How to setup outbound proxy
This article explains how to set up some of the most popular proxies to work with AdGuard.
How to use AdGuard with Tor
Open AdGuard and go to Settings > Network > Proxy settings. Download "Orbot: Proxy with Tor" by tapping Integrate with Tor or directly from Google Play.
Open Orbot and press the Start button on the application's main screen.
Go back to the Proxy Settings screen of AdGuard.
Tap the Integrate with Tor button.
All the required fields will be pre-filled:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Proxy type | SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 |
| Proxy host | 127.0.0.1 |
| Proxy port | 9050 |
Or you can tap Add proxy, enter these values manually, and set Orbot as a default proxy.
- Enable AdGuard protection.
Now AdGuard will forward all traffic through Orbot. If you disable Orbot, Internet connection will be unavailable until you disable outbound proxy settings in AdGuard.
How to use AdGuard with PIA (Private Internet Access)
Here we presume that you are already a PIA VPN client and have it installed on your device.
Open AdGuard and go to Settings > Network > Proxy settings.
Tap the Add proxy server button and enter the following data:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Proxy type | SOCKS5 |
| Proxy host | proxy-nl.privateinternetaccess.com |
| Proxy port | 1080 |
You also need to fill out the Username/Password fields. To do so, log in to the Client Control Panel on the PIA website. Click the Generate Password button under the Generate PPTP/L2TP/SOCKS Password section. A username starting with "x" and a random password will be shown. Use them to fill out the Username and Password fields in AdGuard.
Set this proxy as a default one by toggling the switch, then click Save.
Enable AdGuard protection.

How to use AdGuard with Shadowsocks

Note: You should remove Shadowsocks application from filtering before setting up the process (AdGuard - Apps management - Shadowsocks - Disable AdGuard protection) to avoid infinite loops and drops.
Open AdGuard and go to Settings > Network > Proxy settings.
Tap the Add proxy server and fill the fields:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Proxy type | SOCKS5 |
| Proxy host | 127.0.0.1 |

Limitations
There is a factor that can prevent certain traffic from being routed through the outgoing proxy. AdGuard will only re-route traffic that goes through it. Basically, it means apps that have Ad blocking flag enabled in the Apps Management tab.
