Hi All,
does anybody has Adguard app ( not private DNS ) sucessfully running with One UI ?
I tried Blokada but could not get that relieable working. Always gets killed or somewhat ...
Could not try Adguard atm as i'm still waiting for my new device.
Maybe someone has tried that and could give his experience here and maybe tell the settings which are needed.
Thanks in advance.
I am successfully using AdGuard on my GM781U. It used to disable itself every once and awhile, but has been very stable the past few months. Not sure if one of the recent updates to AdGuard helped.
I had tried both DNS66 and Blockada with decent results, but it has been awhile, so don't remember why I ended up getting AdGuard.
Also you can combine AdGuard Content Blocker (free, Google Play) with your Yandex or Samsung browser + any adblocker DNS (like dns.comss.one) if you want to minimize delay in loading web pages and not experience adblock app blocking by background services management mechanisms.
Previously, I used only Adguard standalone app and it seemed to me that its work was unstable, often the Internet was simply interrupted or some other apps refused to accept its CA certificate.

I have Blokada working on my S20FE. What's the problem you are experiencing?

I tried them all; adfree, adaway, adblock + and nothing seems to block ads.
Had the issue with 4.2.2 and now with 4.3. There are ads in the browser and all the apps.
I have root and downloaded hosts file, tried the web server option and nothing works.

Wifi or 3g?
On 3g is network dependent, if your operator is using a proxy then adaway will not work.
Just check with wifi and you are right there are no ads.
I guess theres nothing that can be done with lte
1. tip:
install elixir2 and deactivate for every app activities e.g. with following names:
.ad.
.google.analytics.
.advert.
...
2. tip:
install xposed framework, then download the modules "youtube adaway" (blocks ad on youtube) and "xod" (blocks a lot of google ad in many apps)
3. tip:
use dolphin browser and activate the option called something like "show flash-content only when clicked on", like this no flash-based ad will be shown/loaded during surfing
With these quite simple tips most ad I would ever see on my phone is vanished and won't drain battery etc.
Btw. see my thread about battery life, if you want more info on these tips (because i included the mentioned 3 with more details in my thread)
Thanks dolphin works great and I see no ads.
Also installed the xposed modules since the YT ads bugged me the most, to lazy for the elixir2 though, it's good enough like this.
You have some good advice in your thread, I already do most of it, what I need anyway.
This is an awesome add blocker...

If anyone is having the same issue, try to leave the apn proxy blank.
I'm on bell and it works, I get a connection and there are no ads.
Been trying both Blockada and DNS66, however when I try to start the service the VPN dialogue won't let me select OK to setup the VPN. Anyone else tried?
I've got DNS66 working fine here. I'd installed it on Nougat, but it continues to work on Oreo.
I've just stopped the VPN service through the DNS66 app interface several times and restarted it. And also switched VPN on and off in the Android settings (where DNS66 is listed). If I switch it on or off in either of these locations the same state is truly reflected in the other, and in both the key icon appears on the status bar with ads being blocked as expected.
So, it does work and has here managed to do its job unnoticed since I got the Nokia 8. I guess you've tried uninstall/reinstall clearing caches? If not give it a go. Any way you know now that it's possible to have it work.
Good luck with your effort to get your VPN sorted
Another app i was using to round the corners was causing the problem. Removing it, setting up VPN then reinstalling solved the issue.
I didn't want to hijack the Adhell 3 thread so am starting a new one
I managed to install Adhell 3 yesterday on my S10 and absolutely love it (the Internet is so snappy!!) however I've just gone to install an app from Google Play Store (and update an app) and it freezes at the installation part, draining rate battery. The only thing I've done different is install AH3 but have whitelisted Google Play Store as I was thinking the blocking of the app was what was doing it but am still having issues. Really not sure if the 2 are connected, its just the other thing that's changed since I last installed an app (right before I managed to get AH3 on my phone)
Did you by any chance disabled device security app in Adhell?

ha! I did!!! In another battery optimization forum, some people have had success with disabling the device security meanwhile others have had it "break" GPS...in my case, it "broke" GPS
It gets better, you can use the DNS changer in Adhell3 to setup say, 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1 Cloud DNS
instead of use the VPN app which makes banking apps not function, and w/o having to run some code over ADP to change the system DNS.
Ohhhh!!!!
I have an iPhone 8 Plus and now the Huawei P30 Pro and the amount of ads that pop up on apps and Google Chrome Browser are crazy many. I probably get about 2 to 4 times as many ads on the Huawei P30 Pro as I do on my iPhone. For example on the Flipboard app for News practically half the app is ads now using the Huawei P30 Pro. Anyone know how to get rid of most of these ads?
Settings - Private DNS - and add this : dns.adguard.com
That should block most of the ads.

Does this work on Chrome Browser or should it be used with another browser for better results? What about ads that pop up on apps like Flipboard?

Changing your private dns to adguard works phone wide. However you still will have pop ups and stuffs but most of the ads will be blocked. If you wan't to completely block ads while browsing the internet, then Brave browser would be an alternative browser for you. Only issue is, you wont be able to sync your stored google passwords and stuffs.

Does it work better with any particular browser like Chrome or Microsoft Edge Browser?

Im not sure, i only use chrome. Try and let us know.
Use Blokada from fdroid store.
Can tell that dns66 doesn't work so well or i misconfigured something.
But the amount of ads makes me want to return mz p30 pro since there is no root available to use adaway
Hmm blockada seems to work better. Gonna stick with that.
try adguard also there a chance you might like it as well

does the same as changing your phones dns. (dns.adguard.com)
Blockada changes your dns, not more, not less.

Actually not true, Blokada runs a VPN which blocks much more than the DNS, give it a try before judging.

Bullsh*t... its the same principle, Blockada creates a vpn tunnel and blocks advertising on a dns basis.
Yes ... blockada has its own adblock lists, but its remains what it is, a dns blocking adblocker as dns.adguard.com
Here is the info how blockada works:

well you might be right but having adguard or blockada you can add more filters or customize it to your liking, just adding the dns of adguard you wont be able to exclude any website you want
Set up dns on Settings > Wireless & Networks > Private DNS with dns.adguard.com
Hello,
With the new firmware update I'm not able to connect to adguard or nordvpn on my s10.
Any solution much appreciated!
Hmm, I haven't tried any others but Winscribe is working fine for me.
My error
Workaround for me is to use openvpn app from play store and import a nordvpn udp profile.
This is working OK. But not adguard or nordvpn.
Update:
I had raised this issue with nordvpn support.
They seemed to have fixed this issue in their latest version their app from their website (not playstore).
We must uninstall previous app completely including clearing data/cache first.
Vpn wise Blokada is working just fine for ad blocking
nope, blokada is NOT working for me, and yes I tried many settings but ads keep coming through at aps ... unfortunately
and the worst is we can not downgrade from the August update (if any one has a suggestion on this I am open)
thanks for any workarounds
Someone already tried to a full factory reset to fix the issue (I tried Blokada, forticlient and Adguard but all have the same issues)
Wireguard working fine here with August security patch. Maybe it's a problem specific to the Exynos version?
Did nobody realise that latest update from Samsung made the App ( NetGuard) again 100% working?
Happy for now again, on my S10
