This article is about AdGuard for Android, a multifunctional ad blocker that protects your device at the system level. Pour voir comment ça fonctionne, téléchargez l'application AdGuard
The Settings tab can be accessed by tapping the right-most icon at the bottom of the screen. This section contains various settings, information about your app, license & subscription, and various support resources.
Général
This section helps you manage the appearance and behavior of the app: you can set the color theme and language, manage notifications, and more. If you want to help the AdGuard team detect app crashes and research usability, you can enable Auto-report crashes and Send technical and interaction data.
Under App and filter updates, you can configure automatic filter updates and select an app update channel. Choose Release for more stability and Beta or Nightly for early access to new features.
Advanced settings
Automation allows you to manage AdGuard via tasker apps.
Watchdog helps protect AdGuard from being disabled by the system (read more about Android's battery save mode). The value you enter will be the interval in seconds between watchdog checks.
Logging level defines what data about the app's operation should be logged. By default, the app collects the data about its events. The Debug level logs more events — enable it if asked by the AdGuard team to help them get a better understanding of the problem. Read more about collecting and sending logs
The Low-level settings section is for expert users. Read more about low-level settings
Filtering
This section allows you to manage HTTPS filtering settings, filters, and userscripts, and set up a proxy server.
Filtres
AdGuard blocks ads, trackers, and annoyances by applying rules from its filters. Most features from the Protection section are powered by AdGuard filters. If you enable Basic protection, it will automatically turn on the AdGuard Base filter and AdGuard Mobile Ads filter. And vice versa: if you turn off both filters, Basic protection will also be disabled.
Filters enabled by default are enough for normal AdGuard operation. However, if you want to customize ad blocking, you can use other AdGuard or third-party filters. To do this, select a category and enable the filters you'd like. To add a custom filter, tap Custom filters → Add custom filter and enter its URL or file path.
If you activate too many filters, some websites may work incorrectly.
Scripts utilisateur
Userscripts are miniprograms written in JavaScript that extend the functionality of one or more websites. To install a userscripts, you need a special userscript manager. AdGuard has such a functionality and allows you to add userscripts by URL or from file.
AdGuard Extra
AdGuard Extra is a custom userscript that blocks complex ads and mechanisms that reinject ads to websites.
Désactiver AMP
Disable AMP is a userscript that disables Accelerated mobile pages on the Google search results page.

Filtrage HTTPS
To block ads and trackers on most websites and in most apps, AdGuard needs to filter their HTTPS traffic. Read more about HTTPS filtering
Security certificates
To manage encrypted traffic, AdGuard installs its CA certificate on your device. It's safe: the traffic is filtered locally and AdGuard verifies the security of the connection.
On older versions of Android, the certificate is installed automatically. On Android 11 and later, you need to install it manually. Installation instructions
The CA certificate in the user store is enough to filter HTTPS traffic in browsers and some apps. However, there are apps that only trust certificates from the system store. To filter HTTPS traffic there, you need to install AdGuard's CA certificate into the system store. Instructions
HTTPS-filtered apps
This section contains the list of apps for which AdGuard filters HTTPS traffic. Please note that the setting can be applied for all apps only if you have CA certificates both in the user store and in the system store.
HTTPS-filtered websites
This setting allows you to manage websites for which AdGuard should filter HTTPS traffic.
HTTPS filtering allows AdGuard to filter the content of requests and responses, but we never collect or store this data. However, to increase security, we exclude websites that contain potentially sensitive information from HTTPS filtering.
You can also add websites that you consider necessary to exclusions by selecting one of the modes:
- Exclude specific websites from HTTPS filtering
- Filter HTTPS traffic only on the websites added to exclusions
By default, we also do not filter websites with Extended Validation (EV) certificates, such as financial websites. Si nécessaire, vous pouvez activer l'option Filtrer les sites web avec des certificats EV.
Proxy
You can set up AdGuard to route all your device's traffic through your proxy server. How to set up an outbound proxy
In this section, you can also set up a third-party VPN to work with AdGuard, if your VPN provider allows it.
Under Apps operating through proxy, you can select apps that will route their traffic through your specified proxy. If you have Integration with AdGuard VPN enabled, this setting plays the role of AdGuard VPN's app exclusions: it allows you to specify apps to be routed through the AdGuard VPN tunnel.
Routing mode
This section allows you to select the traffic filtering method.
- Local VPN filters traffic through a locally created VPN. This is the most reliable mode. Due to Android restrictions, it is also the only system-wide traffic filtering method available on non-rooted devices.
The Local VPN mode doesn't allow AdGuard to be used simultaneously with other VPNs. To use another VPN with AdGuard, you need to reconfigure it to work in proxy mode and set up an outbound proxy in AdGuard. For AdGuard VPN, this is done automatically with the help of the Integrated mode.
Automatic proxy is an alternative traffic routing method that does not require the use of a VPN. One significant advantage is that it can be run in parallel with a VPN. This mode requires root access.
Manual proxy involves setting up a proxy server on a specific port, which can then be configured in Wi-Fi settings. This mode requires root access for Android 10 and above.
Licence
In this section, you can find information about your license and manage it:
- Buy an AdGuard license to activate the full version's features
- Log in to your AdGuard account or enter the license key to activate your license
- Sign up to activate your 7-day trial period if you haven't used it yet
- Refresh the license status from the three-dots menu (⋮)
- Open the AdGuard account to manage your license there
- Reset your license — for example, if you've reached device limit for this license and want to apply another one
