Android TV 지원

Android TV를 완벽하게 지원하기 위해 TV에서 브라우징 환경과 콘텐츠 필터링을 향상시키는 가장 필수적인 기능을 갖춘 Android용 AdGuard 버전을 개발했습니다. Android TV에 맞게 완전히 조정된 새로운 디자인에는 다음이 포함됩니다:

적응형 온보딩

통계가 포함된 홈 화면

적응형 보호 화면

조정된 설정

앱 관리

DNS 보호

DNS 보호는 Android TV용 AdGuard의 핵심 기능입니다.암호화로 DNS 트래픽을 보호하면 웹을 탐색할 때 개인 정보가 보호됩니다. 이제 큰 화면에서도 이러한 보호 기능을 누릴 수 있습니다. 기본적으로 DNS-over-HTTPS가 선택되어 있지만, 다른 프로토콜이 필요한 경우, 자체 서버를 추가할 수 있습니다.

Android TV용 AdGuard 설치 방법은 블로그에서 확인할 수 있습니다.

참고: Android TV용 AdGuard를 사용하려면 라이선스가 필요합니다. 하지만 7일 체험 기간을 제공하기 때문에 무료로 사용해 볼 수도 있습니다.

개발자 도구

고급 사용자와 필터 개발자는 빠른 탐색과 기능 간 전환을 위해 특별히 설계된 새로운 개발자 도구 섹션을 살펴보시기 바랍니다. 여기에서 사용자 정의 필터를 빠르게 활성화 또는 비활성화하고, 로그에 접근하고, 다양한 로그의 기록을 활성화하는 등의 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다. 이 기능은 로우 레벨 설정에서 찾을 수 있습니다.

CoreLib 및 DnsLib 업데이트

최근 CoreLibs v1.13 업데이트는 향상된 HTML 필터링으로 브라우징 환경을 개선하고, DnsLibs를 v2.4로 업데이트하면 HTTP 기본 인증을 지원하여 연결을 더욱 안전하게 보호할 수 있습니다.

동적 아이콘 및 테마

Android용 AdGuard 4.2 버전이 출시되었습니다! 이제 앱에는 동적 아이콘뿐만 아니라 동적 테마도 있습니다.

설정에서 이 기능을 활성화하면 AdGuard 앱 인터페이스와 아이콘이 스마트폰 인터페이스의 색상과 일치합니다.

이러한 기능은 버전 12 이상을 실행하는 Android 기기에서만 사용할 수 있습니다.

HTTP/3 필터링 지원 #487

이제 AdGuard는 HTTP/1.1 및 HTTP/2 트래픽뿐만 아니라 HTTP/3도 필터링합니다. QUIC 네트워크 프로토콜로 구동되는 HTTP/3 프로토콜은 더 나은 개인정보 보호와 보안은 물론, 더 안정적이고 빠른 인터넷 연결을 제공합니다. HTTP/3 필터링을 활성화하면 QUIC 프로토콜을 활용하여 광고와 트래커를 효과적으로 차단할 수 있습니다.

HTTP/3 필터링을 사용하려면 설정 → 일반 → 고급 → 하위 수준 설정 → HTTP/3 필터링으로 이동하여 스위치를 오른쪽으로 전환합니다.

두 개의 HTTPS 인증서 지원

두 개의 HTTPS 인증서를 구현하여 루팅된 기기에서 Chrome 100 이상에서 HTTPS 필터링과 관련된 문제를 해결했습니다. 시스템 저장소의 인증서는 대부분의 애플리케이션에서 필터링을 담당하지만 사용자 저장소의 인증서는 Chromium 기반 브라우저에서 필터링할 수 있습니다.

단계별 지침을 추가하여 인증서 설치도 더 쉬워졌습니다.

두 번째 인증서를 설치하려면 설정 → 필터링 → 네트워크 → HTTPS 필터링 → 보안 인증서로 이동하여 지침을 따르세요.

필터가 더욱 강력해졌으며 앱의 안정적인 성능을 보장하기 위해 여러 가지 버그도 수정되었습니다.

With this release, we have made a number of improvements to the UI and internal workings of our app. For example, we've reworked the YouTube player to support all video formats, including Live Streams and Shorts. Actually, it's based on the internal web browser that opens YouTube and has ad-blocking functionality built in. Take a look at the Protection section for a detailed description of this feature. We also made it easier for you to access App management. It's now just one tap away via the button we've added to the tab bar menu at the bottom.

드디어 엄청난 노력의 결과를 공개할 준비가 되었습니다! Android용 AdGuard v4.0을 자세히 살펴보고 3.6 버전 이후 변경된 사항에 대해 알아보겠습니다.

토털 리엔지니어링

전체 애플리케이션을 재설계하여 모든 코드를 처음부터 다시 작성했습니다. 그 결과 앱이 그 어느 때보다 빨라졌을 뿐만 아니라 작동이 매끄러워졌습니다.

앱 재설계

앱 인터페이스를 더 단순하게 만들고 핵심 기능을 전면에 배치하기 위해 디자인을 재구성했습니다. 이제 필터와 함께 광고 차단, 추적 방지, 성가신 차단 또는 DNS 보호기능을 사용하기 위해서는 메인 스위치 위에 있는 해당 아이콘을 누르기만 하면 됩니다.

또한 별도의 보호 섹션을 추가했습니다. 화면 하단의 방패 아이콘을 탭하여 이 섹션으로 이동해 보다 세부적으로 관리할 수 있습니다. 위에서 언급한 ‘핵심’ 기능 외에도 이 섹션에서는 방화벽, 브라우징 보안, 심지어 AdGuard VPN까지 관리가 가능합니다. 보호 화면에서 이러한 모듈을 원하는 대로 켜고 끄고 설정할 수 있습니다.

방화벽

Android용 AdGuard의 구석 어딘가에서 흥미로운 기능인 방화벽을 다시 찾아내고 본격적이고 독립적인 지위를 부여했습니다. 이 기능을 사용하면 화면이 꺼져 있을 때 모바일 데이터 또는 Wi-Fi를 사용할 수 있는 앱을 결정할 수 있습니다.

또한 빠른 수정을 위해 퀵 액션 섹션에서 방화벽 규칙을 손쉽게 업데이트할 수 있습니다. 방화벽*을 사용하면 로밍 중에 앱이 인터넷에 접속하지 못하도록 차단하여 해외에서 귀중한 메가바이트를 절약할 수 있습니다.

세부 통계

통계 전용 탭에서는 모든 앱, 회사, 도메인에 대한 종합적인 통계를 보실 수 있습니다. 어떤 회사의 요청이 가장 자주 차단되는지, 어떤 앱이 내 데이터를 누구에게 보내려고 하는지 궁금하다면 의심스러운 것을 빠르게 식별하고 차단할 수 있습니다.

AdGuard VPN과 통합

위에서 언급했듯이 AdGuard VPN과의 통합 모드는 Android용 AdGuard v3.5에 도입되었습니다. 그 전까지는 AdGuard 광고 차단기와 VPN을 동시에 작동시키기가 정말 어려웠습니다. 일반적으로 안드로이드 휴대폰에서는 서로 다른 두 개의 네트워크 필터링 앱이 함께 작동할 수 없기 때문입니다.

Android용 AdGuard v4.0이 출시되면서 통합 모드가 이전보다 더욱 안정적으로 개선되었습니다. 이전에는 AdGuard 또는 AdGuard VPN을 업데이트하거나 재설치할 때마다 통합 모드를 다시 설정해야 했습니다. 하지만 이제는 통합 모드를 한 번만 설정하면 그것이 앱의 업데이트 및 재설치 후에도 유지됩니다. 또한 AdGuard 광고 차단기와 AdGuard VPN 간에 더 자주 정보를 교환할 시 성능에 영향을 주지 않으며 통합 모드의 안정성을 향상시킵니다.

통합 모드의 변경 사항은 Android용 AdGuard v4.0과 Android용 AdGuard VPN v2.3 간에 동기화됩니다. 두 앱을 모두 최신 버전으로 업데이트하면 통합 모드에서 가장 안정적이고 원활한 상태로 동시에 사용할 수 있습니다.

선택적 앱 프록시

Android용 AdGuard v4.0 이전에는 보호 → 네트워크 → 프록시에서 설정하여 지정된 프록시 서버를 통해 모든 웹 트래픽을 라우팅할 수 있었습니다. 이제 프록시를 통해 작동하는 앱 기능을 사용하면 어떤 앱이 프록시를 통해 작동할지 선택할 수 있고, 통합 모드에서 작동할 때 어떤 앱이 AdGuard VPN을 통해 트래픽을 라우팅할지 지정할 수도 있습니다.

루트 액세스 특전

기술 애호가라면 '루트'라는 용어가 낯설지 않으실 겁니다. 루팅은 기본적으로 디바이스의 잠금을 해제하여 더 많은 권한으로 제어할 수 있도록 하는 것입니다.

원래 AdGuard는 로컬 VPN을 설정하여 네트워크 트래픽을 CoreLibs 필터링 엔진으로 라우팅합니다. 하지만 이제 루트 액세스 권한이 있으면 AdGuard를 자동 프록시 모드로 전환할 수 있습니다. 설정 → 일반 → 네트워크 → 라우팅 모드로 이동하여 자동 프록시*로 전환하면 됩니다. 이 작업은 로컬 VPN을 사용하지 않는 대신 동일한 목표를 달성하도록 iptables를 구성합니다. 이러한 변화에는 몇 가지 이점이 있습니다.

첫째, AdGuard는 이제 이전에는 불가능했던 IPv6 요청에 DNS 필터링을 적용할 수 있습니다. 둘째, 웹 요청을 각 앱과 정확하게 연결하는 데 방해가 되었던 몇 가지 문제를 해결했습니다. 이 미세 조정을 통해 방화벽, 필터링 로그 등의 성능이 향상됩니다. 루팅된 기기를 사용하는 경우, 이번 AdGuard 업데이트를 통해 완전히 새로운 차원의 제어 및 맞춤 설정이 가능합니다!

로우 레벨 설정 재작업

로우레벨 설정의 영역으로 뛰어들고 싶으신가요? 설정 → 일반 → 고급에서 찾을 수 있는 이 옵션은 기술에 능숙한 사용자를 염두에 두고 설계되었습니다. 해당 기능은 강력한 기능이지만 잘못 설정할 경우 앱의 성능에 영향을 줄 수 있습니다. 그렇기 때문에 이러한 기능을 설정할 때는 주의하세요.

앱 로우레벨 설정으로 인한 사용자 실수를 줄이기 위해 인터페이스를 더욱 사용자 친화적이고 직관적으로 만들었습니다. 이제 각 설정의 기능을 더 쉽게 이해할 수 있으며, 혹여 실수하더라도 입력한 값에 대한 유효성 검사 등의 보안 조치를 구현하여 큰 실수로부터 사용자를 보호합니다.

설정 자체에 관해서는 새로운 설정을 추가하고 오래된 설정을 폐기했으며 이 고급 도구 세트를 지속적으로 개선했습니다. 로우레벨 설정에 대한 종합적인 가이드는 지식 창고에서 확인할 수 있습니다. 향상된 기능을 기대하세요.

Android용 AdGuard의 업데이트 아주 오래 기다려 주셔서 감사합니다! Android용 AdGuard의 새로운 버전으로 2023년을 시작합니다.

Android용 AdGuard v3.6.11의 주요 변경 사항은 핵심 필터링 엔진 CoreLibs 및 DNSLibs를 개선하는 것입니다. 또한 콘텐츠 필터링을 강화하고 애플리케이션 성능을 개선하기 위해 사소한 변경을 많이 했습니다.

DnsLibs가 v2.0.75로 업데이트#4324

크게 업데이트된 DNS 필터링 라이브러리 버전은 리소스를 덜 사용하고 더 빠르게 실행됩니다. 이제 DNS-over-QUIC 프로토콜은 RFC 9250 표준을 지원하며 DoQ는 더 이상 실험 단계에 있지 않습니다.

Encrypted ClientHello 지원을 위한 첫 번째 단계 DL#161

Encrypted ClientHello란 무엇인가요? 오늘날 거의 모든 인터넷 연결은 암호화되어 있으며 아무도 이 암호화된 연결 내부에 무엇이 있는지 볼 수 없습니다. 하지만, 한 가지 작은 문제가 있습니다. 연결의 첫 번째 패킷은 연결하려는 서버의 이름을 나타냅니다. 예를 들어, www.google.com을 열려고 하는 경우, ISP는 사용자가 보내고 받는 내용을 정확히 볼 수 없지만 통신 중인 웹 사이트는 알고 있습니다. ECH(Encrypted ClientHello)는 이 문제를 해결하고 암호화되지 않은 정보를 암호화하는 새로운 기술입니다.

AdGuard에서 ECH를 지원하기 위한 첫 번째 단계는 ECH를 억제하는 것입니다. 로우 레벨 설정에서 pref.dns.block.ech 및 pref.https.redirect.doh 플래그를 모두 켜면 됩니다.

그러나 걱정하지 마십시오. 브라우저뿐만 아니라 모든 앱이 ECH의 이점을 누릴 수 있도록 전 세계 사용자에게 ECH 지원을 제공하고자 합니다. 이를 달성하기 위해 AdGuard는 앱이 정기적인 HTTPS 연결을 설정하도록 한 다음 앱을 대신하여 ECH 지원 연결을 설정합니다. 이 실험적 기능은 다음 업데이트에 예정되어 있으므로 계속 지켜봐 주시기 바랍니다.

CoreLibs가 v1.10.186으로 업데이트

DNS-over-HTTPS 필터링

보안 DNS 요청을 로컬 DNS 프록시로 리디렉션하는 옵션이 추가되었습니다. #1563

Chrome 및 Firefox DNS 쿼리는 때때로 DNS-over-HTTPS 서버를 사용하여 DNS 필터링을 우회할 수 있습니다. 이제 AdGuard는 DNS-over-HTTPS도 자동으로 필터링할 수 있습니다.

pref.https.redirect.doh 기능은 실험적이며 로우 레벨 설정에서 활성화할 수 있습니다. 향후 버전에서는 이 기능을 기본적으로 활성화할 계획입니다.

향상된 콘텐츠 필터링

다음과 같은 새로운 기능은 필터 개발자에게 중요하고, 콘텐츠 필터링 가능성을 확장합니다.

기타 개선 사항

Soul Browser에 대한 HTTPS 필터링은 기본적으로 활성화되어 있습니다.#4202

기타 수정 사항

이중 인증(2FA) 확인 시 경우에 따라 코드 입력 페이지가 사라지는 경우가 있었습니다.

AdGuard가 로컬 VPN을 만들지 않았고 보호가 시작되지 않았습니다.#4269

네트워크가 Wi-Fi에서 모바일 데이터로 변경되면 인터넷이 작동하지 않았습니다.#4265

iRobot Home 앱과의 호환성 문제 #4273

이번 버전에서는 연결 상태를 확인하는 방법을 개선했습니다. 이제 앱이 인터넷 연결 여부를 더 잘 판별합니다.

앱의 안정성을 높이고 사소한 버그를 수정하기 위한 기술 업데이트입니다.

이 버전에는 DPI로부터 보호라는 새로운 기능이 탑재되었습니다. ISP의 심층 패킷 검사 시스템이 방문하는 웹 사이트를 감지하지 못하도록 나가는 트래픽을 수정합니다. 이 기능을 활성화하려면 스텔스 모드에서 ‘사용자 정의’를 선택하고 아래로 스크롤해 보세요.

그리고 루팅된 기기 문제를 해결했습니다. 구글 크롬의 인증서 투명성 기능으로 인해 HTTPS 트래픽을 읽는 데 사용되는 시스템 인증서를 루트 기기에서 찾을 수 없습니다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 CoreLibs 팀은 Magisk Manager용 특수 모듈을 개발했습니다. 이제 HTTPS 인증서를 복사하면 새 크롬에 문제가 발생하지 않습니다.

또한 네이버 웨일 브라우저에 대한 기본 HTTPS 필터링을 구성하고 CoreLibs 및 DnsLibs를 업데이트했습니다.

📲 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

[Fixed] Keenetic app compatibility issue with AdGuard #4035

[Fixed] Cosmote Greek carrier VoWiFi blocking #3821

[Enhancement] Add 360 browser to the list of browsers #4040

[Enhancement] Updated CoreLibs to v1.8.274 #4061

[Enhancement] Updated DnsLibs to v1.6.70 #4051

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.

So, what’s inside it? We could write about updated CoreLibs and DnsLibs, improved data collection for reports and minor issues like parsing SDNS links for DoQ servers, but honestly, not many people would understand what the hell it means. Trust us, the app has only gotten better!

P.S. v4.0 is coming. Hopefully, v3.6.2 will be the last way station before the new era.

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.

Today we are launching a small but still very important hotfix. Namely, the compatibility with the new Chrome 87 was improved and the CoreLibs was updated.

[Other] ERR_HTTP2_PROTOCOL_ERROR on some websites #1374

This week Chrome 87 was released, which has a compatibility problem with AdGuard when using the HTTP/2 filtering protocol - some sites may experience regular hangs and download errors. In this update we have improved HTTP/2 filtering compatibility with Chrome 87, it is recommended to upgrade to the new stable version as soon as possible. :)

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

[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.

With releases like this one it's hard to build up excitement, but they are necessary. There are no major new features or radical design decisions. 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.

[Improved] CoreLibs has been updated

If you’ve been around the block, you know how we have it here: up goes the release, and the next day it’s the hotfix time. No exception with AdGuard 3.0, on some devices there’ve been problems with Wi-Fi calling, and some users reported updating issues.

[Fixed] Update from v2.12 messes up DNS settings #2643

[Fixed] Changing theme or language triggers "problematic device" notification #2644

[Fixed] Wi-Fi calling issue on LG phones #2645

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!

[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.

[Fixed] Compatibility issues

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

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

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

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

[Changed] Translations for 'Advanced settings' screen have been updated #1507

[Fixed] Protection is restarted when you open HTTPS filtering menu #1605

[Fixed] Crash in Amazon version #1608

[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! :)

[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.

[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

[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

[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

[Fixed] Crash due to "Too many open files" error #834

[Fixed] ENOBUFS error while writing to the TUN #724

[Fixed] SOCKS 5 proxy blocks internet traffic #660

[Fixed] Error processing HTTP/2 requests #850

[Fixed] HTTPS connections with some upstream HTTP proxy #839

[Fixed] "Operation not permitted" error while processing UDP connection #840

[Fixed] Issue with traffic slipping through firewall #765

[Improved] HTTPS is now used for safebrowsing service requests #912

[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

[Changed] 'Apps and Statistics' section renamed to 'Apps Management' and brought to the main menu #823

[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

Samsung Battery Saving mode #378, #656

HTC battery optimization #536

Sync for Reddit app #645

Cortana voice app #661

Lazada app #680

Smart appointments in Google Calendar #658

Following apps were added to exclusions due to problems caused by filtering:

Idealo, Mountainview, Itau, Yik Yak, Box, Jet, MeetMe, MoovIt, Waze, Prisma, Grindr, Romeo Uncut, SwiftKey, S Voice, Goes, NU.nl, com.samsung.syncservice, Coursera, Astana Bank, Google Now, Yandex Navigator, Heetch, TomTom Go Mobile, Amazon apps, some banking apps

(Issues: #673, #729, #641, #516, #642, #676, #612, #528, #492, #733, #715, #710, #702, #712, #686, #679, #674, #659, #655, #650, #637, #584, #447, #624, #647)

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.

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

[Added] Estonian language: #7

Patch for AdGuard 2.1. This patch fixes a few major bugs discovered in the previous release.

[Added] New low-level setting "pref.net.exclusions". Allows to change the list of apps for which network filtering is disabled.

[Fixed] Problem with filtering stuck at detecting filtered app.

[Fixed] Cannot download file larger than 2Gb.

[Fixed] [Critical] Wakelock when there are semi-closed connections.

[Fixed] Compatibility issue with My JDownloader.

[Fixed] App crash while checking if app is in foreground.

[Fixed] Disabled update check for Amazon build.

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
Multiple GUI improvement in Low-Level Settings
A new preference "pref.vpn.capture" added to low-level settings. If this setting is enabled, Adguard will create the special file named «tun.pcap». It contains all network packets transferred through the VPN. This file is located in the app cache directory, and can be analyzed with the Wireshark program.
Optimized Pcap functionality in Low-Level Settings
Update channel options are hidden for Amazon builds
Fixed handling of HTTP CONNECT requests without Host header
Small UI fix on Send Feedback screen
Added new localizations: Czech, French, Turkish, Serbian, Spanish

'Firewall' section added to settings, with an ability to disable it comletely.
Firewall: Added an ability to temporary pause blocking for foreground application
Added low-level settings that can help with the work in non-standard networks and custom firmware
An option has been added to low-level configuration, which prohibits VPN pause when changing the network or disconnecting from it
Reworked the DNS-filtering - now it should work even where external DNS are blocked
Reworked the application life cycle: now the protection can be turned off/on without any issues
Fixed application restart after deep sleep
Fixed critical error that led to Adguard restart
Fixed a mechanism for identifying modem and access point mode and showing a warning
Fixed authorization problem in the Moscow Subway
Fixed problem sending SMS/MMS in the AT&T network
Fixed an issue with collecting traffic statistics
Fixed rare problem with automatic filter updates
Fixed an issue with firewall interface on small screens
Added support for new browsers: Dolphin Zero, Ghostery, CM Private Browsing, Jbak Browser and more
Exceptions added: Handcent Next SMS, Chomp SMS, FarmVille 2
Updated German and Polish localizations
Fixed several issues in the interface

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
