Filtering DNS requests is pretty the same what you do with hosts file, but in more intelligent way.

Let me show how the whole host resolving thing works:

[IMG="How DNS works"]http://i.imgur.com/2vE3RpU.png[/IMG]

If you enable "Filtering DNS requests", Adguard intercept DNS requests on step 7 and returns fake response for ad domains with time-to-live of 1 hour. So browser/app wouldn't bother Adguard with new requests for 1 hour after getting the first one. But anyway, it will scan the hosts file, so if you have a large one, then this feature won't change much.

Yes.

Heh, if you are ok with everything above then why not?:)

UPD: step 4, should be "scan" every time, not "read" as the file content is cached.

[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
did you actually notice a drastic increase in battery usage?

all your data goes through adguard, so when you use any app that accesses the internet android thinks that data is being used/sent by adguard.

as a result android will claim adguard is using a lot of data and battery.

Hi,

Spotted this app on Play Store which uses VPN filtering to create a Marshmallow Doze like feature to block non-whitelighted apps from internet access when the screen is off? - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yirgalab.dzzz&hl=en_GB

I think something similar would be a great feature for the Adguard Firewall - perhaps an option to have multiple named Firewall profiles with different app blocking rules and either these are swapped automagically by Adguard based on user set rules for screen on/off or other device activity and also switchable via intent so users can integrate with their favourite automation app as an alternative.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Interesting app, thank you!

Yep, we want to introduce different "profiles" and cloud sync in version 4.0:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/milestones/4.0

This feature "Doze" provides is really interesting, I have filed a feature request:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/176

It looks very easy to implement so maybe we'll add it earlier.

Hello there!

The best set of configurations to start with AdGuard would be:

- HTTPS filtration(ON)

- DNS (AdGuard DNS)

- AdGuard Filters (marked by the star)

Nevertheless, the settings may differ according to user preferences.

To change Firewall AdGuard settings you need to open Apps Management.

There either user can deny or allow access to the network to his applications.

Regarding AdGuard's firewall capabilities under Settings / Apps Management (thank you again [MENTION=9866990]Chinask1[/MENTION] for explaining that), am I understanding correctly that if I use that firewall, there is no need to use AFWall+ (or even that the two might not play nice)?
[Android Apps and Games] Chinask1:
[MENTION=8752219]who ah way[/MENTION]

I think that firewall from AdGuard will be enough. You can always check it out.

Just block access to the Internet and try to run the necessary application.

I'm running PE 10 on my N6P and can say that AdGuard never caused soft reboots. I am rooted with Magisk and using Local HTTP proxy auto mode.

Check these 2 functions in AdGuard advanced settings, they should be enabled:

-pref.vpn.disable.pause

I can load the website fine using the AdGuard DNS-over-TLS filter in the latest beta app.

[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
Anybody noticing significantly increased battery drain from Adguard while connected to WiFi on the latest beta? It doesn't seem to be an issue on mobile data, but there's a night-and-day difference between stable and beta in terms of battery consumption on WiFi.

Adguard is showing at the top of my battery stats, nearly matching the percentage of my display.

Before updating to the beta it wouldn't even be 1/3 of that percentage.
[Android Apps and Games] wipian:
I just downloaded the nightly (3.3 n14) from the website and it installed no problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Chinask1:
Have you noticed that battery drain increases in AdGuard settings or Android settings?

The fact is that all traffic when protection is enabled passes through AdGuard, so the expense from other applications is attributed to AdGuard.

More information here.
[Android Apps and Games] Deurklink73:
Thank you first of all for this great program.

I have only sometimes one problem. I use bluemail becourse Gmail app push mail notification comes after a long time. Bluemail push mail works direct after i get an email. But sometimes on wifi sometimes there is a syhnc error and i don't recieve any mail. I have a OnePlus 6t rooted, is it possible that i mis a setting?

Today the whole day was everything is working great, and tonight, i did not recieve a email. I restared my phone and everything is working. Today i installed the beta and see how that gows.
[Android Apps and Games] ScOULaris:
I'm fully aware of how the battery stats misrepresent Adguard's battery usage due to app traffic flowing through it, but this is significant.

Ever since the beta was installed, Adguard has become far and away the biggest battery user in the stats. More than even my screen with lots of SoT. On every build before this for the last year at least this has never happened.

The in-app battery stats don't show anything crazy, but this sudden and consistent change in how Adguard shows up in the Android battery stats simply can't be ignored IMO.
[Android Apps and Games] YMatrix:
So after disabling https filtering on all apps I still haven't found a way to stop this error from supl.google.com - it doesn't appear in the application list.

By the way there is a bug if you press on the error "exclude app" button - adguard will crash. Easy bypass is entering manually to application list and disabling.

[Android Apps and Games] Chinask1:
[MENTION=10219907]Deurklink73[/MENTION]

Sometimes there may be synchronization problems when using DNS.

Try changing the server and its type. If the problem repeats, please collect log files and send them to me in PM or on k.gretskyi@adguard.com (Preferably specifying the time of the problem).

[MENTION=5981953]dferferfer[/MENTION]

You can use AdGuard in HTTP proxy mode.

Of course, not having root rights can hardly count on good quality adblocking. But you will be able to use AdGuard and Cyberghost at the same time.

More information you can find HERE.

[MENTION=5104609]YMatrix[/MENTION]

In one of the first nightly versions, there was a bug when transferring the certificate to the system. It is possible that it affected you.

Try to completely remove AdGuard and its certificate from the system, then install the application again from a later version of AdGuard Nightly.

Before reinstalling, you can export the settings if desired.

I thought this was about the AdGuard Annoyances filter.

This is our filter (Trusted filters marked with a star).

We cannot guarantee the correct operation of third-party filters because we are not their developers.

Therefore, if you wish, you can inform their developers about the problem ;)

It's the rule, (in the AG Annoyances filter), that blocks the popup and overlay on Reddit Mobile which appears at the bottom of the screen. (There's the setting in the Reddit overflow menu which deals with this Element..... "Ask to open in App". You can select On or Off.

Blocking this Element using a rule is now preventing the page from scrolling. I tested this with Firefox/uBlock/Reddit. Blocking this Element using the picker tool creates exactly the same issue.

Reddit have made a bunch of changes recently to the mobile site and now the existing rule is in conflict.

AdGuard Extra

This is a custom extension designed to fight the technique of re-inserting blocked ads - the so-called adblocker circumvention/ad reinjection. Both are advanced anti-ad blocker methods that continue to rise in popularity among advertisers.

AdGuard Extra is essentially a mini-program that changes the way pages work, and it does so in such a way that it becomes much more difficult for sites to use the above-mentioned functions to bypass blockers.

So you'll hardly notice a big difference between on and off this function (performance).

But you will improve the quality of your advertising filtering.

AdGuard for Android 3.3. beta 2!

It seems that the first AdGuard v3.3 beta has opened the floodgates, and now there’s no power in the world to stop our developers from releasing more and more. Only one week has passed since, and we’re already presenting the next one. This time, our designers had a say too, and this is reflected in several UI-related changes that you won’t be able to miss.

[Changed] The onboarding process #2895

We sure love us some redesign! This time, we revamped the onboarding sequence (basically, what you see when you launch the app for the first time). Key changes:

An option to choose a ‘quick’ or a ‘long’ configuration: you’ll be asked to either make only key decisions or set most of the settings manually

New option to allow sending some technical and interaction information that will help us further improve AdGuard

Better graphics!

[Added] HTTPs filtering dialog #2967

HTTPS filtering is a cornerstone of AdGuard for Android. Without permission to filter the HTTPS protocol the ad-blocking power of AdGuard is severely crippled. That’s why we walk an extra mile to emphasize to users its importance.

We show a notification on the main AdGuard screen if HTTPS filtering is not enabled yet, and when you click on it, we now show a simple yet informative GIF that explains how HTTPS filtering works and why we recommend so strongly to turn it on.

[Added] “Refresh license status” button #2988

[Added] TLS v1.3 support for custom DNS servers #3132

[Added] Restore purchases button: a notification if there’s nothing to restore #2990

[Changed] Phrasing on activation screens #3141

[Changed] Internet connection availability checking method #3095

[Fixed] Pressing the “Buy one more license” button closes the current screen #3136

[Fixed] Some buttons in the first start dialog boxes can’t be seen on certain device models #3114

[Fixed] The switch for Custom filters incorrectly represents the state of the filter group #3119

[Fixed] Compatibility issues

[Improved] CoreLibs has been updated to v1.5.84 #3143

This version on a Github

Direct download.

Any known AdGuard issues with Android 10?

I have an AdGuard Premium License with 4 life-time licenses, running version 3.2. Have been enjoying the program for over two years.

Filtering method is Local HTTP Proxy as my device is rooted. (Attaching AdGuard settings.)

Last week I upgraded my OnePlus 7 (rooted with Magisk) to Android 10, and since then battery life has been atrocious.

Battery life when the screen is off seems to be okay (applications are hibernating with Greenify), but with the screen on, the battery drain is amazing. I have a question pending on the BBS thread, but my sense is that something is happening on the WIFI side (drain is maximum with connected applications, such as PocketCast or Spotify, even when not active), and since AdGuard is part of that picture, I wonder if you guys are aware of any issues between AdGuard and Android 10?

Attaching settings just in case.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Hello!

I doubt that the battery consumption somehow depends on AdGuard.

The situation with battery consumption for 10 Android is a known issue.

Please specify, did you use AdGuard Firewall to block the Internet for specific applications?

Some applications continue to "knock" to the network and therefore the battery consumption increases.

This is the only issue that comes to mind.
[Android Apps and Games] who ah way:

[Android Apps and Games] Chinask1:
The developers reviewed the logs you sent us.

Looks like you've met this issue.

Must be fixed in 3 beta updates.

As a temporary solution, I suggest you do the following:

- Go to Apps Management

- Disable HTTPS filtering for specified applications

- Disable and enable AdGuard protection

This should stop filtering errors from appearing.
