AdguardForAndroid

Disclaimer: AdGuard for Android is not an open source project. We use Github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

A somewhat "unexpected" AdGuard for Android update — much smaller than a usual one. It contains a couple of hotfixes, which were basically the reason to release this version, alongside several quality of life improvements like separate WiFi/Mobile statistics in "Apps Management".

[Added] Separate Wi-Fi/Mobile stats #1542

Here we introduce one 'visual' change: separate Wi-Fi/Mobile stats on the 'Apps Management' screen. There's now a drop-down menu on the statistics screen that allows you to choose between displaying stats for Wi-Fi, Mobile or all traffic.

[Fixed] Wakelock (caused by GCM_RECONNECT) prevents devices from sleeping #1547

A self-explanatory one. There was an annoying bug with "Wakelock" that prevented the device from entering sleeping mode.

[Added] Danish Adblock list filter #1523
[Changed] Translations for 'Advanced settings' screen have been updated #1507
[Fixed] Protection is restarted when you open HTTPS filtering menu #1605

Disclaimer: AdGuard for Android is not an open source project. We use Github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

We usually try to avoid having “inbetween” major updates, but this time is different. There were not as many big changes to justify labeling this version 2.11, but some of them are still very important so we couldn’t just keep shelving them.

A couple of serious bugs have been fixed: misbehaving “Protection” button on Android 7, certificate detection issue and “broken” whitelist. You’ll find a lot of minor fixes too, plus updated translations.

[Fixed] "Protection" button misbehaves #1556

The AOT (ahead-of-time) compilation method on Android 7.x could remove whole chunks of AdGuard code on its optimization step. This led to various problems, including the persistence of VPN connection despite the disabled protection.

[Fixed] Certificate detection issue #1543

We have changed the algorithm of user certificate detection and it now works more correctly.

Hi everyone!

AdGuard for Android has always been one of the most rapidly evolving AdGuard products, and it stays that way. Today, we introduce to you the new version, featuring some of the biggest and potentially the most important changes in a while: significant increase of the filtering speed, outgoing proxy and TOR support, DNS filtering, DNS encryption and everything cool that goes alongside it. More details ahead!

[Added] Improved outbound proxy support #968

There is now a separate section for outbound proxy configuring in the main section of "Settings" menu, just above the "Advanced". You can now add, configure and use multiple proxies through AdGuard. Please note that only filtered apps' traffic is routed through AdGuard (which means it will only work for browsers in the free version). Also, DNS requests are not routed through proxies. One related thing worthy of a separate mention: now it is very easy to set up Tor proxy via Orbot.

Once you install Orbot, there will be a configured Tor proxy at the ready in the AdGuard proxy settings. Just enable Orbot in the notification bar, and you are good to go!

[Added] Improved DNS settings #1134

We have also allocated a separate screen for DNS settings, you can find it in the side menu. You can add a custom DNS server, or select any public DNS provider from our list, including AdGuard DNS servers. No matter what server you choose, you can enable DNS filtering there.

Another great feature is DNSCrypt support. It is a special protocol that makes your DNS traffic secure, and we recommend to choose a DNS provider that supports DNSCrypt (by the way, AdGuard DNS does!).

[Added] Integration with the new network stack #1289
[Added] Integrate common URL filtering library #106

These words may appear a tad too techy, so let us explain. Behind the ad blocking process of every AdGuard app on every platform lies the same algorithm. This algorithm - network stack - has been significantly improved recently, its performance has been increased up to 3 times compared to old numbers. In this version we integrate the Android app with it and also with our new filtering library.

[Added] Logs and system info export #1383

This is a new addition to the 'Advanced settings'. Basically, after you tap it, the app grabs all current logs, packs it into an archive and asks you where to export it. It will be useful mostly for the forum and GitHub frequenters - for example when you report a bug and the support team member asks you to collect some logs. But it also can be helpful in certain tech support cases.

[Added] Battery usage stats screen #1246

Historically, questions about AdGuard battery usage are among the most frequently asked ones. Sadly, Android distorts the battery consumption breakdown, attributing other apps' traffic and battery consumption to AdGuard. We've even written a detailed Knowledge base article that explains this issue.

To mitigate the misconception, we added a new screen called 'Battery usage'. You can access it by tapping on the battery icon in the top right corner of the main screen.

Inside you will find a chart that shows the AdGuard battery resource consumption within the last 24 hours, with an option to get more detailed hour-to-hour data by tapping on the dots on the chart. Besides that, there's also a numeric breakdown of the relevant data and a short technical explanation.

Important update notice:

Unfortunately, there is an issue with an update from the previous beta on Android 4 and Android 5 devices. If Adguard crashes after you try to install the update, please download the .apk file of the new beta and update manually. 2.10.56 is the only version affected by this bug.

We are approaching the v2.10 release by creating this release candidate. Hopefully, it will be the last as well, but should any unnoticed bugs surface, another one will follow it. Anyway, the major addition here is the Battery usage stats screen. What it is, and why it was added is described right below. Aside from that, several minor UI changes and improvements to app's stability.

[Added] Battery usage stats screen #1246

Historically, questions about AdGuard battery usage are among the most frequently asked ones. Sadly, Android distorts the battery consumption breakdown, attributing other apps' traffic and battery consumption to AdGuard. We've even written a detailed knowledgebase article that explains this issue.

When we added new functions of custom DNS and proxy settings in the last beta, we, of course, expected that there will be at least some minor bugs or other things we had missed. In this new beta, we address them and even add some new stuff, like the option to export logs and system info into an archive. Details below, as usual.

The time has come to publish a fresh update of AdGuard for Android!
It brings quite a lot of fixes and also new exciting functionality: outbound proxy settings, DNS settings (including DNSCrypt) and more.

All these and other notable changes are described below in details:

[Added] Improved outbound proxy support #968

There is now a separate section for outbound proxy configuring in the main section of "Settings" menu, just above the "Advanced". You can now add, configure and use multiple proxies through AdGuard.

This update is a hotfix for that problem https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1334

Disclaimer: Adguard for Android is not an open source project. We use Github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

The new version is not excessively rich with new additions and other changes - more will come in v2.10 and, eventually, in Adguard v3.0. However, there is still one big highlight - we have vastly reworked and improved the User filter. Read below to find out the details.

[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.

The last beta version turned out to have a rather obnoxious bug: a crash while updating from beta v2.9.111 to v2.9.133 on Android 7 and Android O. The new update is a hotfix addressing this issue.

If you have trouble updating, please download the new version manually.

Note: there will be one more update later today. It will effectively carry no new changes: we need to test if the self-updater issue was actually resolved in v2.9.134 and the only way to test it is to release one more update.

[Fixed] Update fails on Android 7 and Android O #1308

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, see for yourself:

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
