When I turn it on in VPN mode, phone acts like there is no Internet connection. In HTTP proxy mode, all web requests time out.

And idea what might be going on? Installed on a rooted xperia z5 compact with latest MM.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
It means license for desktop Adguard products: either Adguard for Windows or Adguard for Mac.

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

As I recall, Sony provides some sort of a battery saving mode named "Stamina". In this mode it forbids network access for all background apps including Adguard. So, traffic is redirected to Adguard, which cannot access network and it looks like net access is blocked for you.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] tco:
Here is what I did to create a cab that will build mail settings:

1)create a text file for the provisioning of the account. Name the text file _setup.xml

Here is the provisioning document that I used for IMAP. (note the characteristic type is a GUID that I made up) You need to edit this doc for youir server/user settings.

<wap-provisioningdoc>

<characteristic type="EMAIL2">

<characteristic type="{12984356-1211-3753-6011-103170112174}">

<parm name="SERVICENAME" value="Account Name"/>

<parm name="NAME" value="yourname" />

<parm name="AUTHNAME" value="yourmailloginname"/>

<parm name="AUTHSECRET" value="password"/>

<parm name="DOMAIN" value=""/>

<parm name="REPLYADDR" value="yourmailname@yourdomain.com"/>

<parm name="LINGER" value="15" />

<parm name="RETRIEVE" value="2048" />

<parm name="KEEPMAX" value="300" />

<parm name="DWNDAY" value="3" />

<!-- "DWNDAY" value="3": retrieve messages only retrieved on inbox within last 3 days-->

<!-- "KEEPMAX" value="25": max of 25 email will be retieved -->

<!-- "RETRIEVE" value="2048": only 2k of each email will retrieved at the begin, aftherwards automatic download of the email

(it's also possibe to set retrieving to: header only) -->

</characteristic>

</characteristic>

</wap-provisioningdoc>

2) you then need to create the cab file using _setup.xml.

You need to have makecab.exe from the wm5 sdk. If you don't have it...google to find it.

Here is the command...

makecab /D COMPRESS=OFF _setup.xml mail.cab

I turned off compression....from what I read PPC does not support it.

3) Move the cab using Windows explorer or Memory cards. The MS docs state that Active Sync should not be used.

4) run the cab.

If you need POP3, google wap-provisioningdoc and pop3...you'll fine more examples.

Once again...thanks to Pof for pointing me in the right direction.
