the secure folder does in fact keep apps outside the folder from interacting with apps inside it.

try to launch a webview based browser like Atlas for example.

it will immediately crash unless you also have chrome in your secure folder(or the webview app if you're on an older version of android)

the secure folder is designed to hide apps/data from other people and apps.

and not all data goes through adguard, adguard needs to specify which apps to route through the VPN.
[Android Apps and Games] RED ZMAN:
Any updates to the Reminders issue? We reported it early in April and it still is a big problem. Reminders work as they should if AdGuard is off, but with it on they don't. They disappear after setting them, and old ones keep appearing. I've set the Google app as not enabled and thought this fixed the problem, it did not.

With AdGuard running, reminders are broken, with it disabled, reminders seem to work right.

For clarification, the reminders here are the ones you set either saying "OK Google, remind me to xxxxxxx at yyyy", with xxxx being the action and yyyy being the place or time to do it. You can also set these in the Google Search app under menu and reminders.

Working fine for me. Adguard enabled for all apps, default settings across the board.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
I've tried to reproduce it a few times, but it does work on our test devices.

There should be more about it, not just plain "reminders don't work". I wonder, could it be a device-specific issue? Something like with Gmail notifications on Samsung devices?

Could you please answer a few questions about it?

1. Does it happen on all your devices?

2. What type of device do you use? Android version?

3. Does it happen on Wi-Fi or on cellular data or both?
[Android Apps and Games] carlylemiii:
I too don't have any issues with Google Now reminders.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
It seems that we're close to finding the culprit.

Everything is here:

https://forum.adguard.com/index.php...elay-problem-for-google-services.20280/page-2

The thing is that for some reason connection with Google Cloud Messaging server via IPv6 is not fully functional, and we don't yet understand why. The temporary solution is to change your APN type to IPv4.

Meanwhile, we're still looking for a better solution.

Anyone else getting an error that the new update is corrupt?
[Android Apps and Games] JRJ442:
Yup. Same thing. Package appears corrupt. Nexus 6p.

Edit: The one on GitHub installs fine. https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/releases/tag/v2.9.111-beta
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
New update applied fine on my Nexus 6P running the O Developer Preview.
[Android Apps and Games] Daria Adguard Team:
Fixed. That package was corrupt. Excuse us :)
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Oh, you're on Android O already!

This update fixes a couple of compatibility issues (startup on boot and reacting on network connectivity changes). Also, it's worth mentioning that in Android O you can now manually enable "always-on" option for AG VPN. I've been testing it for a few days, nice thing for those who'd like to make sure that nothing slips through AG. There were some issues with it, though: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1240

got a serious problem using this app [adguard 2.9]

installed this app yesterday after using it for 20 minutes or more

my internet is completely gone as may be the app have set the DNS server to local one permanently or something else

I don't know exactly but whenever trying to access any site always get an error

"DNS Probe Finish" DNS error Bad Config"

help me doing it right as it was

currently using VPN to access the internet

as I don't want to reset my device :(
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Hm. Now I'm also noticing that Google reminders are no longer giving me notifications as others had been saying recently. They were working until not that long ago, so either something broke in a recent update or something changed on Google's side.

Ads coming through in Jrummy's root checker app

The root checker app that I use has just been redesigned and now has a lot of ads, which for some reason Adguard is allowing through.

Can you please take a look?
[Android Apps and Games] pgovotsos:
Might want to try this one. It's free, open source and ad free. Also gives more information than just checks for root. It checks what Superuser is installed, what version and what version of Busybox is installed.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abcdjdj.rootverifier

---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 AM ----------

If you don't want to try another root checker, couldn't you just use the built-in firewall of Adguard to block WiFi and cellular for the one you're using now?
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
I've tried many root checkers over time, and the one I've been using also provides a lot of data and has been my preference for quite a while. Thanks for your suggestion, though.

Thanks! It didn't even occur to me that this app doesn't need the Internet.

Your solution works very well, but I'm still curious how all of the ads are getting past Adguard when the network is enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] Kevotwo:
Any tips for getting firewall notifications back? I block snapchat and etc and i no longer get notifications to use or deny it from mobile data and i have played with the settings turning adguard off, checking show notifications per app.
[Android Apps and Games] pgovotsos:
Besides sending Adguard the logs, have you tried anything like Addons Detector to see what root checker is using? It shows most of the in app stuff.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.denper.addonsdetector
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
The filter log doesn't show much. Almost everything in there is already being blocked. I added rules for the few URLs that weren't being allowed through, but that still didn't stop the ads.

Thanks for the link to that app. I've installed it and it lists AdMob, AppLovin, Facebook Audience and Google Mobile Ads as advertising providers for the Root Checker app.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:

@ScOULaris [MENTION=895291]RED ZMAN[/MENTION]

I've filed this issue to Github so that we didn't forget about it:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1276

It reminds me of another issue which we struggle with at the moment (Samsung and Google notifications delay):

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1142

We've narrowed it down to IPv6 (for some reason when the device uses Google servers over IPv6, it does not receive push notifications when it should). I wonder if it's the same issue?

Here is a thing to try: set your APN to IPv4-only and please tell me if it helps or not.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

Broken in Nougat, we'll fix it in either v2.10 or v3.0. The problem is that we now need to request additional permissions to check if the app is in the foreground or not.

[Android Apps and Games] RED ZMAN:
I didn't come back and post anything after my last one as it only seemed to be hitting a few of us and I couldn't nail it down for sure. I know a few others posted about it in April.

I'll try the iPV6/V4 switch, but it is greyed out under my Verizon VZWINTERNET APN. I don't see a way to edit it.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Let's check then -- do you have this issue when you're on Cellular or it may happen on Wi-Fi too?
[Android Apps and Games] RED ZMAN:
Well, I set a lot of reminders at work, where I'm on Cellular, and at home I usually connect to WiFi and don't set as many.

I can test setting a few here on wifi for later today, and then set some more via Cellular too to test both. easy enough to just name them "WiFi 1", "WiFi 2", and so on.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
You can create a new APN for testing and make it identical to the default except for changing it from IPv6 to IPv4.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
What's important is not when you create reminders, but when do they fire (or not). Do reminders notifications fire when you're on Wi-Fi (or cellular)?
[Android Apps and Games] Goku80:
Hey guys. For whatever reason adguard after a few days keeps disconnecting of my internet. Once I disabled adguard everything is back to normal. Any ideas? I leave everything as they should be. Don't mess with settings
[Android Apps and Games] RED ZMAN:
Damn good idea and I went in and tried to do that a couple times over the last couple of days. Something is going on with pure Nexus on Verizon where we cannot edit or create new APNs.

So I did a bunch of testing yesterday and on my way to work with ad guard off I set several voice reminders for when I got to work and for specific times of the day. All of those fired off without a problem. Those were all set on cellular signal.

Are then turned adguard on an added the same reminders for when I got home and when I got home none of them fired off but four or five that I had set several weeks ago and have already marked as done fired off again. This time they were all set cellular signal again. Today I will do the same thing and set them on Wi-Fi.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
As I understand, the most important thing is what network you use when they fire. It does not matter what was it when you set them up.

Some days ago Twitter app start to show ads , all filters are updated and the configuration is the same , https on and high quality filter on s7 edge :-/
[Android Apps and Games] Oblox:
Had this a few times too, only since i went onto Android O beta though (DP2 and 3). Keep forgetting to report it here.

Seems to just stop connection whether wifi or mobile data, quick toggle of adguard via quick settings tile and its all back though.
[Android Apps and Games] RED ZMAN:
So I've been testing this off and on for the last few days and it seems like I'm usually on Wi-Fi when they should be shooting? But that's not necessarily true. Last night I set a few for when I got home and they did not fire. When I remembered to check later I was already on Wi-Fi but they should have fired when I got home because I didn't have my Wi-Fi on while driving. That's how it used to work.
[Android Apps and Games] big_b0sss:
Yes i can confirm that sometimes my Internet would stop working then have to disable adguard to get a working connection. Also how do you get rid of YouTube ads?
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Could disabling ipv6 in Adguard under Low-level Settings theoretically reduce battery drain on corporate Wi-Fi networks? I've always noticed that my work Wi-Fi drains my battery faster than my home Wi-Fi, and I've read that this is commonly due to frequent ipv6 refresh signals sent by routers in an office environment to keep connections to devices alive.

[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Do you mean the ads inside of the Twitter feed?

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

In theory, yes, it could. It appears that Android has quite a few issues with its IPv6 implementation, which often leads to some weird issues.

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

You can't install older version over a newer one, that's just how it works:(
[Android Apps and Games] DiGWeeD2:
Exactly
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Unfortunately, that's expected behavior. Twitter app is protected from the HTTPS filtering, so we simply cannot cut the ads out of the feed.
[Android Apps and Games] oile:
Google app, (the "ok Google" app) doesn't do the first access and voice recognition with adguard enabled. Same behavior on Google play games. Disabled, done the first access, re-enable and seems to work. Fix?

2.9 beta was older than just (?) Released 2.9.70? Okay, from now on I have to be more careful about this.

[Android Apps and Games] mermaidkiller:
I have installed Adguard 2.9.7 on Huawei Mate 9 and it works excellently, but Firefox sometimes still shows ads, sometimes under Youtube (not always). Other browsers (Opera, Dolphin) do not show ads at all.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
did you install the certificates for https filtering in Firefox?

most browsers use certificates from Android's list, but Firefox uses its own list.
[Android Apps and Games] milojoseph:
This new update, when the ad is blocked the area it was occupied is still there. Usually the cosmetic would fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] pgovotsos:
The only time I've had this or similar (like Adclear) cause issues is when I am connected to a free Wi-Fi network at some restaurants. When trying to do the sign in screen, it comes up as unsecured site and won't let you continue.

This doesn't affect just Google services but all network activity. The workaround that usually works for me is to disable Adguard before connecting to the network. After connecting and going through their rigamarole of accepting terms, re-enable Adguard and continue as normal. It seems that it is only the initial connect & sign in that Adguard complains about.

This doesn't happen on all free Wi-Fi networks, just some, so try connecting with Adguard enabled first before disabling.

One other issue I've had when connected to some of the free Wi-Fi networks happens when using an email app to fetch or send email to an account using SSL security. An actual app, not the browser interface for webmail. The token that had previously been accepted doesn't work and another one has to be generated and accepted. It actually makes sense for this to happen. One workaround is to add the domain to the white list or to accept the new token. I don't like either option because the first one just bypasses Adguard and the second is a hassle when having to deal with new tokens each time you change networks. When faced with this situation, I don't fight it. I just use the browser interface for that account. It may not be as easy to use as an app but it does work, doesn't have the hassle of tokens or bypassing Adguard, and Adguard blocks the ads on the browser interface anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] -Zeppelin-:
Hi,

this could cause a bit of a rant, but can Adguard be a true alternative to Adaway?

Does it block the same ads (or at least close to the amount) and is lag free and not causing any speed issues?

Greets
[Android Apps and Games] mermaidkiller:
How should I do that ?
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
set firefox as your default browser, then go into adguard's https filtering settings and select the option to install the certificate in firefox(bottom of the list)

Adguard for Android v2.9.133 RC

Previous beta versions:

v2.9.111 beta fixing some networking issues and improving ad blocking.

Adguard for Android v2.9.133 beta

Hello!

Another update for the Android version featuring the rework of the User filter and other secondary changes and fixes. This build will become the new release version if everything goes as planned.

[Improved] The user filter has been reworked #1279

Any experience of interacting with the previous incarnation of User filter could not be described with any other word but 'miserable'. It used to be clunky, unresponsive and slow. A lot has changed in this version.

First, the new design. It has become much cleaner.

We have combined all of the control elements - add a new rule, clear the filter, edit the filter, import and export - under one toolbar menu.

Second, you now have an option to enter the so-called "edit mode" that brings up the multiline text edit area. It is very handy if you need to copy/paste/delete multiple lines of text at once, or just edit several rules in a row without clicking on each and every one of them.

Finally, the general way it looks. Rules are color-differentiated depending on their type, comments are distinctively visible and every rule can be disabled and enabled back without having to delete and re-create it.

If you have any interest in creating and maintaining a list of your own rules, you are going to, without any doubt, welcome these changes. We, personally, are very excited! :)

Ad blocking

[Changed] The way we handle rules with $empty modifier #1274

[Fixed] $network modifier doesn't work #1268

[Fixed] Firefox nightly 64-bit is not recognized as a browser #1257

Networking

[Changed] HTTPS is not filtered any more for Nougat targeted apps without `network_security_config` #1286

[Fixed] Android O compatibility issues #1227

[Fixed] VPN + IPv6 issue on Android 4.4.2 #1267

[Fixed] IPv4 mapped addresses bypass VPN #1026

[Fixed] Reconfiguring iptables on package add/replace leads to no internet #1245

[Fixed] App preview does not work #973

UI

[Fixed] Crash on network type changes #1272

User filter import doesn't work on Nexus 9 #1300

[Improved] Localizations has been updated #1290

Other

[Changed] Yuzu browser has been added to the list of browsers filtered by default #1285

[Fixed] Multiple compatibility issues

[Android Apps and Games] wipian:
Confirmed.

Even with 'Install Unknown Apps' permission granted for Adguard.
[Android Apps and Games] pgovotsos:
If you enable the DNS filter you will get the same functionality as AdAway. There are some negatives about using DNS blocking. If you look in the in app help there is some explanation on them. The support on their site has more information and there is an article on their blog that is entirely about DNS filtering.

Android Oreo DP3 is still in beta.

An option is uninstall Adguard and reinstall the new version (but I have no experience with Oreo).

I fixed the Firefox issue by installing the Adguard Firefox plugin. That worked !
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Yep. Experiencing the same thing here on DP3.
[Android Apps and Games] wipian:
Yeah, cheers, we all know O DP3 is still beta.

I was simply confirming the 'unexpected' behaviour.

I say 'unexpected' as other apps manage to sideload/update themselves successfully once the appropriate, aforementioned permission is enabled.

Easy fix is simply to download the APK from their Github and install using Chrome or a file browser (Solid Explorer in my case).

[Android Apps and Games] FlyingHorseGA:

I guess that's because AG checks if root is available when it stops protection. Just don't allow it if you don't use proxy mode.
