I disable ad filtering for Telegram in Adguard's firewall.

Same Problem.

24,95 $ for nothing at the Moment. I must Adguard disable so I can chat.

Please fixed immediately. I'm ready to test an Alpha version.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Which filtering mode do you use? Proxy or VPN?

If Proxy, manual or auto?

---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

Ah, you wouldn't face that issue with manual mode, so I assume you use Proxy+Auto.

Try adding Telegram to exclusions list.

Go to "Settings" - "Advanced" - "Low-level", open "pref.net.exclusions" and add Telegram's package name (org.telegram.messenger) there on a new line.

@godly967

Sorry, missed your post.

So, if I get it right, when you turn AG on and connect to home wi-fi, other devices get disconnected?

Which router do you use?
[Android Apps and Games] HorstiG:
It´s in Proxy and VPN Mode.

And I'm not doing anything. I have not bought the license to solve problems alone, sorry thats your part.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
So you have ad filtering disabled for Telegram and it does not work in VPN mode?

That's unusual. One more question: is "Firewall" enabled in "Settings" -> "Firewall"?

Or instead just add it to pref.net.exclusions, it will be fixed for both modes then.

Suggested solution is temporary, but it will fix the situation until we publish a beta version (or at least an alpha).

Could you please also fix the game Evocreo (shop not working), so that i not longer have to disable Adguard over exclusions for the game? Thank you.

[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
According to the description, I suppose this is not a program bug, but some incorrect ad blocking.

I've filed an issue, we'll check which filter causes it:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/ExperimentalFilter/issues/1611
[Android Apps and Games] HorstiG:
After adding it to pref.net, Telegram works. Thank you Grrrrrrr

My work should be rewarded with a 2nd free Lifetime license. ;) :D

Also in VPN Mode
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Two quick questions:

1. On my wife's Nexus 5, she is using the free version of Adguard for now, and whenever she enters battery saver mode she loses all Internet connectivity. If I disable Adguard this does not occur, so I'm thinking it's causal. Any idea what could be causing this?

2. It's the end of the week. Could we be seeing a beta release with the HTTPS filtering soon? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
[MENTION=4570464]ScOULaris[/MENTION]

1. known issue, see if there's an option to add adguard to the exceptions list for battery saving.

2. there's a minor delay, a few issues still need to be addressed before it's ready for public testing.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Oh, no problem, apply for a beta test and consider it's done:)

---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

There're too many issues found during the inner test, not yet ready for beta:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/labels/SSL

I am thinking about publishing an alpha version instead for those who is dare enough to try it (just give us a day or two to prepare the build).
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
whoever wrote that mislabeled it.

that's the changelog for version 2.1.359, which can be downloaded from the adguard website.
[Android Apps and Games] HorstiG:
In order to prevent misunderstandings, I have a lifetime license.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
I suppose that's a fraud.
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
I'm sorry, I didn't realize there was a misunderstanding. Every chance you get, you mention that you have a lifetime license, and because of that, feel that you're entitled to extra goodies in exchange for doing minimal, basic troubleshooting of problems on your own device
[Android Apps and Games] EvanWasHere:
It looks like HTTPS filtering is now working? https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/21

Does this mean that Youtube ad blocking is now working?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
https filtering is working on internal test builds, and has been for a few days now.

however because of some related issues the developers decided it's not ready for public testing yet, so it's not available yet.

avatar_adg did say he might give us a public alpha version soon, although it's likely to still have some problems.
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
I'm actually testing adclear right now as latest version of adguard is getting slower and even causing problems with these xda forums for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Dexter_prog:
gonna try it as well since adguard is not blocking ads on many of my apps now
[Android Apps and Games] EvanWasHere:
Does it block Youtube and/or app ads?

I ordered the S7 Edge and for the first time, won't root (I want to try Samsung Pay).
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
Adclear is supposed to block app ads but the first couple I tried still displayed them. It worked OK on web pages. I reverted quickly to adguard as it blocked all app ads for me, although something has gone slightly amiss with web page ad blocking with latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Hi all!

The public alpha I was talking about has arrived yesterday:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/releases/tag/v2.5.3-alpha

Please take a look at the known issues list, it is pretty huge:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues?q=is:issue+is:open+label:SSL

Youtube in-app ads are not yet blocked:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/314

However, it will be blocked by the time of the beta version release.

[MENTION=6343418]ratbags[/MENTION]

What exactly are these problems?
[Android Apps and Games] Dexter_prog:
me too, haha, but for some reason adguard stopped blocking ads on apps it was (gsam battery monitor, for example)
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
It would be great if you collect & send the logs to us. I don't see any missed ads in gsam battery monitor, on the contrary, I see a lot of blocked requests (mads.amazon-adsystem.com, ads.mopub.com).
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
it's unfortunate that android demands the use of a lockscreen when a root certificate is added by an app(required for https filtering)

i don't like lockscreens(i have a smart flip case for that), but i found a way for people with samsung devices to disable the lockscreen without removing the certificate(also works with vpn connections that require a lockscreen)

first set up adguard the way you like it(including https filtering and the required certificate)

then disable adguard.

now enable findmymobile(requires samsung account).

use http://findmymobile.samsung.com/ to unlock your screen.

and enable adguard.

this works guaranteed on samsung devices up to android 5.1.1, can't test on 6+ yet.

the lockscreen requirement in android only disables the unsecured lockscreen options in the settings screen, so as long as you have a way to change the lockscreen outside the lockscreen settings you can still set unsecured lockscreens even if a feature requires it for security reasons.

i hope google and samsung never fix this "bug".

people who are aware of the security risks shouldn't be forced into using extra security features, especially those as intrusive as a password/pin every time the screen turns on.(fingerprint scanners are too unreliable, it took me a minute to unlock my phone because it wouldn't recognize my thumb and thought i might just be randomly trying severed thumbs)
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
[MENTION=1761297]thedicemaster[/MENTION] great instruction, thank you!

Here is one more thing. If you have root access, Adguard's certificate can be moved from "user" to "system" trusted certificates store:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/334

In this case you won't need a lockscreen and also there won't be an annoying "network may be monitored" notification on every device boot.
[Android Apps and Games] zilan:
Hello, i just buy lifetime license for my pc and phone. But i see it doesnt block ads on BBM (blackberry messenger) feeds. I still can see sponsor ads on feed. Can you please give solution? Im using latest beta 2.5.3 and activated https filtering.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
I need to see a log file with http requests recorded.

To do this:

1. Go to advanced settings and switch logging level to "record http requests"

2. Restart BBM and refresh it somehow to make it reload the ads

3. Go to app, menu -> send feedback ("attach logs" checkbox should be checked).

4. Write in a message something like "for avatar on xda" for support to understand that this message is not for them.

5 .Post here the ticket ID you will get in an autoreply.

I'm currently using a Nexus 6 non rooted phone. So far this is working great. Good job.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
I can see why the https filtering hasn't been released in beta yet.

some websites (bol.com and nedgame.nl among others) get rather frequent loading problems.

error headline is "this page is not available" with error details "java.io.IOException: Internal TLS error, this could be an attack"

these are websites that worked fine before https support, but the pages that throw this error don't use https.

however on the "not always" websites(notalwaysright.com, and affiliated websites) the alpha version seems to work great, it now no longer throws ssl errors and I no longer see the "broken image" icons.
[Android Apps and Games] nibaroga:
it works for ads in applications or only in internet?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
unlicensed it will only block ads for websites.

if you pay for a subscription(or if you activate the 1 week trial) it blocks ads in apps too.
[Android Apps and Games] exodius48:
Ah ~ got it, i missed this version :D

And yes sponsored content on BBM Not blocked

[Added] Blocking video ads in Youtube app

Current solution is temporary. Adguard blocks video ads only (for now).

Important: turn HTTPS filtering on to block YT ads.

[Changed] Added RelayForReddit Pro to the list of browsers (you don't need premium to block ads in this app) #301

[Fixed] Random SSL connection errors #319

[Fixed] Wrong Firewall traffic stats #338

That's what I need (we should definitely add "logs" in the name of this item):

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/341

That's weird, but I don't see any requests sent from com.bbm in the log file.

That's possible if they use some remote port different from 80 and 443, we just don't filter such connections.

Is BBM exclusive to blackberry or I can use it on my android device?

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
indeed, I just visited a website that had issues and I still haven't seen any errors after 20 pages.
[Android Apps and Games] zilan:
no it's not exclusive for blackberry, you can download it from playstore, i also use it on my android device.

[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Found two bugs in SSL filtering while examining this app, thank you:)

But I see no ads in BBM Feeds, I wonder if that's because the feed is too short in my case?
[Android Apps and Games] zilan:
can't wait for the fix :)

yea maybe your feed is too short so it doesn't display ads sponsored. try to add some people on your bbm and when someone change their profile picture, ads will show on feeds.

You know you can "white list" XDA Forums and you would t have that problem anymore.... ?

Developers don't need no stinkin' signature!

If I've been able to help you, please hit the "Thanks" button. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
Much as I like xda, I'd prefer to block the ads. So white listing isn't the answer.

What I mean by adguard causing problems with xda is that it makes page loading sluggish. If I disable adguard and use built in adblock on lightning or speed browser page loading is much quicker.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Main website or forums?

1. Which browser do you usually use?

2. Which filters do you have enabled in AG?

3. What value you have in "Advanced" - "Settings" - "Filtering method"?
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
At the moment I use either Opera or Speed Browser [not on playstore, its a fork of Lightning available at xda].

I use default filters and filtering method [high speed]. I haven't touched those settings. I've turned off phishing protection as I thought it might impact speed.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
So it is English, Spyware, Social, right? Nothing else?

Which part of the XDA is sluggish? Forums or the main website (articles and such)?
[Android Apps and Games] ratbags:
English, spy ware, useful, mobile. Forums are sluggish. To be honest, I think it might be a recent update as its gotten worse quite recently. I updated on Amazon a couple of weeks ago. EDIT: using lucid browser, browsing speed is better so maybe it's something to do with the other browsers.

Hi,

Hello. Adguard on my phone is being turned off maybe every 15-30 seconds. I have the notification icon shown. It happens when I have free memory and I do nothing with my phone, it's just laying on my desk. Don't you have any ideas please? I really liked it, when it worked and I'd maybe consider a premium version if it worked. I'm using LG G2 stock rom with Android 5.0 and the latest version of Adguard. Thank you.

Hi!

According to the log file, the issue is seems to be caused by some other VPN-based app.

The following record in a log means that other VPN is trying to start:

18:24:57.123 [Binder_2] INFO c.a.a.f.vpn.FilteringVpnService - Revoking vpn service

Try removing Opera Max temporary to see if it is a cause.
[Android Apps and Games] muraj238:
Thanks, it seems to work. Never thought it could cause problems when it was off.

Can I have another question please? Can I somewhere watch my 4G data usage? In Adguard there is only all data usage, 4G together with wifi and in the system I will see all data usage consumed by Adguard, ain't I wrong?

To those of you testing the alpha, how is the HTTPS filtering working thus far? I really only plan on using it for YouTube, so hopefully the blacklist functionality that was mentioned a few months ago will end up in there.

How do I whitelist the Google supported search entries? Like the one that says "Ad" on the screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Yeah, me too:) Seems that this is an Opera Max bug, could you please report it to them?

Currently that's not possible as we don't divide bandwidth stats on cellular and wi-fi in AG. But we'll change this in future releases.

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

Just add www.google.com to the whitelist in AG settings.

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

I am testing it and it's pretty good:)

I think next public build may be stable enough for beta test.

Blacklist functionality is already there, yet the list is empty by default. We want to add some nasty domains there by default (you'd be able to remove them manually of course):

As [MENTION=1761297]thedicemaster[/MENTION] has said there is a "blacklist" mode when AG filters ONLY domains from the blacklist.

To block YT ads it's enough to have "googleapis.com" in that list.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Ooh, I have a great idea! How about... just hear me out for a second...

How about you push the HTTPS filtering build to beta today so you can get a bunch of new test feedback from beta users (like myself)? It's so crazy it just might work. ;)

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

This is an Android bug, fixed since Lollipop (for some manufacturers fixed since Android 5.1).

I prefer VPN. However, proxy mode should be lighter on the battery.

Could you please collect AG logs for me?

Here is an instruction:

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

I'll need to know the ticket ID (you'll get it in autoreply).

I still don't see ads in BBM Feeds so I guess I need your help to figure it out.

At least now I understand why I haven't seen BBM requests in the previous logs. It seems that the app was not stopped before you've tried to refresh the feed.

Could you please collect requests logs one more time using this new instruction:

1. Go to advanced settings and switch logging level to "record http requests"

2. Force stop BBM through Android settings -> Apps -> BBM

3. Start BBM again and refresh the feeds until you see the ads

4. Force stop BBM through Android settings -> Apps -> BBM. We need to repeat this step to force Android close all BBM network connections.

5. Go to app, menu -> send feedback ("attach logs" checkbox should be checked).

6. Write in a message something like "for avatar on xda" for support to understand that this message is not for them.
