One more thing: firewall also is free. For some apps it's enough to restrict net access to block all ads.

Version 2.1.240

Hello all!

We have just released new version of Adguard for Android. This time we focused on networking speed and overall stability. So what’s changed?

Multiple TCP stack improvements

(#92, #98)

Previously there were problems with downloading large files, especially from Google Play. It is not the case anymore, you don’t have to disable Adguard just to update your favorite app or download a new game.

Overall performance improvement

With recent changes Adguard has become faster, more stable and less resourse consuming. It was possible due to optimization of several ‘bottleneck’ situations.

Other changes:

Moved firewall icons-cache to Cache folder to be able to clear it from app settings

Fixed unnecessary restart of protection in Proxy mode #90

Proxy mode: DNS cache is now flushed on network reconnect #91

Multiple GUI improvement in Low-Level Settings #94, #96, #97, #103

A new preference “pref.vpn.capture” added (#97) to low-level settings. If this setting is enabled, Adguard will create the special file named «tun.pcap». It contains all network packets transferred through the VPN. This file is located in the app cache directory, and can be analyzed with the Wireshark program.

Update channel options are hidden for Amazon builds #102

Fixed handling of HTTP CONNECT requests without Host header #113

Small UI fix on Send Feedback screen #118

Added new localizations: Czech, French, Turkish, Serbian, Spanish #125

Release notes on github:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/releases/tag/2.1.240.

If using same domain, why still can't bypassed?
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Hello!

We do not filter youtube application for ads.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
That's at the core of his question, which is effectively: Why do you not filter ads in YouTube?
[Android Apps and Games] exodius48:
Why bro?

Nah...i will ask for it.. haha
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
YouTube retrieves ads over https, and doesn't trust user certificates.

in order to filter https adguard needs its own certificate installed as a user certificate.

so filtering ads in YouTube would result in YouTube failing to connect as it can't establish a trusted connection.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
I actually have AdGuard's cert installed in the system store (courtesy of Magisk), and I still see ads in YouTube. And that's even with pref.root.clear.youtube set under Advanced → Low Level Settings.

Shouldn't it work in this configuration?
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Youtube application is highly encrypted one, but there is an option to move the certificate to the system.

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

It does, try to re-install youtube application.
[Android Apps and Games] exodius48:
How to do that? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Looks under HTTPS Filtering.
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
For this procedure, you must have root access on your mobile device.

When you will have root open AdGuard -> HTTPS Filtering-> Certificate status->Move to the system store.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Hi guys, it seems that I missed A LOT again. I'll try to catch up.

Is Filtering Log not enough? The information there is quite detailed.

Apps management is supposed to be such a place, but apparently, it's not enough.

Would you like to have something more detailed on the main screen?

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

The only downside is that DNS-level filtering might be not very manageable.

Here's an example:

There's an issue with a popular Taiwanese website that is caused by blocking Google Analytics. On DNS level, we cannot unblock GA just for this website. It is either blocked everywhere or not blocked everywhere, there's no compromise. So that's it, to make that website work users from Taiwan have to manually unblock GA via the user filter.

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

It is, but there are some minor issues (not affecting overall performance) that are about to be resolved in the upcoming v2.12.

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

Could you please try adding bbm.blackberry.com to the HTTPS whitelist and let me know if it helps?

Settings -> HTTPS filtering -> Whitelist -> add bbm.blackberry.com on a new line

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

Hm, this must be still an overlay issue, there's no other explanation (a very popular question and the answer is always the same).

Have you tried rebooting your device?

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------

First of all, due to HTTPS filtering limitations on Android 7+: https://adguard.com/en/blog/android-nougat-release-and-what-does-it-mean-for-adguard-users/

Gmail HTTPS traffic can be filtered, but it is encrypted and filtering ads out is quite hard.

Youtube - HTTPS traffic can be filtered if you move the certificate to the system store.

The problem is that even when the certificate is moved to the system store, AG cannot remove some of the pre-roll ads. They use a very complicated protocol and we are yet to figure what exactly should be removed from there.

Eventually, we will return to this question. Currently, our time is consumed by integrating with the new filtering engine (codename CoreLibs), which is faster, better, cross-platform (supposed to be used in AG for Mac/Win as well). Once we finish the integration on every platform, we'll get back to YT/Google issues.

On a positive side - CoreLibs engine comes to Android first and it will happen really soon, maybe even in the next nightly build. I've been using the CoreLibs-integrated build for a few days already and so far I am happy with it: everything works faster, CPU usage down x2, some of the old bugs we were struggling with are now resolved.
[Android Apps and Games] flipmode_11:
G'day [MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION]! Thanks for your response. I appreciate how busy you are. :)

I think you missed the full sentence of that you quoted - the most important part of the sentence!

1. Transparency - i.e. show a table - apps that have had connections blocked plus malicious connections, so you can remove them.

Currently, what gets blocked is lost after 10 minutes and cannot be found again.

2. Please show how many times a list was "triggered" from the rules (Today, Week (last 7 Days), Month (last 30 Days) & All Time). i.e. Privacy Subscription List 250 times Today, AdGuard Easy List 500 times Today. Therefore I know both are very useful. However Mobile Filter may have 10 Times this 7 Days, so I should disable this filter to save memory and improve performance. Or Annoyances Filter - perhaps 0 blocked/filtered in past 7 Days. The point being to show which lists are used and how many times the rules were used from that list (just the list, not specific for rules).

Currently, there is no way to know whether the selected lists are actually being used, i.e. if they are blocking connections to servers or web page content, etc.

2b. Please add option to Show/Hide 'Allowed' Connections on the Filtering Page. This means you do not have to visit the settings page and can see ONLY the blocked TCP/UDP connections.

3. Auto-update never auto-updates on Samsung Galaxy or X96 or H96. Must press it manually and it updates 5-6 lists.

I also receive no beta update notificaitons, despite having a beta version already installed, and Settings > Advanced > Update CHannel > Beta.

4. Please add option to auto-block / disable the internet connection, until the AdGuard service is up and running. e.g. Early Start Service that prevents TCP/UDP/All traffic until AdGuard has initiated and completed loading...

5. Please add Settings > White List > Menu > "Export" & "Import" - similar to User Filter.

6. How can you use Local Proxy so that it properly filters everything, similar to VPN mode? Last time I switched to Proxy mode, it did not seem to be accurately filtering and blocking apps. Anything else that needs to be configured?

Thanks! :D

Statistics page!!! FULL stats, you know?[MENTION=6150471]avatar_adg[/MENTION] if you are familiar with opkg pixelserv-tls package for dd-wrt.	Or if you are familiar with AccuBattery from the	playstore or BBS - please add the ability, if possible, for users to access a kind of hidden page or something with details about what's been blocked. IDK, ATM[my perspective), its like, the current	stats page is just filler or fluff.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
So basically you'd like us to add a "Blocked threats" field to the App details screen, right?

Filed a feature request, I'll think about it:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1892

Do you mean the Filtering Log?

Could you please export AdGuard logs and send them to devteam at adguard.com?

We'll check if it's a bug or not.

This can be configured in the Android VPN settings (available on Android Oreo or newer).

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1653

The Proxy mode is on par with the VPN mode with a single exception -- DNS filtering might be not working if your system DNS is IPv6.

But it will be stated in the changelog.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Ah, it must be the pre-roll ads that I'm still seeing. What about pref.root.clear.youtube? Is that still needed to filter normal ads in YouTube?

I can't wait to try this out. Great work.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
In the last few days, I upgraded my Tab S3 tablet to Oreo and migrated from SuperSU to Magisk. I'm sorry to say that the phenomenon of the ultra-slow AdGuard initialisation has now hit this device.

So, it's fixed on my S9+, but not on my Tab S3. Whatever the issue is, it seems very device-specific.
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Yes, it is a useful tool to clear cache in youtube application if you do not have root access to install the certificate into the system storage.

For this issue you can try to set up pref.boot.startup.delay 5 or 10 in AdGuard - Settings - Advanced - Low-level settings. If you saying it's very specific on your devices.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
OK, so no point having that option set if you do have root?

10 is the default, anyway, but changing it on the Tab S3 makes no difference. AdGuard always takes at least a couple of minutes to start. Until the latest nightly (2.12.34) fixed the issue for my S9+, changing this setting made no difference on that device, either.
[Android Apps and Games] tinko975:
How to block youtube adds onnon rooted device? Galaxy S9 exynos..
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Get YouTube Vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
This option is quite helpful anyway, just to get out all cached ads.

For Galaxy Tab S3 you can try to set 5, and watchdog period should be 5 too. (for example) Samsung devices are little unpredictable.

You just need to go AdGuard - HTTPS Filtering - Installed into the user certificate store - Move to the system store.

Something broke search prediction in chrome. It was working fine 4 hours ago, so my guess is something related to filter updates. Prediction works on turning adguard off.

Android 6.0.1

Nexus 5

Https system certificate

Edit: working again issue continues
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
I can't reproduce it on the nightly build. I also have the HTTPS certificate installed to system. What version of Chrome? I'm using v67.

Android 8.1

Nexus 6P
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
I'm on stable release.

Chrome 67

Also, not just prediction entire Google domin is blocked in Chrome for me can't search Google without pausing adguard.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
I never had that happen on the stable or beta release, either. I would disable all your user filters (if applicable) and filter lists one by one to see what's causing it.
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
It's something related to https filtering because as soon as i stop https filtering Google prediction & search start working correctly
[Android Apps and Games] jineshpatel30:
for some reason it got resolved automatically today, all things working correctly
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
That's weird, but always a good news:)

Please keep your eye on it and let me know if the issue continues.
[Android Apps and Games] BabylonDreams:
Hey guys.

Just want you to know that Amazon has decided to implement the same policies as Google Play. Adguard has been removed from the Amazon store.

https://adguard.com/en/blog/goodbye-amazon/
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
This came to the nighly build last night, so I'm already running it on a couple of devices. I have no quantifiable data to report on, but it seems to be running very well.

Is there any particular area where I might notice a significant performance gain? If CPU usage is halved, presumably I may notice something with my battery usage, but AdGuard was already every efficient before this change.
[Android Apps and Games] BabylonDreams:
[MENTION=7187684]ianmacd[/MENTION]

yep, the best place to look at is Adguard's own battery usage estimate
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
After a full day of use, I'm seeing a few problems with the new CoreLibs engine. The XDA Labs app has problems pulling data over the wire, as do one or two others. Turning off HTTPS filtering seems to help some apps, but not XDA Labs.

Not much to go on, I know. I need to gather some real data, but I haven't had time yet.
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Hello!

Thank you for provided information, this issue will be eliminated.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
After some more testing, yes, there's definitely something wrong with HTTPS filtering. I have turned it off globally, which fixes most apps, but not XDA Labs.

Hello!

Are you using latest nightly?
[Android Apps and Games] exodius48:
Hello,

I'm using stable version AdGuard v2.11.81
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Yes, that works. Thank you. However, I'm curious why this user filter wasn't needed for the old engine. Do you know? Just curious.

I see there's already a new nightly: 2.12.52. Either this one or the one just a few hours before (2.12.51) seems to have fixed HTTPS filtering. It's working as expected again, and I have now re-enabled the feature globally.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Check AdGuard's own battery stats and compare it to what you had in the stable version. The change is noticeable.

Also please note, that there's no more "high speed" filtering method. The new engine is fast enough to get rid of it and use "high quality" everytime.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

That's due to a bug in the new engine: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/CoreLibs/issues/324

There was no such bugs in the stable so that's why :)

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

Try resetting everything to default and enabling it again:

1. Android settings -> Security -> Clear credentials

2. Clear AdGuard's app data as well

3. Reboot the device

Here's a short report on the current state of things with the nightly build and CoreLibs:

Many thanks to the beta/nightly testers. Your feedback is invaluable! Over 20 new bugs were filed, 12 of them are still open: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/CoreLibs/milestone/3

Known issues:

1. The most annoying issue is the one that breaks the XDA app: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/CoreLibs/milestone/3 It will be resolved in the next nightly (expect it on Wednesday).

2. There's another annoying random bug that cripples AdGuard sometimes -- it hangs while stopping protection: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/CoreLibs/issues/330

Other than that, it works well. Surprisingly well for such a huge rework.

Just so that you understand, the old engine was 150k lines of code.

Latest Nightly 2.12.60 still preventing XDA app from working even though log shows nothing being blocked.

Using an ANS UL40 non rooted with 7.1.1 Nougat
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Yes, this one definitely doesn't fix the problem, but sadly the change log doesn't suggest that the issue was even tackled in this release. It must be quite a complex one to fix.

It's not just XDA either, of course. YouTube is affected. APKPure downloads are affected; and no doubt a million other things that other people use.

That's the nature of snapshots, of course. And bugs: they are always more involved and take longer to fix than you at first think. We just have to be patient (or go back to beta and production releases).
[Android Apps and Games] xdarkstar:
That's weird. latest nightly solved the XDA app issue for me. There is no triggering of webrtc rule which caused the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
It's working for me now, too. I suspect I didn't test it properly.

The other sites I mentioned still do not work. A different problem, perhaps.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Not for me. I'm sticking with 2.12.34 for now.
[Android Apps and Games] rjm831:
Noob question, but where are the old nightlys? Should probably revert to the older version you mention.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
I'm actually not sure. I backup each build with ML Manager Pro in case I want to revert to an older one. I uploaded it to Dropbox:

AdGuard_2.12.34.apk
[Android Apps and Games] rjm831:
Thank you. I'll give it a shot.

if https filtering disabled then what the essential function of adguard blocking ads in bbm? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
If it's the same with it excluded, then AdGuard isn't causing the issue. Turning off HTTPS Filtering for only BBM was a troubleshooting step, not a solution.
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Dears,

We have a bug in our Nightly versions (2.12.60n - 2.12.71n) - auto update is broken and will be fixed after next Nightly version.

For now, you can update to the latest Nightly manually by downloading and installing it.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
If I now manually download the latest version from the nightly URL, it identifies itself as 2.12.71. Is this a fixed 2.12.71, or still the old version with the bug?

And you say that auto-update was broken in all versions from 2.12.60, but I auto-updated from a 2.12.6x version to 2.12.71 last night.

I'm confused .:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Yes, if you will download and install it manually it will work fine. The bug is that some new features and packages cannot be auto-updated.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
I'm not sure that answers the question. Are you saying that the previous 2.12.71 I installed last night was only a partial version?
[Android Apps and Games] BaronKrause:
Will this be an issue that fixes itself with the next nightly update, letting us update from 2.12.60n to it, or will we still need to update manually?

If we still need to update manually out of 2.12.60n, do you have a apk link to 2.12.71n or whatever might be the latest dev version now? I can't find any links to the dev branch on github or this threads main page (or did you mean we need to uninstall, then reinstall the standard stable branch and then change the channel to dev).
[Android Apps and Games] TheHasagi:
Some sort of, that's why the better way is to download the latest Nightly 2.12.71n from here - https://agrd.io/android_nightly.
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Well, I've done that, but it appears to be identical to the version of the same number that I was running since last night anyway.

Anyway, it's still working. That's the main thing.
