I'm using the current version of adguard and have a lifetime subscription.

I've been frustrated the last couple of days with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Calendar not syncing properly. I'd add events to either google calendar via the web or an exchange calendar via outlook (that I have set up on the phone using a native exchange account) and events would never appear on the phone. When I went into the phone accounts, it should no recent sync activity for either google calendar or the exchange account.

Today, I disabled adguard while testing a different ad blocker. I forgot re-enable it after and I just realized that my calendars are syncing properly again.

I'm not 100% sure it's the culprit and I need to do a little more testing, but, initially, it sure seems that's what's going on. The timing certainly is right as well as it does seem that I've had calendar issue since about the time I installed adguard.

Is is possible that adguard is the culprit here. Are there any settings that I could use that might stop adguard from blocking my calendar sync?
[Android Apps and Games] lexluthor:
Uninstall, Reinstall seems to have fixed my issue with the calendar sync. Perhaps it wasn't even with adguard or perhaps I ticked off something I shouldn't have

the first time.

I'll continue to monitor, but it's been good for almost a day now and I have adguard running.
[Android Apps and Games] SamFis:
Hi, I'm using Adguard since lots of time and it is great! When I was surfing the net I found a very interesting page that says I can get Adguard premium for free if I suggest it to 4 people.

So I suggested to my 5 friends to install Adguard on their smartphones but the recommendation counter is still at 0. So I installed Adguard to my mother's smartphone and still showing 0. How can I make it work? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Phrodini:
It would have to have the dev of the app involved somehow to know of special offers. From my experience with getting a premium app for free is usually from Google plus communities.
[Android Apps and Games] SamFis:
Sorry, I forgot to link the site. It seems to be the official Adguard Website.

https:// adguard.com/en/get-adguard-for-free.html
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
They'll need to sign up and install Adguard using your referral link. Must have never used Adguard in the past and use the app for at least 30 minutes. And not using the same IP address. Did all your referrals tick all the requirements.

Alternatively, Adguard also offers premium licenses if you sign up to be a beta tester.
[Android Apps and Games] SamFis:
Of course they followed all the rules. I also tried with my mother's smartphone and still showing 0. How can I became a beta tester?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
I'd also suggest you trying Adguard's "Annoyances filter".

This is possible if certificates storage is "damaged" in Android. I've had this issue once. Cannot reproduce it, though, so I can't file a bug report to Google.

So, what has to be done:

1. Go to settings -> security -> tap clear credentials there

2. Open Adguard, tap "Exit"

3. Open is again and reinstall HTTPS certificate.

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

This is a known Pixel issue:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/856

It seems that now on tap is broken by mere VPN presence.

[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
As another data point, I'd like to share that I'm using Adguard VPN with HTTPS filtering enabled and do not have the issue with Google Assistant (the "You are offline" message, broken Screen Search / Can't connect to Google).

A question to ask would be whether disabling VPN alone solves the problem. Another question would be what version of Google app is being used. I'm running v6.5.31, but when I update to v6.6.21 I get the "You are offline" business. In Play Store listing for Google app I uninstalled the update and unchecked Automatic updates until the bug can be resolved, but it's not entirely clear to me that this is a simple VPN conflict. It could also be something introduced in the updated Google app.

Nexus 6P

7.1.1 Developer Preview

Google Assistant build prop mod
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
This issue is specific to Pixel. I am also Nexus 6P + 7.1.1 user and it appears we have different assistant:)

Also it is not abut "Google App", it is about Pixel's "now on tap" which is part of it's launcher (I suppose so).
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
What version of Google app do you have?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
6.6.21.21.arm64
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
I'm pretty sure Assistant is baked into the Google app, regardless of device

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

Are you having issues with Assistant going offline?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Nope, and I never had.

Let's check it: how exactly do you bring Assistant up? Do you mean the "Ok, google" thing?

It's just in Pixel's case Assistant seems to be more "functional".
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
I activate Assistant with an "OK Google" hotword (screen on or off), or by long pressing the Home soft key. Once activated, the listening service begins, or you can swipe up for Screen Search. To my understanding this is identical to how Assistant functions on Pixels-
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
As I understand, the problem everybody has is with long pressing Home button.

It's a bit different now, looks more like Siri:

https://youtu.be/ZFW0BO2T-cQ?t=3m16s
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
That's exactly how my Assistant works! Visually & functionally-
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Ah, ok, I got it now:).

In order to make it working I should root it first and then do some magic:

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/guide-how-to-enable-google-assistant-t3477879
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
So I think it might be a VPN issue.

I shut off the Adguard VPN, toggled Airplane Mode, and then Google Assistant worked correctly (i.e. it didn't say "You are offline").

Then I turned the Adguard VPN back on, and now Assistant is saying "You are offline" again. Even though it says "You are offline," it still processes voice searches, but it will not process a Screen Search.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
This! Exactly what others complaint on.

Could you please record & send a full log to us? I'd like to compare it with what others have sent.
[Android Apps and Games] silvertrain78:
I've never sent a log before. What I did was recreate the bug, and then "Send feedback" from the Adguard app -- is this correct?

---------- Post added at 10:34 ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 ----------

.. But I will say again that this issue is not present on Google app v6.5.31, which I believe is the stock version bundled w/Android 7.1.1.

My...

Nexus 6P(Android 7.1.1): Google app v6.5.31arm64 (stock version w/7.1.1), Adguard VPN enabled, no issue with Assistant at all

...But then when I update Google app via Play Store to v6.6.21arm64 = problems w/connecting to Google, Screen search, Voice search is OK

Nexus 5 (Android 7.1 ROM): Google app v6.7.16arm (stock version included w/ROM, cannot downgrade), Adguard VPN enabled, Assistant "You are offline," cannot perform Screen search, Voice search is OK

EDIT: formatting, extra context

---------- Post added at 11:16 ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 ----------

I changed ad blocking method to automatic Proxy mode (because I have root), and now Adguard plays nice w/Assistant (Nexus 5, 7.1 ROM, Google app v6.7.16arm).

I'm still of a mind that thinks the problem lies with BOTH the current Google app version (6.6.x+), and how it interacts w/VPN.

---------- Post added at 11:20 ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 ----------

One way to see that the issue is somewhat related to Google app is for Pixel (or 6P 7.1.1 DP) users to go to Play Store, uninstall Google app update (which rolls back to the factory version), long press Home key to again initiate Assistant setup, and then turn on Adguard VPN. My guess is that there won't be a problem..
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Almost, you should also switch logging level before doing it:

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

Also I'll need your customer ID (you'll get it in an autoreply) in order to find the ticket on our side.

It could be depend on a region. It might be very well possible, that Assistant does not speak my native language yet:)

Assistant's code is not open, so it's hard to say what's wrong there.

Pixels might have a different Google app version, though.

Hi, why is it impossible to install the https certificate into Firefox BETA?

Adguard 2.7.220 on SM-925F (S6 edge) on Android Stock 6.0.1

When I tap on the menu item for installing in Firefox in settings, I can only select Chrome. See screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
samsung meddling.

samsung decided you only ever need 1 app for any task, so the moment you choose to use a certain app for a certain task it is set as default.

with browsers they take it even further, once a default browser is set all other browsers are hidden from other apps.

so in order to install the certificate you need to clear chrome as your default browser.
[Android Apps and Games] Tatsch:
Thanks, this helped.

UPDATE: The latest Google beta (v6.8.14) takes care of the VPN issue, confirming that the app had some responsibility for the bug.

I've tested Adguard's VPN on 2 Assistant-enabled devices, and both are working properly: no more "You are offline" message, and functional Screen search.

If users don't want to join the app beta they can get the .apk from APK Mirror-

Adguard for Android v2.8.40 beta

Previous beta versions:

v2.8.1 beta adding support for Extended CSS and Extended Selectors

v2.8.15 beta adding $important modifier

Hello! This beta has a little bit of everything - some new additions (like DNS filter), some compatibility and other fixes, as well as some quality of life improvements (e.g. you can now customize update check period for filters).

Ad Blocking

[Added] Adguard DNS filter #876

Fresh addition to the Adguard filters family. Adguard DNS filter is composed of several filters (English filter, Social media filter, Spyware filter, Mobile ads filter, EasyList and EasyPrivacy), modified for better DNS filtering. It blocks ads and trackers wherever it is possible to indicate own DNS addresses. Note that it will block the whole domains and not the specific URLs. You can learn more about DNS blocking by visiting this page.

[Changed] "Filter DNS requests" feature is now available for non-premium users #875

With Adguard DNS introduced and being free, there is no point in keeping this Adguard for Android feature paid. Now it will be equally accessible for all users alike. There is still plenty of good stuff in the Premium version of the app :)

[Added] $important modifier #833

[Added] A new low-level setting: "pref.boot.startup.delay" #776

[Changed] Armorfly Browser added to the list of browsers filtered by default #862

[Improved] Users are now allowed to select filters update check period #746

Networking

[Changed] New server is now used for filters #863

[Changed] The way Adguard blocks IPv6 #853

[Changed] WoSign and StartCom certificates are now distrusted #880

[Fixed] "Operation not permitted" error while processing UDP connection #840

[Fixed] Crash due to "Too many open files" error #834

[Fixed] ENOBUFS error while writing to the TUN #724

[Fixed] SOCKS 5 proxy blocks internet traffic #660

UI

[Changed] System packages list is added to the "Tech info" section of "Android OS" details screen #857

[Fixed] Unnecessary exception is logged #854

[Fixed] Turkish translation errors #847

Compatibility issues

* Crunchyroll app #837

* TSB's Mobile Banking app #852

* PopkonTV app #860

* Raumfeld app #873

* Raiffeisen mobile apps #851

* mstoo.asiae.co.kr #665

Because I'm rooted I'm using HTTP proxy mode, will DNS filter list benefit me at all?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
These are two different things.

"Filter DNS" just enables Adguard's DNS-level ad blocking. In this case Adguard uses the filters you have enabled to check if this or that host should be blocked.

"Adguard DNS filter" is a filter, that is transformed for better DNS-level ad blocking. If you have "Filter DNS" enabled, I suggest you turning DNS filter ON as well.

Nope, DNS filtering is available for VPN filtering mode only anyway. And there's no need in this filter if you don't use "Filter DNS requests" feature.

Hi, just by interest:

Why does the Adguard app establish connections to several companies like Facebook, Merck Pharmaceutical etc.? (see screenshot)

What is the reason? Needed for blocking (VPN method)?

I'm using Adguard in order avoid connections to e.g. Facebook. So it would be helpful, if somebody could explain, why it's necessary.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
I wouldn't advise turning it ON when you use Adguard's other ad blocking capabilities.

The only exception is when you use "Filter DNS requests" feature and don't have HTTPS filtering enabled. Using DNS filter allows to block more ad servers in this case.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

What does it do? Does it just block all images?

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Basically, Adguard is a proxy server. So it establishes all these connections on behalf of the apps it proxifies.

It should be much easier to understand what's going on inside of Adguard if you check out the log file:

1. Switch AG logging level to "record http requests".

2. Examine the log file (/sdcard/Android/com.adguard.android/cache/log).

You'll see the list of requests processed by AG there. You'll also see which app has sent these requests.
[Android Apps and Games] salmanfarisy:
It says "Do not download images in other apps to reduce data usage".
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
It's possible to do it with a simple user filter rule:

http*$image

It is not very convenient way, though.

How, how did you manage to install this Nougat beta to Samsung?:)

Weird, do you intentionally use SIP?

@steelersmb

I've checked one more log from a guy reporting similar issue with S7 and Nougat.

Here is a quick analysis:

1. Samsung appears to be using SIP for some unknown reason.

2. SIP is broken by the mere VPN presence, you should run into this issue with any other VPN app. So I guess this issue should be reported to Samsung as well.

3. Here are some things you can try:

3.1. Try disabling Adguard for "Android OS"

3.2. If it does not work, try blocking IPv6 in AG low-level settings (pref.vpn.ipv6.disable).

3.3. The last thing to try is to bypass IPv6 (uncheck pref.vpn.ipv6.disable, check pref.vpn.ipv6.bypass)

I just tried NetGuard and that works fine. I have the option to block ads and text messages go out.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
In this case I am pretty sure one of the points suggested by me should help with the issue.

By default netguard does not filter apps traffic and sticks to pure dns filtering.

In our case I'd suggest checking `pref.vpn.ipv6.bypass` and turning "filter dns requests" on.
[Android Apps and Games] steelersmb:
