Kleine Verbesserungen am Statistikmodul.

Wenn diese Version ein UFC-Kämpfer wäre, könnte man sie „Der Bugfixer“ nennen, denn es dreht sich alles um die Bekämpfung von Bugs. Schauen wir uns an, was wir hier erreicht haben.

DNS-Fehler

Mit dieser Version haben wir einen besonders auffälligen Fehler behoben, der dazu führte, dass DNS — und damit das Internet — beim Wechsel des Netzwerks zufällig ausfiel. Es hat uns einige Detektivarbeit gekostet, da das Problem unvorhersehbar war und nur eine kleine Anzahl von Benutzer:innen betroffen war. Aber hey, niemand sollte ohne DNS-Schutz dastehen!

Fehler beim Akkuentladen

Ein weiteres lästiges Problem, das wir während der Beta-Tests entdeckt haben: Falsche Berechnungen in den Statistiken führten zu einem übermäßigen Batterieverbrauch. Der Systemcode konnte die für eine präzise Statistik erforderlichen Daten unterhalb eines bestimmten Wertes nicht richtig berechnen. Glücklicherweise ist es uns gelungen, dieses merkwürdige Verhalten im Systemcode zu beheben, sodass die Statistiken jetzt korrekt berechnet werden. Zudem laden sie jetzt schneller und verbrauchen weniger RAM.

Das Problem schien nur bestimmte Android-Versionen zu betreffen. Wenn Sie die Nightly- oder Beta-Version von AdGuard verwendet haben und auf dieses Problem gestoßen sind, empfehlen wir Ihnen, auf die stabile Version zu aktualisieren.

Sonstige Fehlerbehebungen

Die neueste Version der CoreLibs enthält eine Reihe von Bugfixes und Verbesserungen sowie eine verbesserte Filterqualität — die Details finden Sie im Änderungsprotokoll unten.

Dies ist ein weiteres technisches Update. Wir haben einige Fehler behoben und an der Stabilität der App gearbeitet.

Haben Sie schon mal bemerkt, dass die App abstürzt, obwohl Sie auf die neueste Version aktualisiert haben? Keine Sorge! Dieser Hotfix löst das Problem.

Die Filter-Engines sind von einigen feindlichen Bugs betroffen, aber AdGuard ist stärker als diese. Dank dieses Hotfixes sorgen aktualisierte Bibliotheken für ein sauberes und sicheres Web.

Wir bemühen uns bei jedem Update, besser zu werden. Heute sind wir stolz darauf, die neue Version von AdGuard für Android zu veröffentlichen: schneller, leistungsfähiger und effizienter als je zuvor. Lassen Sie uns einen Blick auf die wichtigsten Änderungen werfen.

Mit der aktualisierten Filter-Engine CoreLibs konnten wir neue Funktionen implementieren, um die Filterung zu verbessern. Erstens haben wir die Geschwindigkeit der HTTPS-Filterung erhöht. Zweitens gibt es einige praktische Verbesserungen für erfahrene Nutzer:innen und alle, die sich für Filterentwicklung interessieren. Wit haben Unterstützung für die Modifikatoren urltransform und xmlprune hinzugefügt, um noch mehr störende Elemente auf Websites zu blockieren.

Um unsere App benutzerfreundlicher zu gestalten, haben wir einige UI-Verbesserungen vorgenommen. So, einige Xiaomi-Nutzer:innen hatten Probleme mit der Akku-Optimierung. Wir haben darüber nachgedacht und beschlossen, die Anleitung hinzuzufügen.

Unser Entwicklerteam hat sich damit nicht zufrieden gegeben: Es hat auch die DnsLibs und die Userscript-Wrapper aktualisiert und zahlreiche Fehler behoben, um die App noch stabiler zu machen.

Dieses Update bringt eine bessere Benutzerfreundlichkeit für unseren YouTube-Player. Jetzt gibt es Hintergrundwiedergabe, empfohlene Videos, Qualitätsanpassungen und mehr. Nicht mehr so unskippbar, oder, Werbung? Außerdem haben wir die Gesamtleistung der App verbessert, auch in der Android TV-Version.

Zahlreiche Neuerungen für den YouTube-Player von AdGuard

Sehen Sie, was jetzt verfügbar ist:

Sie können die Videoqualität, die Geschwindigkeit und die Untertitel-Einstellungen ändern indem Sie auf das Zahnradsymbol ⚙ klicken

Der Bild-in-Bild-Modus wird jetzt unterstützt: Verkleinern Sie das Video in ein kleines Fenster, das im Hintergrund weiterläuft, während Sie andere Apps verwenden. Perfekt für Musik oder Podcasts!

Empfehlungen am Ende des Videos, während der Pause oder durch Tippen unten rechts im Player (Verfügbarkeit je nach Video)

Sie können 10 Sekunden vor- oder zurückspringen, indem Sie zweimal auf die linke oder rechte Seite des Bildschirms tippen

Um den AdGuard Player zu starten, wählen Sie in der YouTube-App ein beliebiges Video aus, tippen Sie auf „Teilen“ und wählen Sie den AdGuard Player (möglicherweise müssen Sie zuerst nach rechts scrollen und auf „Mehr“ tippen).

Hinweis: Der AdGuard Player basiert auf dem internen Webbrowser, mit dem YouTube geöffnet wird und verfügt über eine integrierte Werbeblocker-Funktion. Die Funktionsweise und Verfügbarkeit seiner Funktionen hängt daher von der Webversion von YouTube ab.

In diesem technischen Update haben wir kleinere Fehler behoben und die Stabilität der App verbessert.

Verbesserte Firewall-Funktionen und die Filterung von DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) in Echtzeit sind die Hauptmerkmale von AdGuard v4.4 für Android. Nach umfangreichen Code- und Testarbeiten freuen wir uns, Ihnen die neue Version vorstellen zu können.

Firewall im Rampenlicht

Wir sind stolz darauf, das Internet sauberer und angenehmer für alle zu machen. Dennoch müssen wir zugeben, dass wir selbst manchmal lästig sein können und zu viele Benachrichtigungen verschicken. Einige Nutzer:innen haben uns mitgeteilt, dass sie die Firewall-Benachrichtigungen als störend empfinden und sie deshalb in den Systemeinstellungen dauerhaft deaktivieren.

Deshalb haben wir die Firewall-Funktionalität verbessert. Jetzt können Sie die Benachrichtigungen für alle oder ausgewählte Apps individuell anpassen und deaktivieren. Möchten Sie keine Benachrichtigungen über Chrome-Verbindungen erhalten? Öffnen Sie den Benachrichtigungsbildschirm, tippen Sie auf eine Chrome-Benachrichtigung und wählen Sie Stummschalten. Dadurch werden alle Firewall-Benachrichtigungen für diese App deaktiviert.

Sie können auch unter Schutz → Firewall → Benachrichtigungen die Benachrichtigungen für bestimmte Apps ausschalten.

DoH-Filterung in Echtzeit

Dank der aktualisierten Filter-Engine CoreLibs können wir die Filterung von DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH)-Verbindungen in Echtzeit implementieren. Unsere Desktop-Apps haben diesen Weg bereits eingeschlagen und es funktioniert gut. Warum ist diese Funktion überhaupt wichtig?

Wenn zuvor DoH im Browser aktiviert war, aber nicht in AdGuard, mussten wir die Anfragen direkt im Browser filtern und an den unverschlüsselten System-DNS senden, was die Sicherheit beeinträchtigte. Mit der Echtzeit-DoH-Verbindungsfilterung können wir nun DNS-Anfragen im Browser filtern, ohne sie an einen unverschlüsselten Server zu senden.

Die neue Funktion finden Sie unter Einstellungen → Allgemein → Erweitert → Low-Level Einstellungen → Verschlüsselte DNS-Anfragen filtern.

Zusätzlich haben wir einige kleinere Fehler behoben und UserscriptsWrapper sowie DnsLibs aktualisiert.

AdGuard v4.3 für Android bringt Ihnen nicht nur etwas Besonderes, sondern auch etwas völlig Neues. Es ist die gleiche AdGuard-App, die Sie schon lange kennen und schätzen, aber jetzt mit einer TV-großen Überraschung – wörtlich gemeint: Wir freuen uns, die Unterstützung für Android TV einzuführen! Zudem gibt es einige wichtige Neuerungen und einen neuen Bereich für Entwicklerwerkzeuge, damit Sie unsere App noch besser nutzen können.

Unterstützung für Android TV

Wir haben eine Version von AdGuard für Android entwickelt, die die wichtigsten Funktionen zur Verbesserung des Surfens und Filterns von Inhalten auf dem Fernseher bietet. Das neue Design ist speziell auf Android TV zugeschnitten und umfasst:

Angepasstes Onboarding

Startbildschirm mit Statistiken

Angepasster Schutzbildschirm

DNS-Schutz

Der DNS-Schutz ist eine wichtige Funktion von AdGuard für Android TV. Die Verschlüsselung des DNS-Verkehrs bietet eine zusätzliche Sicherheitsebene und schützt Ihre Privatsphäre beim Surfen. Mit diesem Update können Sie diese Sicherheit nun auch auf dem großen Bildschirm nutzen. DNS-over-HTTPS ist standardmäßig aktiviert, aber Sie können auch Ihren eigenen Server hinzufügen, wenn Sie ein anderes Protokoll benötigen.

Halten Sie Ihre Fernbedienung bereit, denn gleich werden Sie eine neue App entdecken! Eine ausführliche Anleitung zur Installation von AdGuard für Android TV finden Sie in unserem Blog.

Um AdGuard für Android TV nutzen zu können, benötigen Sie eine Lizenz. Aber keine Sorge — wir bieten eine kostenlose 7-Tage-Testversion an.

Entwicklerwerkzeuge

Wir laden unsere fortgeschrittenen Benutzer:innen und Filterentwickler:innen, die intensiv mit der Anwendung arbeiten, dazu ein, unsere neuen Entwicklerwerkzeuge zu erkunden. Diese bieten einen speziellen Bereich für eine schnelle Navigation und einen schnellen Wechsel zwischen Funktionen. Hier können Sie benutzerdefinierte Filter leicht aktivieren oder deaktivieren, auf Protokolle zugreifen, die Aufzeichnung verschiedener Protokolle aktivieren und vieles mehr. Diese Funktion ist in den Low-Level-Einstellungen verfügbar.

CoreLibs und DnsLibs aktualisiert

Das neueste CoreLibs-Update v1.13 verbessert die HTML-Filterung, während die Version v2.4 von DnsLibs Ihre Verbindung durch Unterstützung der HTTP-Standardauthentifizierung noch sicherer macht.

Wenn Sie diese Option in den Einstellungen aktivieren, passen sich die Oberfläche und das Symbol der AdGuard-App an die Farbe der Smartphone-Oberfläche an.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Funktionen nur auf Android-Geräten ab Version 12 verfügbar sind.

Unterstützung für HTTP/3-Filterung #487

AdGuard filtert jetzt nicht nur HTTP/1.1- und HTTP/2-Datenverkehr. In dieser Version haben wir experimentelle Unterstützung für HTTP/3-Filterung hinzugefügt. Das HTTP/3-Protokoll basiert auf dem QUIC-Netzwerkprotokoll und bietet mehr Datenschutz und Sicherheit sowie eine stabilere und schnellere Internetverbindung. Wenn Sie die HTTP/3-Filterung aktivieren, können Sie die Vorteile des QUIC-Protokolls nutzen und Werbung und Tracker effektiv blockieren.

Um die HTTP/3-Filterung zu aktivieren, gehen Sie zu Einstellungen → Erweitert → Low-Level-Einstellungen → HTTP/3 filtern und kippen Sie den Schalter nach rechts.

Unterstützung von zwei HTTPS-Zertifikaten

Durch die Implementierung von zwei HTTPS-Zertifikaten haben wir ein Problem mit der HTTPS-Filterung in Chrome 100 und höher auf gerooteten Geräten behoben. Das Zertifikat im Systemspeicher ist für die Filterung in den meisten Apps verantwortlich, während das Zertifikat im Benutzerspeicher es AdGuard ermöglicht, HTTPS-Datenverkehr in Chromium-basierten Browsern zu filtern.

Auch die Installation der Zertifikate ist jetzt einfacher: Wir haben eine ausführliche Anleitung hinzugefügt.

Um das zweite Zertifikat zu installieren, gehen Sie zu Einstellungen → Filterung → Netzwerk → HTTPS-Filterung → Sicherheitszertifikate und folgen Sie den Anleitungen.

Unsere Filter wurden weiter verbessert und wir haben auch einige Fehler behoben, um eine stabile App-Leistung sicherzustellen. Beeilen Sie sich mit dem Update!

Endlich sind wir bereit, das Ergebnis der gigantischen Anstrengungen zu enthüllen. Lassen Sie uns einen genaueren Blick auf AdGuard v4.0 für Android werfen und darüber sprechen, was sich seit Version 3.6 geändert hat.

Vollständiges Reengineering

Wir haben die gesamte App überarbeitet und jede Zeile des Codes von Grund auf neu geschrieben. Das Ergebnis dieser grundlegenden Überarbeitung ist eine App, die nicht nur schneller ist, sondern auch reibungsloser als je zuvor.

Vollständiges Redesign

Wir haben das Design überarbeitet, um die Benutzeroberfläche der App einfacher zu gestalten und die wichtigsten Funktionen in den Vordergrund zu rücken. Um die Werbeblockierung, den Tracking-Schutz, die Blockierung von Belästigungen oder den DNS-Schutz zusammen mit den entsprechenden Filtern zu aktivieren, tippen Sie einfach auf das entsprechende Symbol über dem Hauptschalter.

Wir haben auch einen separaten Abschnitt Schutz hinzugefügt. Dieser Bereich ist durch Tippen auf das Schildsymbol am unteren Bildschirmrand zugänglich und bietet Ihnen noch mehr Kontrolle. Neben den oben erwähnten „Kernfunktionen“ können Sie in diesem Bereich Firewall, Internetsicherheit und sogar AdGuard VPN verwalten. Auf dem Bildschirm „Schutz“ können Sie diese Module nach Belieben ein- oder ausschalten und auf ihre Einstellungen zugreifen.

Firewall

Wir haben eine interessante Funktion aus den Tiefen von AdGuard für Android ausgegraben — Firewall — und ihr einen vollwertigen, unabhängigen Status verliehen. Damit entscheiden Sie selbst, welche Apps bei ausgeschaltetem Bildschirm mobile Daten oder WLAN nutzen dürfen. Mit Echtzeit-Benachrichtigungen über App-Aktivitäten bleiben Sie immer auf dem Laufenden, sodass Ihnen nichts entgeht.

Und für blitzschnelle Änderungen gehen Sie zum Abschnitt Schnellaktionen, wo das Aktualisieren von Firewall-Regeln so einfach wie nie zuvor ist. Mit Firewall können Sie auch den Internetzugang von Apps beim Roaming blockieren und so Ihre kostbaren Megabytes im Ausland sparen.

Detaillierte Statistiken

Eine spezielle Registerkarte bietet umfassende Statistiken über alle Apps, Unternehmen und Domains. Fragen Sie sich, welche Anfragen von Unternehmen am häufigsten blockiert werden? Welche Apps versuchen, Ihre Daten zu senden und an wen? Sie können alles Verdächtige schnell identifizieren und blockieren.

Integration mit AdGuard VPN

Wie wir oben geschrieben haben, wurde der integrierte Modus mit AdGuard VPN in AdGuard v3.5 für Android eingeführt. Bis dahin mussten Nutzer:innen durch sieben Kreise der Hölle gehen, um unseren Werbeblocker und VPN gleichzeitig zum Laufen zu bringen. Alles nur, weil normalerweise zwei verschiedene Netzwerkfilter-Apps auf Android nicht nebeneinander funktionieren können.

Mit der Veröffentlichung von AdGuard v4.0 für Android ist der integrierte Modus stabiler als je zuvor geworden. Früher musste der integrierte Modus bei jeder Aktualisierung oder Neuinstallation von AdGuard oder AdGuard VPN neu konfiguriert werden. Jetzt müssen Sie ihn nur noch einmal konfigurieren, und er hält Updates und Neuinstallationen stand, während die Integration erhalten bleibt. Darüber hinaus erhöht der häufigere Informationsaustausch zwischen AdGuard Werbeblocker und AdGuard VPN die Stabilität des integrierten Modus, ohne die Leistung zu beeinträchtigen.

Änderungen im integrierten Modus werden zwischen AdGuard v4.0 für Android und AdGuard VPN v2.3 für Android synchronisiert. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie beide Apps auf die neuesten Versionen aktualisieren, um einen möglichst stabilen und reibungslosen gleichzeitigen Betrieb im integrierten Modus zu gewährleisten.

Selektives App-Proxying

Vor AdGuard v4.0 für Android konnten Sie Ihren gesamten Webverkehr über einen bestimmten Proxyserver leiten. Mit der Funktion Apps, die über einen Proxy geleitet werden, die unter Einstellungen → Filterung → Netzwerk → Proxy zu finden ist, können Sie nun auswählen, welche Apps über Ihren Proxy laufen sollen.

Vorteile des Root-Zugangs

Für alle Technikbegeisterten da draußen ist der Begriff „Root“ kein Fremdwort. Rooting bedeutet im Wesentlichen das Entsperren Ihres Geräts, um mehr privilegierte Kontrolle zu erhalten. Wenn Ihr Android-Gerät gerootet ist, bietet Ihnen AdGuard v4.0 für Android noch nie dagewesene Möglichkeiten, die über alle vorherigen Versionen von AdGuard Werbeblocker hinausgehen.

Traditionell leitet AdGuard den Netzwerkverkehr an seine CoreLibs-Filter-Engine weiter, indem er ein lokales VPN aufbaut. Mit Root-Zugriff können Sie AdGuard in den Automatischen Proxy-Modus versetzen. Navigieren Sie einfach zu Einstellungen → Filterung → Netzwerk → Routing-Modus und wechseln Sie zu Automatischer Proxy. Dadurch wird das lokale VPN ausgeschaltet und stattdessen Iptables konfiguriert, um die gleichen Ziele zu erreichen. Und diese Änderung hat mehrere Vorteile.

Erstens ist AdGuard jetzt in der Lage, DNS-Filterung auf IPv6-Anfragen anzuwenden, was vorher nicht möglich war. Zweitens haben wir einige Probleme behoben, die AdGuard daran hinderten, Webanfragen genau den jeweiligen Anwendungen zuzuordnen. Diese Feinabstimmung wird die Leistung von Firewall, Filterprotokoll und so weiter verbessern. Für diejenigen unter Ihnen, die gerootete Geräte haben, bringt dieses AdGuard-Update Ihre Kontrolle und Anpassung auf ein ganz neues Niveau!

Überarbeitung von Low-Level-Einstellungen

Unter Einstellungen → Allgemein → Erweitert finden Sie diese Optionen, die für technisch versierte Nutzer:innen gedacht sind. Es ist eine mächtige Spielwiese, aber auch ein Ort, an dem man nur allzu leicht etwas kaputt machen kann, wenn man nicht aufpasst. Trotz aller Warnungen, die wir angebracht haben, liegt es in der menschlichen Natur, zu erforschen und zu experimentieren, oft ohne die Konsequenzen zu verstehen.

Als Reaktion darauf haben wir die Low-Level-Einstellungen benutzerfreundlicher und intuitiver gestaltet. Es ist jetzt einfacher zu verstehen, was die einzelnen Einstellungen bewirken, und selbst wenn Sie einen Fehler machen, haben wir Sicherheitsmaßnahmen wie Validierungsprüfungen für eingegebene Werte eingeführt, um Sie vor größeren Fehlern zu schützen.

Was die Einstellungen selbst angeht, so haben wir neue hinzugefügt, alte ausgemustert und dieses fortschrittliche Toolset weiter verfeinert. Eine umfassende Anleitung zu den Low-Level-Einstellungen finden Sie in unserer Wissensdatenbank. Machen Sie sich also bereit für ein erweitertes, aber dennoch sicheres Eintauchen in die Tiefen der Anpassungsmöglichkeiten mit den erweiterten Einstellungen von AdGuard!

Sie müssen die Updates von AdGuard für Android vermisst haben. Nun, jetzt wird es Ihnen nicht mehr langweilig, denn wir brechen ins Jahr 2023 mit einer neuen Version des Produkts auf, und von da an werden wir nur noch an Fahrt gewinnen.

Die wichtigsten Änderungen in AdGuard v3.6.11 für Android wurden in unserer Kern-Filter-Engine vorgenommen — CoreLibs und DNSLibs. Darüber hinaus haben wir die Inhaltsfilterung verbessert und eine Reihe kleinerer Änderungen vorgenommen, um die Leistung der App zu steigern.

DnsLibs auf v2.0.75 aktualisiert #4324

Eine deutlich aktualisierte Version der DNS-Filterbibliothek verbraucht weniger Ressourcen und läuft schneller. Die Implementierung des DNS-over-QUIC-Protokolls unterstützt nun den Standard RFC 9250, und der experimentelle Status wurde von der DoQ-Unterstützung entfernt.

Erster Schritt zur Unterstützung von Encrypted ClientHello DL#161

Zunächst einmal, was ist Encrypted ClientHello? Heutzutage ist fast jede Internetverbindung verschlüsselt und niemand kann sehen, was innerhalb dieser verschlüsselten Verbindung geschieht. Es gibt jedoch noch ein kleines Problem: Das allererste Paket der Verbindung zeigt den Namen des Servers an, mit dem Sie sich verbinden. Angenommen, Sie wollen www.google.com öffnen, dann kann Ihr Internetanbieter nicht sehen, was genau Sie senden und empfangen, aber er weiß, mit welcher Website Sie kommunizieren. ECH (Encrypted ClientHello) ist eine neue Technologie, die dieses Problem lösen soll und dieses letzte Bit der unverschlüsselten Informationen verschlüsselt.

Was wäre also der erste Schritt zur Unterstützung dieser Technologie durch AdGuard? Überraschenderweise ist es, es zu unterdrücken! Dies kann durch das Umschalten der beiden Flags pref.dns.block.ech und pref.https.redirect.doh in den Low-Level-Einstellungen geschehen.

Aber keine Sorge: Was wir erreichen wollen, ist eine globale ECH-Unterstützung, so dass alle Ihre Apps von ECH profitieren können, nicht nur Ihr Browser. Um dies zu erreichen, veranlasst AdGuard Ihre Apps, reguläre HTTPS-Verbindungen mit ihm herzustellen, und baut dann in deren Namen eine ECH-aktivierte Verbindung auf. Diese experimentelle Funktion ist für das nächste Update geplant, bleiben Sie also dran.

CoreLibs auf v1.10.186 aktualisiert

DNS-over-HTTPS-Filterung

Option hinzugefügt, um sichere DNS-Anfragen an den lokalen DNS-Proxy umzuleiten #1563

DNS-Anfragen von Chrome und Firefox konnten manchmal die DNS-Filterung umgehen, indem ein DNS-over-HTTPS-Server verwendet wurde. Jetzt kann AdGuard auch DNS-over-HTTPS automatisch filtern.

Diese Funktion ist experimentell und kann in den Low-Level-Einstellungen aktiviert werden, ihr Name ist pref.https.redirect.doh. In zukünftigen Versionen planen wir, sie standardmäßig zu aktivieren.

Verbesserte Inhaltsfilterung

Die folgenden neuen Funktionen sind für Filterbetreuer wichtig und bieten erweiterte Möglichkeiten für die Inhaltsfilterung.

Verbessert

Neuer Basisregel-Modifikator $jsonprune hinzugefügt. Dieser Modifikator erlaubt erweiterte Filterung für JSON-Antworten #1447

Neuer Basisregel-Modifikator $hls (https://adguard.com/kb/general/ad-filtering/create-own-filters/#hls-modifier) hinzugefügt. Dieser Modifikator bietet erweiterte Filterfähigkeiten für die Modifizierung von HTTP-Live-Streaming-Dateien, was bei der Verhinderung von Video-Werbung helfen kann. #1434

Erweiterte Fähigkeiten des Modifikators $stealth. Filterbetreuer können nun angeben, welche Privatsphären-Modus-Funktionen für eine bestimmte URL deaktiviert werden sollen. Vor dieser Änderung bestand die einzige Option darin, den Privatsphären-Modus komplett zu deaktivieren. #1224

Unterstützung für leere $path-Modifikatoren für Nicht-Basisregeln hinzugefügt #1591

$removeparam kann nun auf POST-Anfragen angewendet werden #1573

Behoben

Die Option im Privatsphären-Modus Eigenen Referrer von Drittanbietern verbergen behindert den Modifikator$third-party #1640

Kosmetische Regeln mit Pseudoklasse :where() werden abgelehnt #1609

Regeln mit dem Modifikator $third-party blockieren Ressourcen von der eigenen Subdomain der Website #1637

Regeln mit dem Modifikator $all blockieren keine explizit besuchten Seiten #1590

Andere Verbesserungen

Andere Behebungen

Bei der Bestätigung von 2FA verschwindet die Code-Eingabeseite in einigen Fällen

AdGuard erstellt kein lokales VPN und der Schutz startet nicht #4269

Das Internet funktioniert nicht, wenn ein Netzwerk von Wi-Fi auf mobile Daten umgestellt wird #4265

Kompatibilitätsprobleme mit der iRobot Home-App #4273

In dieser Version haben wir die Verbindungsprüfung verbessert — jetzt erkennt die App besser, ob eine Internetverbindung besteht.

In diesem technischen Update haben wir kleinere Fehler behoben und die Stabilität der App verbessert.

In dieser Version haben wir eine neue Funktion hinzugefügt — 'Schutz vor DPI'. Sie ändert Ihren ausgehenden Datenverkehr, um zu verhindern, dass die Deep Packet Inspection-Systeme des ISP die von Ihnen besuchten Websites erkennen. Um diese Funktion sichtbar zu machen und sie zu aktivieren, wählen Sie „Benutzerdefiniert“ im Modul „Privatsphäre“ und scrollen Sie nach unten.

Wir haben auch ein Problem gelöst, das für die Nutzer:innen mit gerooteten Geräten relevant ist. Aufgrund von Certificate Transparency Feature in Google Chrome wurde das Systemzertifikat, das wir zum Lesen des HTTPS-Verkehrs verwenden, von Root- oder Superusern nicht gefunden. Um dieses Problem zu beheben, hat das CoreLibs-Team ein spezielles Modul für den Magisk Manager entwickelt - jetzt können Sie das HTTPS-Zertifikat kopieren und keine Probleme mit dem neuen Chrome haben.

Außerdem haben wir die HTTPS-Filterung für Naver Whale Browser als standardmäßig eingestellt. Schließlich wurden CoreLibs und DnsLibs aktualisiert.

[Sonstiges] CoreLibs und DnsLibs auf ihre letzten Versionen aktualisiert

📲 Lately some of our users experienced discomfort — they couldn’t make voice calls in WhatsApp when AdGuard v3.6.6 for Android is enabled. The CoreLibs team managed to combat this problem. 📚 Besides, we’ve made several fixes to the scriptlets library. To recap, scriptlets are powerful blocking tools. In particular, they carry out a noble mission: to neutralize anti ad blockers. The previous version of AdGuard for Android had a scriptlet library that contained an incorrect fix for rules like #%#/scriptlet(“abort-current-inline-script”, ...), which could break some web pages; now the problem is solved. Having dealt with all the issues, we’re ready to present a new version. Please meet v3.6.7, we’ve done our best for it to function smoothly.

Changelog

[Fixed] AdGuard breaks calls in WhatsApp #4080

[Enhancement] CoreLibs to v1.8.285 #4089

After the last update of AdGuard for Android, some users may have encountered the problem of the app crashing when using earlier versions of the Firefox browser. Well, we decided to close all debts this year and release the patch today. We also did something that no release can do without: we updated CoreLibs.

Changelog

[Fixed] AdGuard crashes while using earlier versions of Firefox browser #4068

[Enhancement] Updated CoreLibs to v1.8.281 #4076

It's time to release AdGuard v3.6.5 for Android. The biggest thing about this version is the enhanced Browsing Security module which now blocks requests to malicious and phishing sites better and faster! No less important point is that we’ve updated CoreLibs and DNSLibs to make the app perform more reliably, and fixed various minor bugs. Hope you will enjoy AdGuard v3.6.5 for Android!

[Enhancement] Enhanced Browsing Security module

With the implementation of new Safe Browsing API v2, Browsing Security module responsible for blocking requests to malicious and phishing sites, has become more effective. The upgraded version of this module makes browsing the Internet safer than ever and leaves no chance for the malicious code to be executed.

Changelog

This quick update fixes a bug that could have happened to our long-term users. If you have been using AdGuard for a few years and your security certificate expired, it could have lead to an HTTPS filtering failure. After this update, you will see a notification on the app’s main screen. Tap on it and follow on-screen instructions to reinstall the certificate and resume HTTPS filtering.

In this version we focused on updating CoreLibs. Namely, we dealt with the priority of existing modifiers and added several new ones: $denyallow, $redirect-rule, $removeheader, and $specifichide. It might be of interest to users who’d like to create their own ad filters. Besides, we’ve made userscript exclusions work properly and fixed all issues found. We know you are waiting for v4.0, so are we. Trust us, it’s worth it.

AdGuard for Android v3.6 is headlined by two pretty big changes, new features even. It's watching YouTube ad-free inside the app and DNS-over-QUIC protocol support. The first one is easy to grasp, the second one will take some explaining. [Enhancement] An option to watch Youtube ad-free #2994 Blocking ads in YouTube on Android has been exclusive to browsers for a long time, thanks to the restrictions Android OS imposes on filtering other apps' traffic. However, we found a way for you to avoid ads in YouTube app. Follow these easy steps:

Open the YouTube app and start the video you want to watch.

Tap on the Share button and select AdGuard for Android from the list of apps.

A new window will pop up where you'll be able to watch the video without being interrupted by ads! [Enhancement] DNS-over-QUIC support DNS-over-QUIC, or simply DoQ, is a DNS encryption protocol. You might have heard about DNS encryption protocols before, the most common ones are DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS (DoH and DoT correspondingly). So what makes DoQ so special? A bunch of things, really: out-of-the-box encryption, reduced connection times, and better performance in cases of lost data packets.

The feature is still experimental — AdGuard for Android is one of the first open-source implementations of DNS-over-QUIC — but it's perfectly functioning and we encourage you to try it. You'll find it under DNS Filtering. Select AdGuard DNS and choose DoQ from among the available encryption protocols.

It's time to release AdGuard v3.5 for Android. We took our time with this one: tested two betas and expanded the changelog. What's in there? Introduced compatibility mode with AdGuard VPN for Android, updated CoreLibs and a load-truck of fixed bugs.

[Enhancement] Compatibility Mode with AdGuard VPN for Android app #3441

Since AdGuard VPN for Android was first introduced, there was already a way to make it work along with AdGuard ad blocker. But to make the two apps coexist in peace, you were required to jump through some hoops. Anyone who went ahead and did the thing 100% has been waiting for a proper integration ever since — and we oblige.

The best kind of compatibility is when you install two apps and they just start working together. We did exactly that. Presuming you already have AdGuard ad blocker installed, just download AdGuard VPN from Google Play Store (you can get there right from the ad blocker app, there's a new item in General Settings menu).

Both apps will detect each other and do everything that's needed for smooth joint work. All that will be left for you is to enjoy both ad-free Internet and all the benefits of a VPN. By the way, it works the other way around just as well: install AdGuard ad blocker on top of an already-running AdGuard VPN and you're good.

If you'd like to disable Compatibility Mode for any reason, it's very simple to do so from AdGuard ad blocker settings, just toggle the switch. Additionally, you can add AdGuard ad blocker and AdGuard VPN tiles to your device's notification bar and toggle them in one tap at your own will — thanks to Compatibility Mode the configuration will change immediately and silently.

Meet AdGuard v3.4 for Android, it’s time for it to see the world! Having tested two betas, we feel confident to present this version to a wider audience. Spring is a time for renewal, and software is not an exception. We've fixed some old bugs, updated CoreLibs and made the app more compatible with Android TV.

[Fixed] AdGuard blocks Internet connection #2842

This bug was a hard nut to crack. For a long time it appeared randomly (at least, it seemed so) on devices of AdGuard users. Still, the symptoms matched: smartphones lost any network completely while AdGuard was turned on. Of course, it was crucial for us to solve this problem, and at last, we've managed to do it. It’s beyond words how relieved we feel afterwards, let alone the affected users!

[Fixed] Firewall's restrictions are ignored when WiFi gets enabled #3313

Another troublesome bug that deserves special attention. In the previous version 3.3, if you had specifically prohibited some apps from accessing the Internet via mobile data, the restrictions worked right up until you enabled Wi-Fi, which was not the intended behaviour.

[Enhancement] Integration with DnsLibs #3229

DnsLibs is a DNS proxy library that's required to provide DNS filtering. It supports all existing DNS protocols including DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-HTTPS, and DNSCrypt. We developed it to replace the old DNSproxy, which had one serious flaw: it caused high battery resource consumption. DnsLibs is much better optimized and will ensure a longer lifespan for your phone's battery if you're using DNS filtering a lot.

[Enhancement] Improved functionality on Android TV #3238

AdGuard for Android is first and foremost an app for mobile phones and tablets, but it can be installed on other Android devices, such as smart TVs. We have made several improvements for this specific case, for example:

AdGuard now better works with lists

Better navigation between AG menus on smart TVs

Option to click on snackbars

Option to exit the promo screen

"Close" option for all dialogues

Now AdGuard for Android will be much easier in use if you decide to install it on your smart TV. If you still encounter any bugs or inconsistent behaviour, please report it here.

[Changed] The list of HTTPS exclusions has been updated

In this small update, there’s only one but important fix and a few additions to the exclusions list.

[Fixed] Protection doesn’t restart when an excluded app is installed #3340

[Changed] The list of HTTPS exclusions has been updated

Recently we claimed to make the last release of the year, and it kinda was that. Ignore that this update is called a 'release', it's more of a 'hotfix'. Because you wouldn't call this tiny hotfix a release, right? Just a couple of bugfixes, that's all.

[Fixed] The protection doesn't start automatically if you restart the phone right after checking for filter updates #3286

[Fixed] Stealth Mode configuration isn't saved after app update #3287

The last AdGuard for Android release of the decade! This sounds solid. Anyway, it’s more of a coincidence than anything else that such a massive update falls right on Christmas. And don’t get us wrong: it is massive. Multiple major features and over 50 lesser ones — all in all it combines to make a nice Christmas gift for y’all!

[Improved] Filtering engine

Version 3.3 brings scriptlets and $redirect modifiers support. Scriptlets is a powerful ad-blocking tool that helps to block ads on websites that use different circumvention techniques. $redirect modifier is another tool that allows substituting an ad with special ‘resources’ instead of blocking it. For instance, it can replace a banner with a transparent 1x1 image.

[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] New activation flow #2901

Not a lot of Android users had a chance to see our AdGuard for iOS app, so they likely don’t know about the system that’s being used there for Premium features activation. But it recommended itself as one that’s convenient for users, so we adopted it for AdGuard for Android too.

As you can see, there are now two options: enter a license key directly, or log into AdGuard personal account. If your account has a license key that can be used to activate Premium, it will get picked up automatically after you enter credentials.

[Fixed] DNS filtering breaks regular filtering on HTC devices #3014

[Improved] dnsproxy library has been updated #3016

This is a small hotfix for the recent AdGuard for Android release. Mostly squashing bugs related to the new features introduced in v3.2.

[Fixed] DNS filtering breaks regular filtering on HTC devices #3014

[Fixed] AdGuard doesn't completely remove extensions #3015

[Improved] dnsproxy library has been updated #3016

Two months of development are rarely enough to come up with an update that big. Despite that, AdGuard 3.2 for Android is packed with major new features, not mentioning the long list of minor changes that goes on and on.

There’s something for both experienced users (userscripts support, DNS user filter) and for absolute beginners (feature discovery) to help them make their first steps. And everyone will equally appreciate the improved stability and speed that come with CoreLibs filtering engine update.

[Added] Feature discovery #2459

We try to position AdGuard for Android as an app you can technically turn on and forget about it, but that can offer so much more if you spend some time to explore it. To help new users not get lost in many many features we added over the years, we'll now highlight the most important UI elements and give short tooltips that explain what they are all about. This will only happen when you visit this or that screen for the first time, of course, otherwise, it would become old very soon.

[Added] Userscripts support #34

Userscripts (we also call them extensions) are basically mini-programs written in Javascript that extend the functionality of one or more websites. Usually, you'd need some special userscript manager to add them, and it's traditionally more of a desktop thing. But with AdGuard everything is possible! Now you can add any userscripts by URL or load them from a file, and AdGuard will serve as a userscript manager and take care of the rest. Go to Settings > Extensions to enable some of the preinstalled extensions or to add custom userscripts. By the way, you can tap on any userscript from among the added ones to see more details and to reinstall or delete it.

[Added] DNS User filter and custom hosts files support #2803, #1851

This is very similar to the regular User filter for custom filtering rules, but for DNS requests. You can find it at Settings > DNS Filtering > DNS Requests blocking. DNS User filter supports two types of syntax: a limited portion of AdGuard syntax and "hosts" syntax. More about it in our Knowledge Base.

Another DNS-related feature is hosts files support. AdGuard users now can add any hosts lists as custom DNS filters. Again, this option is on the Settings > DNS Filtering > DNS Requests blocking screen.

[Fixed] IPv6 filtering doesn't work in automatic proxy mode #2579

Not a new feature, but a very important fix. Many users with rooted devices use AdGuard in automatic proxy mode, and it turned out that IPv6 filtering wasn't working in this mode. In this version, the problem is fixed.

Instead, as you will see, there are a lot of minor UI changes to improve user experience and some fixes to known crashes. So the app should be more stable and user-friendly after this update.

What do you think of when you see a jump from v2.0 to v3.0? Whatever it is, you'll probably find it inside. New design, new features, better performance, and a variety of bugfixes. Without further ado:

Stealth Mode

It is telling that we’re starting our feature overview with Stealth Mode, listing it even before the redesign, or anything else. With Stealth Mode, AdGuard takes another role in addition to ad blocker and app manager: the role of a privacy protection tool, and a strong one at that. AdGuard has had a special Tracking Protection filter for a long time, but the new module presents an entire range of tools. Some of them will suit almost everyone, and others are for more hardcore users.

[Added] Stealth Mode module #2094

A much anticipated addition, all thanks to the aforementioned CoreLibs integration. For the uninitiated, Stealth Mode module is responsible for protecting your privacy. Use it in conjunction with Tracking Protection filter to ensure the best protection. Also mind that different Stealth Mode options differ in their severity, some are “free”, and some come with certain trade-offs in convenience. When in doubt, read the tooltips or even send us a message with a question.

New UI

As important as Stealth Mode is, the tone of the update is largely dominated by the visual changes, and this time there are plenty. Almost every aspect of the old design was reworked, revamped and (hopefully) improved. There’s too much to mention in one chunk of text, so let's divide them into more digestible paragraphs.

[Improved] App redesign #713

One of the most expected, and at the same time controversial changes, for sure. We were debating whether to put “Changed” or “improved” tag on this one, and decided for the latter. We wholeheartedly believe that the new variant is better than the old one. Our designers spent countless hours on it, going through many iterations, and this is where we finally arrived.

As you will notice very soon, we changed not only colors but the layout too. For seasoned AdGuard veterans, it will take some getting used to, but we are sure you’ll find the new design even better and more convenient after a while.

[Added] Dark theme #104

And before you say “But I was hoping for the dark theme!” — don’t worry, it is also available. Looks not a single bit less slick than the default one.
Hop straight to settings and switch to it if you are a night person :)

[Added] Statistics charts #2083

Statistics are useful, it’s always nice to know how many ads were blocked, how much traffic was saved and so on. But simply looking at bland numbers is not very informative, and also plain boring. Charts both provide more information and are much more comprehensive.

[Improved] New first launch wizard #1965

If you are reading this, likely you don’t need any suggestions and you can navigate AdGuard’s options with ease. But for new and less experienced users this will be a helpful addition. Upon the first launch, the wizard will tell you about available features and suggest turning them on.

[Improved] Widget redesign #2354

App’s icon was changed, so the widget needed to be altered as well. Not much to say here, aside from the change in looks, widgets now provide some statistics about blocked requests and so on.

CoreLibs update

In case you need a refresher, CoreLibs is the new filtering engine that AdGuard is built upon. What AdGuard can and can't do is defined by it, so no wonder it's so important. One of the biggest advantages of CoreLibs compared to the previous engine is that it's cross-platform. This means AdGuard for Android can now take the best from the other AdGuard apps, and you can already see it in action with Stealth Mode.

In this update, CoreLibs receives a further boost, granting better performance and filtering quality. About 150 improvements were made to the filtering engine. We cannot list them all here, but here is a link if you want to check them out.

Other changes

Here are some of the more niche features that will primarily appeal to more tech-savvy users.

[Improved] DNS functionality #2415

There are, in fact, several different improvements hiding under one. Instead of bundling with the dnscrypt-proxy binaries, we are now using our own DNS proxy server that supports all existing DNS protocols. But enough of this gobbledygook, what does it mean for you, the user?

AdGuard now supports DNS-over-TLS protocol, which is one of the most secure modern DNS protocols

To configure a DNS-over-HTTPS (another secure DNS protocol) server, you don’t need to know the SDNS and can use a simple string like https://dns.adguard.com/dns-query.

Indicate any number of upstream servers for your custom DNS server setup.

[Added] More filter subscriptions #12

Self-explanatory: the more, the better! If your favorite subscription wasn’t in the default list before, check it again.

[Added] Custom filter subscriptions by URL #13

…and if it is still not there, no big deal! Just add it manually, because now doing it is extremely easy. Just tap the respective button, enter the filter list’s URL, and it will appear among the rest of the filters. New filter will be updated automatically, and of course, you can add more than one at a time.

[Added] Protection suggestions tab #2241

And again, a feature mostly aimed at newer users. AdGuard for Android accumulated quite a bit of features over the years, and it is not easy to identify from the get-go which are the most important. This new tab draws your attention right on the main screen and hints at which steps can be taken to enhance your protection.

[Added] Problematic devices detection #2458

It seems that more and more smartphone manufacturers follow the questionable trend of killing apps whenever they feel like it. Some brands and models do so more often than other. Fortunately, there are certain steps you can take to improve the situation, and these steps vary depending on your particular device.
AdGuard learnt to detect such problematic smartphone models, and when it gets killed like that for the first time, it will show you a notification that explains what just happened (accompanied by some pieces of advice how to prevent that in the future). Its not a cure-all (if only there was one), but definitely better than nothing.

[Fixed] Wi-Fi calling doesn’t work with AdGuard #2550

Due to the way Wi-Fi calling is implemented, you will face problems if you try to use it while having an active VPN. Up until this update AdGuard wasn’t an exception — but it will be now. Without going into technical details (they are available by the link above), let’s just say we found a way to make AdGuard and Wi-Fi calling friends.

[Improved] Added fallback DNS servers #2490

If for whatever reason your current DNS server becomes unavailable (doesn’t matter whether you use one of the servers from the list we provide or a custom one), AdGuard uses your system default DNS as a fallback server. Not an ideal solution, so now you can indicate any DNS server (or even multiple) to be used as a fallback. Go to “Advanced Settings > Low-Level Settings” to set it up.

[Improved] Device's current SDK level is now sent with check update requests #2328

Many of you already know, AdGuard team is working hard on developing AdGuard for Android v3.0. It has been taking a long time, but we are nearing the release. This small update serves a single purpose: prepare the current version so that the big update goes smoothly. No other changes — we saved them all for the big day :)

One thing to mention: starting with AdGuard for Android v3.0, we will drop the support for devices with Android OS version 4.x. Sadly, they are simply becoming too old.

We know it’s unusual for us to push an update directly to release channel, but this time we decided to do so nontheless. What was planned to be a quick hotfix, turned out to be an update that touches on several different issues.

[Fixed] Auto-update check is not perfrormed properly #2153

[Fixed] ENOENT error while exporting a log file #2162

[Fixed] UC browser does not support HTTPS filtering #2183

[Improved] Dnscrypt-proxy has been updated to v2.0.17 #2168

[Improved] DnsCrypt servers list has been updated #2171

[Changed] Compatibility fixes

Nobody likes to roll out a hotfix just a week after the release, but sometimes there's no other choice. We took this opportunity to not only fix the problem but also to update the CoreLibs filtering engine and make a handful of other useful changes.

[Fixed] AdGuard does not restart after auto-pause on older Android devices #2127

Turned out, on some older devices (Android 6 and older) AdGuard didn"t restart after the protection got paused automatically (say, on the network state change). This affected a large enough portion of AdGuard users to justify an immediate update.

[Changed] Localizations has been updated

[Fixed] An error occurring during the license activation #2134

[Fixed] Expiring certificate issue on 32-bit Android devices #2128

[Improved] Upgrade CoreLibs to 1.1.53 #2141

v2.12 is filled to the brim with new features. New filtering engine takes ad blocking quality and performance to a new level, improved notification settings and automation options will make the communication with the app easier, and freshly added DNS functionality will satisfy even the most demanding of users.

Consider this version as a bridge to the big 3.0 release which surely come soon, with even more cool stuff!

[Added] Integration with a completely new filtering engine (CoreLibs) #1869

We have been working hard on integration with CoreLibs for a long time, and we are extremely proud and happy to finally switch to it. The importance of it has been mentioned before multiple times, including a post in our Blog. We recommend reading it for more details, but if you only want a brief summary, here it is: CoreLibs is a cross-platform filtering engine that will substitute previously used platform-specific engines. Thanks to it, the performance rate will increase drastically (twofold for AG for Android, according to our tests!). The unified filtering engine also means shorter development cycles, we no more need to account for the nuances of this or that OS. And finally, many features that only existed for one OS can now be easilly transfered to AG products for other platforms. So expect things like Stealth Mode on Android! [Added] Self-hosted automatic crash reporting system to catch the app crashes #1908

New filtering engine (see above: CoreLibs) means that there may be more crashes than usual, and to address them quickly we introduce integration with automatic crash reporting system - Sentry. It will automatically send crash reports with all the information that developers need to fix the problem. For more details on what exactly is being sent, read our Privacy Policy. Just have a look at how many issues have been dealt with already thanks to it:

[Fixed] Crash when running the TCP/IP stack #1984

[Fixed] Crash caused (possibly) by a huge number of apps installed #1659

[Fixed] Crash on opening app's settings with Assistant #1833

[Fixed] Crash if protection fails to stop in 60 seconds #1927

[Fixed] Crash: java.lang.SecurityException: Destination must be on external storage #1978

[Fixed] Crash: The specified child already has a parent #1956

[Fixed] Crash: Unable to import null to preferences #1987

[Fixed] RuntimeException: The TCP/IP stack has finished its work unexpectedly #1970

[Fixed] Timeout crash due to slow Magisk initialization #1939

And you can help us to track down and fix even more, so please keep it enabled if you are on the beta update channel.

[Added] Notification channels #1561

This is something that will only be available to users of Android 8 and newer. We have divided our notifications into six categories: Protection Status, License Status, Updates, Outbound Proxy, Firewall and Other. You can not only enable/disable each category separately in the system notification settings, but also manage each of them by tapping on the category name. This opens wide door for customization. Depending on what is important for you and what is not so much, you can, for example, turn some of them silent while keeping the sound for the rest.

[Added] Long press app shortcuts #1111

Taking advantage of the feature available to users of Android 7.1+, we add long tap shortcuts. As it is obvious from the name, you just need to tap and hold on the app icon to bring up a list of fast actions. Among them are toggling the protection status, fetching AdGuard Assistant or checking for updates.

> A note — you can drag any of these options to create a widget. There are also two smaller buttons for opening app’s system settings and creating an AG widget, respectively.

[Added] Automation settings (Tasker, AutomateIt, etc) #1896

[Added] Extended Tasker API: proxy settings #1972

Hopefully, you’ve already had a chance to test the new tasker API. This beta will give you something new to play with: proxy settings. Two new actions become available: proxy\_state and proxy\_default. The first one enables/disables the outbound proxy, the latter sets any of the previously configured proxies as default. More detailed description of these actions is in our KB article.

A lot of users asked us about ways to automate some of AdGuard’s functions, like disabling protection when a certain app gets launched. Finally, we deliver, and the in-depth guide to automating AdGuard is already available in our Knowledgebase.

[Improved] DNS functionality #1831

There are two different improvements hiding behind one task here. First one is, we have upgraded DNSCrypt proxy to version 2. It is a general improvement, v2 is superior to v1 in speed and security. The other change is a bit more interesting: we’ve added “DNS over HTTPS" (DoH) support. This is an experimental protocol that is more secure due to increased protection against things like eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. You can easily find more technical information about DoH on the internet, but if you don’t want to bother just trust us: it is a nice thing to have :)

[Added] More DNS providers added to the “known by default" list #1811

The more the better, right? Right! This includes such popular providers as Cloudflare Public DNS, FreeDNS and many others. Find one that suits you best!

[Fixed] The AdGuard app is filtered in the manual proxy mode #1958

[Fixed] AdGuard process kills itself unexpectedly #1887

[Improved] Battery stats are counted properly now #1915

This update is on a larger side, just judging by the number of entries in the changelog. Two ‘whales’ of this release are both integrations with an external app: AdGuard Assistant and web reporting tool. Assistant will help you manage filtering in apps and browsers from the notification shade, and reporting tool is what it’s called — a convenient way to report any missed ads, false positives and such.

[Added] Extended AdGuard notification — an "Assistant" button #1614

There are now two action buttons in the AdGuard notification. One is “Pause”, which pauses the protection upon tapping (tap again on the notification to resume it), but the more interesting one is “Assistant”. When you tap it, a list of recently used apps and websites will show up. Tap on any of them for more options, like opening filtering log, denying the app network access (or whitelisting/blacklisting in case of a website), or proceeding to the app/website-specific settings screen in Apps Management.

We believe this will save you quite a bit of time, especially if you are an active user and often find yourself in a need to pause protection, whitelist a website etc. In fact, we tested it ourselves and found it extremely convenient! :)

[Added] Integration with reporting web tool #1615

This feature is already familiar to AdGuard for Windows, AdGuard for iOS and AdGuard browser extension users. Basically, this is a way to report any filtering-related issue on a page: missed ad, false positive etc. To do so, go to app’s side menu and select “Report an issue”. Instead of an immediate “Send a message to support” screen, you will get a dialog to select the type of issue. Choosing one of the filtering-related issues will open a web page and a wizard will take you step by step through the process of filling in the required information. Don’t worry, most of the fields will be pre-filled by the AdGuard app!

This way of reporting missed ads and such is beneficial to both filters developers and users — the former will get all the information they need to fix the problem, and latter will be sure that the issue will be resolved in the shortest amount of time possible.

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] Compatibility issues

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 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 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

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

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 [Added] Integrate common URL filtering library

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

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

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. 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.

Some users started to encounter a network error while using applications (YouTube, Google Plus, Facebook Messenger and some others). This update is a hotfix for that issue: #1334

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.

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

As you will see, 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! :)

Other

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

[Fixed] Multiple compatibility issues

[Improved] Logging in case of a critical error #1216

This is arguably the biggest we've changed our app since v2.5 or even since the introduction of the new design back in AdGuard v2.0. Some of these changes were meant to be introduced only in the 3.0 version, but we couldn't wait any longer :) Significant changes to UI, the long hoped-for filtering log feature, other new options - all this and much more awaits you in this update.

[Improved] New app navigation system #969

Alright, we realize that when it comes to changing the design, there's going to be a controversy. There will always be those who find it better than the old one, and there will always be those who don't. Our hope the majority of users will find the new navigation system more convenient.

What exactly has changed? There is now a side menu, which will help to navigate through the app more easily. Besides that, we can finally utilize the context menu in the top-right corner, you can find an example of this in 'Apps Management' section. By the way, 'Apps management' will now include all Firewall settings as well. Having these two sections together at the same time felt excessive and confusing.

[Added] Filtering Log #11

Oh, boy. Anyone who has ever tried to check what's being filtered/blocked knows the struggle of inspecting AdGuard's log file. It was the only way, and I doubt there is a single user who found it convenient. No surprise, as it was initially meant to be used by filters developers only. We were thinking: 'Why would anyone want to see on such deep level what do their apps do?'. We had been completely ignoring tech savvy people who do care about it and do want to have a complete control of what is going on on their device.

We'd like to apologize for this. We should have implemented filtering log functionality a long time ago. Well, better late than never. The filtering log has arrived, come and see for yourself. We don't expect to hit the nail on the head on the first try, so your feedback on what's lacking and what you can live without is invaluable.

Ad Blocking

[Added] $network basic rules modifier #1032

[Added] Support for exception rules #815

[Changed] The behavior of the third-party modifier #891

[Changed] Websites cache is now suppressed after filters change #946

[Fixed] $replace rules aren't applied to .m3u8 files content #1060

[Fixed] Regular expressions with $ symbol aren't processed properly #1027

Networking

[Added] An option to not filter HTTPS on websites with 'Extended Validation' certificate #934

AdGuard for Windows users are familiar with this option already. Extended Validation SSL certificates grant that the owner of the certificate has gone through a very strict process of verification. The trust for such certificate owners is much higher - those are usually banks, other financial organizations etc. Often times there are zero or close to zero ads on their websites, and filtering them is excessive anyway - it only increases the chance to break something useful.

[Changed] VPN autopause is now disabled by default for new Android devices (Pixel, Nexus with Nougat) #1000

From the beginning, the VPN autopause functionality was not 'a feature'. It is a workaround for some known Android issues and bugs. For example, tethering could not work along with a VPN, or AdGuard's network access could be denied in power saving mode.

It seems that all these issues are sorted out in the newest Android devices, so we have disabled autopause functionality for them. You can turn it back ON in AdGuard's low-level settings if needed.

[Fixed] HTTPS filtering in Nougat-targeted apps #979

[Fixed] Amazon license check hangs while doing the background check #1121

[Improved] Active proxy connections closing time was reduced #990

[Imporved] AG styles are protected from disabling now #947

UI

[Added] Bulk change functionality for the Apps Management section #1063

Available from the context menu that we have already mentioned above, it grants a fast and easy access to the most common settings that can be applied to all apps at once.

[Added] A new advanced preference: a list of networks which LAN should be filtered for #1154

Initially, there was just a bug that prevented AdGuard from filtering ads in Moscow subway Wi-Fi network. Turned out that wi-fi.ru is located inside of a LAN, which we exclude by default. Rather than making an exception for this particular network, we decided to choose a more broad approach and create a new preference.

[Changed] Aggregate all removed apps stats in one item #806

[Changed] 'Blocked' pages markup was updated #1029

[Changed] Translations were updated #1138

[Changed] 'Notification without icon' mode is made default for 'Notification icon' setting #988

[Fixed] FAQ UI is broken on Android 5.1.1 when you highlight the text #1097

[Fixed] The quick settings tile doesn't highlight/shade when you toggle the protection #1100

[Improved] 'App details' activity is sped up considerably #1099

[Improved] pref.filtered.ports setting now can understand port ranges #830

Other

[Added] 'Watchdog period' advanced setting #1067

Depending on the firmware, Android might be very aggressive to background services, killing them really frequently. In AdGuard case this aggressive behavior may be truly destructive. This feature starts a special 'watchdog' service, which keeps AdGuard's main process alive. However, it is disabled by default as most of the Android devices do not suffer from the 'random process killing' issue.

[Added] ABVPN filter #1015

[Added] Hungarian filter #1011

[Added] AdGuard French filter #1127

[Changed] Default HTTPS exclusions list was updated #1116

[Changed] 'Update only over WiFi' option is grayed out when automatic filters update is disabled #953

[Fixed] VpnService.prepare crashes due to XPosed module #1084

[Fixed] An attempt to get a license from within the app makes AdGuard crash when there's no browser installed #1112

[Fixed] Compatibility issues

[Improved] UDP connections handling was reworked #906

It hasn't been long since we have released an urgent hotfix for AdGuard v2.8, and today there is going to be another one. It is not normal when such things happen, we realize it, and want to apologize to all of you. We'll do our best to avoid such situations in future.

The most major fixed problem concerns one of the low-level settings - pref.vpn.ipv4.bypass, which, as the name suggests, allows to disable filtering for all ipv4 traffic. It was simply missing in the latest release version.

Along with the problem mentioned above, a couple of other issues were addressed.

An important hotfix for the recent release of AdGuard v2.8. It contains only one, but crucial fix:

[Fixed] Routes exclusion string bug #939

This bug affected AdGuard's work in WiFi networks and could lead to several problems, such as: no filtering fore some websites, local network FTP-server disability, incorrect functioning of WiFi calling feature.

Finally, it's time for AdGuard for Android 2.8 to come to light! It brings the ad blocking quality to the next level with several big novelties such as Simplified domain names filter or extended CSS support. Many new low-level settings will allow advanced users to customize app to their liking, and for all the rest we bring quite a few quality of life improvements and bugfixes. We hope everyone finds something useful in the new AdGuard for Android version.

Ad Blocking

[Added] Support for Extended CSS and Extended Selectors #810

Extended CSS support is a very important addition in terms of future (and present) possibilities that it opens for ad blocking. Extended CSS is a module for applying CSS styles with extended selection properties. Basically, it means that we will be able to select and, therefore, block some elements that we would not be able to block otherwise. Currently we support following pseudo-classes: -ext-has ( :has ), -ext-contains ( :contains ), -ext-matches-css ( :matches-css ).

'Extended selector' is a technical term, but what hides behind it? With extended selectors support, we can much more easily create some rules that were very, very hard to create earlier. Notably, this concerns rules required to block such things as 'Sponsored posts' on Facebook.

[Added] Simplified domain names filter #876

Fresh addition to the AdGuard filters family. Simplified domain names 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 our website adguard.com.

[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] pref.root.clear.youtube low-level flag #907

This option will allow rooted users to automate removing Youtube app data, which appears to be crucial for blocking ads in it. By the way, in one of the recent articles in our blog you can find a detailed guide to blocking ads in YouTube app.

[Added] 'pref.filtered.ports' added to low level settings - advanced users can now add new ports to filter #796

[Added] $websocket content type modifier - it will enable to use rules written exclusively for WebSocket connections #801

[Added] $important rule modifier #833

[Added] Latvian filter list #730

[Added] List-KR filter list #756

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

[Changed] Multiple browsers added to the list of browsers filtered by default #757, #808, #862, #922

[Fixed] $replace rules can now be applied along with other filtering rules #844

[Fixed] $app modifier is ignored when HTML content is being filtered #921

[Fixed] HTML filtering rules with wildcard attribute can not be parsed #917

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

[Improved] Increased content filtering rules maximum length limit #590

[Improved] HAR file writer, which is used for debugging purposes #784

[Improved] QUIC-connections blocking for the Chrome browser #766

Networking

[Added] pref.vpn.ipv4.bypass low-level setting #909

If this option is enabled, AdGuard will ignore all IPv4 connections. This might appear wierd and unnecessary, but in reality it allows to use AdGuard as a 'DNS-level' ad blocker. You only need to enable the following options: pref.vpn.ipv4.bypass, pref.vpn.ipv6.bypass, DNS requests filtering and AdGuard DNS filter (the latter is not crucial, but will help immensely with blocking ads in browsers). AdGuard will cease filtering other apps' traffic, and will only block ad domains on the DNS requests level. As a result, ad blocking quality will drop and Firewall functionality will not be available, but also there will be close to zero performance penalty.

[Added] VPN restart feature #733

[Changed] Updated default SSL whitelist #843, #848

[Changed] Protection is now paused automatically when Bluetooth tethering is detected #791

[Changed] IPv4 connections now have priority over IPv6 connections #802

[Improved] AdGuard styles are now protected from removal #913

[Improved] AdGuard automatically detects when AdGuard's certificate is moved to system certificate storage (Helps with https filtering in Android N+) #755

UI

[Added] 'Installation date' to the app details screen #794

[Added] A Quick Settings tile for Android N and up #767

[Added] A low level switch to enforce "protection paused" notification to be visible even when notification icon mode is set to 'None' #838

[Fixed] Time format on main screen now follows system settings #819

[Fixed] Unnecessary exception is logged #854

[Improved] Filter editor now recognizes lines starting with "!" as commentaries in user-imported filters #759

Minor and compatibility issues

Lots of other minor issues and compatibility fixes. The full list can be found in our GitHub repository inside the descriptions of previous beta versions.

Hi! We can't wait to tell you about new AdGuard for Android version!

It has a little bit for everyone. If you like to have everything under control and customize filtering for every app, check out new settings section - 'Apps & Statistics'. It is much easier now to make your apps behave exactly as you want them to.

For custom filter rules enthusiasts we have a new modifier: $app. Create rules that affect only one specific app, or all other apps except for it.

Those who use Android N devices will save a lot of nerves now - new version of AdGuard automatically detects if an app is created specifically for Android N, which allows to avoid many problems (this affects some other potentially problematic apps too).

And everybody will notice a general increase in quality. Many bugs were fixed, many useful changes were made. All details are in the changelog below.

UI

[Added] ‘Apps & Statistics’ settings section #633

We decided to seriously redesign our Firewall section. There will be no more ‘Apps & Settings’ sub-section inside ‘Firewall’. Instead, we introduce a whole new first-level section named ‘Apps & Statistics’. It very much resembles the now gone ‘Apps & Settings’ but has some differences. For example, we got rid of ‘global’ switches - these buttons were too misleading.

Also, you can now disable network access when the screen is off, and you can configure it for each app separately. Not only new connections are not allowed when this option is enabled, but also all existing connections are terminated when the screen goes off.

Another big change is disposal of exclusions lists. Now you can simply add an app to exceptions through the ‘Apps and Statistics’ screen. There are other changes too, and we will not list them all here. We believe the new layout is more intuitive and you will have no troubles navigating through it.

Important note: this is not yet a big redesign we plan to do in AdGuard 3.0. Only the tip of the iceberg :)

[Added] An option to browse for a file to import user filter #120

[Added] A notification to inform user of expiring license #606

[Added] New localizations: Slovak & Norwegian Bokmål #688, #717

[Changed] Disabled vibration and sound for AdGuard notifications #205

[Changed] Instead of stopping protection on settings change, a toast message is showed #667

[Changed] When user changes default firewall settings, ask him if he wants to reset per-app settings #675

[Changed] Show notification when VPN is revoked #672

[Changed] AdGuard now counts DNS traffic towards a special “virtual” package named “DNS” #668

[Changed] Made some minor UI enhancements #684, #685, #687, #692, #697, #698, #700, #721, #726

[Fixed] AdGuard closes if you swipe it with ‘No icon’ notification setting #662

[Fixed] An issue with Samsung’s buggy firmware (messed notification sounds) #716

[Improved] Premium features description #669

[Improved] UI accessibility for a visually impaired users #519

Ad Blocking

[Added] $app modifier #544

This modifier will be useful for advanced users who create their own custom rules. It allows both blocking ads in a specific app and blocking ads everywhere except for that app. For example, Facebook uses same domains for both ads and useful stuff. This modifier allows to block facebook ads in other apps without breaking the Facebook app itself.

[Fixed] Detect if app targets Android N #653

Due to Android N security policy, HTTPs filtering is impossible for apps developed specifically for Android N, or other apps where user-installed certificates are not trusted. Previously that could lead to errors and app crashes. Now AdGuard detects if app targets Android N and does not filter HTTPS for such apps.

[Added] RoList filter to the list of supported filters #523

[Changed] Several browsers were added to the list of filtered by default #708, #731

[Fixed] Disabling filtering for “Android OS” now fully excludes OS packages from the VPN #732

[Improved] Added support for the :style pseudo class syntax #701

[Improved] Modified $empty modificator behavior to improve filtering #677

[Improved] Increased content filtering rules maximum length limit #590

Networking

[Changed] Allowed DNS requests for root user #535

[Fixed] An issue when allowed apps couldn’t connect when DNS was blocked #714, #720

[Fixed] SSL whitelist no more can be applied to random domains #738

[Fixed] Resolved shadowing of our Apache commons classes by old versions shipped in Android #709

[Improved] All our requests are now more secure with SSL/TLS #611

Install/Update

[Added] Automatic protection restart after AdGuard update #725

[Fixed] Self killing on update #696

Compatibility

From now on it will be much easier for users to add any app to exclusions. No need to go to low-level settings anymore, just open the apps screen in ‘Apps and Statistics’ and add it to exclusions from there.

Following compatibility issues were fixed:

Ad blocking interferes with videos in Mail.ru news app #711

Upload doesn’t work for Yandex Disk #736

Hello everyone!

It feels like we were releasing version 2.5 just yesterday, and yet we are ready to present to you a new one: Adguard for Android v.2.6! You will find quite a lot of improvements and new features there. Last version introduced HTTPs filtering, and in this one we made it faster by A LOT :) Now it is so much faster and more stable.
Also, our users get the ability to configure which DNS servers to use with DNS filtering, compatibility with other apps is improved, UI undergoes some tweaks, new filters are added to make filtering more comfortable... and much more!

Ad Blocking

[Added] Annoyances filter: #594

We have decided to create a new separate filter for irritating elements that disturb users or interfere with web surfing.

As you may know, we already have a Social media filter that removes numerous social media widgets and different buttons – “Like”, “Share”, “Tweet” etc. (we are sure you have noticed how many of them are on certain websites). Our new filter will go further in making your surfing even more comfortable. You can learn more about it in our blog.

[Added] Custom DNS servers: #139. With Adguard you can now override system DNS settings and use any DNS servers you like. Just as with proxy settings, Android does not allow you to do it when you are on mobile data, so Adguard is your only option. To do it: go to Settings - Advanced - Low-level settings - tap pref.vpn.dns and enter preferred DNS servers addresses (one per line).

Other changes:

[Added] Korean Adblock list: #556

[Added] Fanboy’s Swedish filter: #627

[Added] Fanboy’s Vietnamese filter: #589

[Added] LastPass app added to the browsers list: #476

[Fixed] Improved ad blocking in Youtube app: #573

[Fixed] Adguard fails to detect HTML on some websites: #554

Networking

[Added] Upstream proxy settings: #51.

One of the most asked questions about Adguard is “can I use it with another VPN?”. The usual answer was “no, you can’t have two VPN running together (unless you have root and use AG in proxy mode)”. We are very excited to announce that we have brought a new solution suitable for non-rooted devices. Does this allow you to use two VPNs at the same time? No, unfortunately this is still impossible. However, most popular VPN providers allow you to use proxy instead and that’s what you can do now with Adguard. For instance, if you are a PIA VPN user, you now can setup Adguard to use their SOCKS5 proxy. Learn more about it here (scroll down until you see “SOCKS5 proxy” link). You may want to use TOR along with Adguard and it is also possible now! Here is a short instruction on how to setup Adguard to work with Orbot: Proxy with Tor.

Run Orbot.

Open Adguard.

Go to Settings - Advanced, open Proxy settings.

Select SOCKS4 proxy type, set host to 127.0.0.1 and port to 9050.

That’s it, run Adguard protection and all your traffic is now going through TOR.

One more thing worth noticing is that Adguard is currently the only way to use proxy when you are on mobile data. Otherwise Android just does not provide such possibility.

[Added] New low-level setting allowing to block IPv6 traffic in Proxy+Auto filtering mode: #601

It appears that in Proxy+Auto mode Adguard cannot filter IPv6 traffic. As a temporary solution we’ve introduced new low-level setting “pref.proxy.block.ipv6” allowing to block IPv6 traffic to public networks. It is disabled by default, so if you have IPv6 offered by your ISP, you may want to enable it.

[Added] Low level switch for AG to dump HTTP/HTTPs content to a file: #502

This switch will be very useful to filters developers and enthusiasts. Adguard saves HTTP(s) requests in a HAR (http archive) v1.2 format which can be easily analyzed with a Fiddler app: #502

[Improved] HTTPs filtering performance: #501

Another popular question was about download speed drop over HTTPs. HTTPs filtering is a heavy operation, so that was expected. What was unexpected to us is that some services like Google Play may download apps over HTTPs. So, we have greatly optimized the filtering speed. On our test device it has showed an increase in 5-10 times!

Not so long ago we announced a soon-to-come release of new AdGuard for Android version, and we keep our promise by pushing out AdGuard 2.5 today. Lots of new features and bugfixes are awaiting you, and some of them are HUGE. If you keep track of our blog, or forum, you already know that the killer news of this release is adding the HTTPS filtering. And yes, that means no more ads in YouTube, Facebook or Twitter - you name it. But there are other reasons to get excited besides it. Read on to find out what are they.

HTTPS filtering

Previously, ads which are loaded using HTTPS were ignored. Now AdGuard can filter HTTPS protocol, which means that all such ads will be blocked. And these ads appear at many websites and apps - we already mentioned some of them above. To enable HTTPS filtering, simply go to AdGuard settings -> HTTPS filtering. Put checkmark besides 'Install certificate' checbox to install certificate, then enable 'Filter HTTPS connections' - all is ready now.

The upside of this is obviously huge, but there are a couple of drawbacks as well:

1. You will need to set a password or a lockscreen pattern. This is a system requirement with no workarounds.

2. You will get a 'Network may be monitored' notification after enabling HTTPS filtering and after each device reboot. This notification, however, can be swiped away.

HTTPS filtering works in two modes. By default, AdGuard will filter all HTTPS connections to all domains, except for domains from the whitelist. The other mode allows you to filter HTTPS connections to the domains from the blacklist only. We recommend blacklist mode for those with older smartphones and tablets, as filtering all HTTPS connections can possibly cause performance drop.

Privacy and security

From the beginning, the main goal of HTTPS was to secure your data that you transfer via network. We take privacy and security issues very seriously, and that's why we spent a lot of time to make sure you will not lose HTTPS advantages while filtering HTTPS protocol.

1. Your network traffic remains encrypted (because all the filtering happens inside your device).

2. AdGuard checks server certificates by itself, and with any hint of danger filtering of this connection will be ceased.

3. AdGuard is not affected by any SSL vulnerabilities which year 2015 was so rich of (it can be verified on SSL labs).

4. By default AdGuard doesn't filter connections with known bank domains and other websites with personal info. Since this beta we fixed a lot of bugs concerning HTTPS filtering.

For those who want full control and maximum security, blacklist filtering mode will probably suit more than default whitelist mode.

UI changes

[Added] New material icon #203

[Improved] Statistics detalization #48

[Changed] "Rate App" button was returned to "About" view in Amazon build #232

[Fixed] Changed selected text background in the Low level settings to differ from text color #260

Ad Blocking

[Changed] In Android 6.0 AdGuard now automatically pauses protection in the battery saver mode (unless battery optimization is disabled for AdGuard app) #247

We feel this is an important change. When Android is switched to power saving mode, all apps are cut off from internet. But AdGuard VPN was still alive and receiving all the packets from these apps. Now we simply disable protection for the duration of power saving mode. When battery saver mode is off, we automatically enable protection back.

[Added] $replace modifier for basic rules #239

[Changed] $popup rules are applied to "redirect" responses now #281

[Changed] Optimized filtering speed #470

[Fixed] AdGuard filters "application/xhtml" pages now #477

UI changes

[Added] New "Notification Icon" setting option: "Notification without icon": #2

So now we now have 4 options:

Default icon. Icon and notification are always visible.

Colored icon (only in Android 4.X). Icon and notification are always visible.

Notification without icon. Icon is not visible. Permanent notification is visible, but it has low priority, so it is semi-transparent and placed below all other notifications.
4 None. No icon, no notification.

[Changed] Make "Protection paused" a permanent notification: #1

This change should help with #3. When AdGuard pauses protection, sometimes Android may kill it's process and then do not bring it back.

[Changed] Add a description text for each filter: #9
[Changed] Change Mb to MB in firewall data statistics: #0
[Changed] "Protection paused" notification should not have high priority in Android 4.X: #5

Browsing Security

[Changed] Changed the way AdGuard checks domain: #2

VPN

[Changed] AdGuard now checks if IP address is reachable before redirecting connection to a proxy: #7
[Fixed] Crash when system call is interrupted: #0
[Fixed] "Filter DNS requests" feature does not work with mobile connection: #1

We have improved "Filter DNS requests" feature, now it is much more reliable and works for both Wi-Fi and Mobile connection. This feature may drastically improve the battery usage, so I recommend trying it.

Languages and translations

Multiple TCP stack improvements:

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
Proxy mode: DNS cache is now flushed on network reconnect

To find more information and discuss new version, visit our blog.

Added the long-awaited firewall feature. Now it is possible to fully control the internet access of apps in different networks. The apps won’t be able to go online and send any data without you knowing. In addition, by using our firewall, you can allow some apps to go to the network only via mobile Internet, while others (for example, ones that require a lot of traffic) – only through Wi-Fi.

Added app traffic monitoring system. You can monitor the consumption of app traffic in real time.

Adguard will show you which apps consume resources at the moment, and demonstrate the used traffic for day, month or all-time.

Added module for blocking advertising domains by DNS (can be found in advanced settings). DNS filtering consists in Adguard intercepting requests to the DNS server, which let the program know where the particular domain is, at what IP address. If requests to the domain should be blocked, then Adguard returns the special blocking response with a lifetime of 1 hour. During this hour, the program will no longer send requests to the DNS server, so the load will be reduced accordingly.

Added Material Design. We have switched to the Material design. Now Adguard is consistent and even more handsome :)

Added IPv6 filtering support. This protocol may not even be supported by your provider yet, and we have already added its support in VPN mode. Just keep using Adguard as if nothing has changed.

Implemented blocking of QUIC protocol in Google Chrome. Google servers are working based on it, and also with its help Google Chrome loads banners and text ads. At the moment, the use of this protocol gives no significant advantage to the user, therefore we decided to block this protocol.

Added simplified filtering mode without cosmetic rules. It is useful for low-end devices limited by memory and CPU resources. Banners are also wonderfully blocked, but once they are blocked, there will be “holes” that are usually hidden by some cosmetic rules that are present in other modes of filtering.

Added the import function for user rules lists from a file.

Added widget for your desktop, allowing one-click control for the ad-protection.

Added options for update channel - Beta/Release. If you plan on using latest beta updates, don't forget to check the checkbox in advanced settings.

Fixed problem with TCP-stack when downloading large files (in Google Play, etc.).

Remarkably redesigned UDP and TCP connections handling, which led to the load reduction and increase of concurrent connections number.

Use of system Intents to manage the service from other programs (Tasker, etc.) is now allowed.

Improved restarting protection after reconnecting to the network.

Fixed problem with sending MMS through the Verizon operator.

Fixed sending SMS for T-Mobile users.

Added support for NoChromo, Chrome Dev, Amazon Silk.

Added an exception for new Opera Max, you can now use it with Adguard in proxy mode.

Added new icons for different application states. Our notifications became more vivid and informative with new icons of pause, available update, or when a conflicting app is found on the device.

No more status bar colored icon option in Lollipop. In new Android version Google has released a new design requirements, and when we assembled Adguard for the new system while using new technologies, a color icon was “damaged” by assembly tools. Therefore, we had to abandon the colored icon in the Android Lollipop notification (5.0+).

Redesigned interface of user lists.

Added new languages and updated existing localization.

Many small but important fixes.

Fixed some bugs with HTTPS traffic filtering (known issue: conflict with Heroes Charge game)

Fixed an issue with Android killing app process in case of swiping it from recent apps

Improved HTTPS filtering, now we can block ads in Skype
Optimized programs performance
If the protection is disabled, Adguard service now turns off correctly after processing the network events
Improved filtering speed of heavy HTML pages
Fixed an issue with Android 4 killing Adguard after swiping task from recent
Fixed a bug with service autostart in case of wrong events order (if we receive network event first, then boot event)
We now use better way to exclude some apps from VPN on Lollipop
Fixed an issue with Adguards performance on Android 4.3 SGS3
Optimized memory consumption upon loading heavy files
Fixed some minor compatibility issues
