4.3 Beta 1

AdGuard v4.3 for Android beta brings you something not only special, but unprecedented. It’s the same AdGuard you know and love, but now with a TV-sized twist – and we mean that quite literally: we’re glad to introduce the support for Android TV! Important updates and a new Developer tools section are also here to enhance your user experience with our app

Android TV support

To provide full support for Android TV, we’ve developed a simplified version of AdGuard for Android featuring the most essential features to enhance your browsing experience and content filtering on your TV. The new design, fully adapted for Android TV.

Hold on to your remote, what you are about to experience is a brand new app!

Note: Android TV support is a feature exclusive to users with an AdGuard license.

Developer tools

We invite our advanced users and filter developers who interact very actively with the app to explore our new Developer tools, a specialized section designed for quick navigation and switching between features. There you can quickly enable or disable custom filters, access logs, enable recording of different logs, and more. This feature can be enabled in Low-level settings.

CoreLibs and DnsLibs updates

The recent CoreLibs v1.13 update boosts your browsing experience with improved HTML filtering, while the update of DnsLibs to v2.4 makes your connection more secure with support for HTTP basic authentication.

AdGuard Dynamics

Get ready for a dynamic experience as AdGuard for Android makes its way to your screens with exciting new features! Now our app not only has dynamic icons, it also has a dynamic theme.

If you enable this option in the settings, the AdGuard app interface and icon will match the color of your smartphone interface.

Please note that these features are only available on Android devices running version 12 or higher.

HTTP/3 filtering support #487

AdGuard now not only filters HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 traffic. In this release, we have added experimental support for HTTP/3 filtering. The HTTP/3 protocol, powered by the QUIC network protocol, provides better privacy and security, as well as a more stable and faster Internet connection. By enabling HTTP/3 filtering, you can take advantage of the QUIC protocol and effectively block ads and trackers.

To enable HTTP/3 filtering, go to Settings → General → Advanced → Low-level settings → Filter HTTP/3 and toggle the switch to the right.

Support for two HTTPS certificates

By implementing two HTTPS certificates, we have fixed an issue with HTTPS filtering in Chrome 100 and above on rooted devices. While the certificate in the system store will be responsible for filtering in most apps, the certificate in the user store will allow AdGuard to filter HTTPS traffic in Chromium-based browsers.

Installing certificates has also become easier: we’ve added step-by-step instructions.

To install the second certificate, go to Settings → Filtering → Network → HTTPS filtering → Security сertificates and follow the instructions.

Our filters have become even more powerful and we have also fixed a bunch of bugs to ensure stable performance of the app. Hurry up to update!

4.0

Remarkable сhanges in AdGuard v4.0 for Android

Finally, we are ready to reveal the result of titanic efforts! Let’s take a closer look at AdGuard v4.0 for Android and talk about what has changed since version 3.6.

Total reengineering

We've overhauled the entire app, meticulously rewriting every line of code from the ground up. This transformative revamp has resulted in an app that's not only faster, but also smoother than ever before.

Complete redesign

We've reimagined the design to make the app interface simpler and bring core features to the forefront. Now, to turn on Ad blocking, Tracking protection, Annoyance blocking, or DNS protection along with their filters, you can just tap the corresponding icon above the main switch.

We've also added a separate Protection section. Accessible by tapping the shield icon at the bottom of the screen, this section gives you even more control. Apart from the above-mentioned “core” features, this section allows you to manage Firewall, Browsing Security, and even AdGuard VPN. From the Protection screen, you can turn these modules on or off as you wish and access their settings.

Firewall

We've uncovered an exciting feature from the depths of AdGuard for Android — Firewall – and given it a full-fledged, independent status. With it, you are the master of your domain, deciding which apps can indulge in mobile data or Wi-Fi when the screen is off. It is designed to keep you in the know with real-time notifications of app activities, so nothing escapes your attention.

And for those lightning-fast modifications, head over to the Quick actions section where updating firewall rules has never been simpler. With Firewall, you can also block apps from accessing the Internet while in roaming, saving your precious megabytes abroad.

Detailed statistics

A dedicated tab offers comprehensive statistics about all apps, companies, and domains. Wondering which company's requests are blocked most often? Which apps are trying to send your data and to whom? You can quickly identify and block anything suspicious.

Integration with AdGuard VPN

As we wrote above, Integrated mode with AdGuard VPN was introduced in AdGuard v3.5 for Android. Until then, users had to go through seven circles of hell to get our ad blocker and VPN to work simultaneously. All because normally two different network-filtering apps can’t work alongside each other on Android.

With the release of AdGuard v4.0 for Android, Integrated mode has become more stable than ever. Previously, each time AdGuard or AdGuard VPN was updated or reinstalled, Integrated mode had to be reconfigured. Now, you configure it once and it will withstand updates and reinstalls while maintaining the integration. In addition, more frequent information exchange between AdGuard Ad Blocker and AdGuard VPN enhances the stability of Integrated mode without affecting performance.

Changes in Integrated mode are synced between AdGuard v4.0 for Android and AdGuard VPN v2.3 for Android. Be sure to update both apps to the latest versions to enjoy their most stable and smooth simultaneous operation in Integrated mode.

Selective app proxying

Before AdGuard v4.0 for Android, you could route all of your web traffic through a specified proxy server. With the Apps operating through proxy feature, located at Settings → Filtering → Network → Proxy, you can now choose which apps will work through your proxy. In addition, Apps operating through proxy allows you to specify which apps will route their traffic through AdGuard VPN when operating in Integrated mode.

Root access perks

For all the tech enthusiasts out there, the term “root” is no stranger to you. Rooting is essentially unlocking your device to gain more privileged control. If your Android device is rooted, AdGuard v4.0 for Android offers you unprecedented capabilities beyond any previous version of AdGuard Ad Blocker.

Traditionally, AdGuard routes network traffic to its CoreLibs filtering engine by establishing a local VPN. But now, with root access, you can switch AdGuard to the Automatic proxy mode. Just navigate to Settings → Filtering → Network → Routing mode and switch to Automatic proxy. This action takes local VPN out of the picture and instead configures iptables to accomplish the same goals. And there are several benefits to this change.

Firstly, AdGuard is now able to apply DNS filtering to IPv6 requests, something that was not possible before. Secondly, we've ironed out a few issues that hampered AdGuard from accurately associating web requests with their respective apps. This fine-tuning will enhance the performance of Firewall, Filtering log, and so forth. For those of you with rooted devices, this AdGuard update takes your control and customization to a whole new level!

Low-level settings rework

Diving into the realm of Low-level settings? Found under Settings → General → Advanced, these options are designed with the tech-savvy user in mind. It's a powerful playground, but it's also a place where it's all too easy to mess things up if you're not careful. Despite all the warnings we’ve placed, it's human nature to explore and experiment, often without fully understanding the consequences.

In response to this, we've made the Low-level settings more user-friendly and intuitive. It's now easier to understand what each setting does, and even if you do make a mistake, we've implemented security measures like validation checks for entered values to protect you from major missteps.

As for the settings themselves, we've added new ones, retired old ones, and have continued to refine this advanced toolset. A comprehensive guide on Low-level settings is available in our Knowledge base. So get ready for an enhanced, yet safer deep dive into the depths of customization with AdGuard's advanced settings!

4.0 beta 1

Remember when we talked about the first Nightly of AdGuard v4.0 for Android? It was the first version after a long break — with reworked design and texts, rewritten code, and new features.

Thanks to our development, QA, design, and content teams, we’re releasing the first beta version: refreshed, significantly more stable, and available in multiple languages.

Since the release of the first Nightly version, we’ve fixed more than 100 bugs! Though, it doesn't mean there are no more left (known issues are gathered on GitHub). If you encounter any, please let us know. Instructions on how to report bugs are below.

First Nightly updates

If you haven't read the post about Nightly, take a look. We wrote a lot about the changes compared to v3.6, the last AdGuard version before v4.0. There’s something useful for those who are not very tech-savvy, as well as for those who understand the details and are willing to dig even into low-level settings.

Here’s a brief overview of the improvements:

• Complete redesign. We made the design lighter, more minimalist, and easier to understand, and put the most important features on a separate screen — now it will be much easier to access them.

• Firewall. Now you can control the access to the Internet for all your apps — if you wish, prevent them from using the Internet without your knowledge.

• Statistics. Now you can view detailed stats for apps, companies, and domains. Complete transparency!

• Integration with AdGuard VPN. We’ve greatly enhanced the stability of the Integrated mode.
• Selective app proxying. Now you can exclude apps from your proxy — even from AdGuard VPN!
• Root access perks. On rooted devices, among other things, you can now apply DNS filtering to IPv6 requests — thanks to the Automatic proxy mode.
• Easier-to-understand low-level settings. We’ve updated the design and added clear descriptions as well as input validation so you can be sure that everything is working as it should.

What’s changed since the first Nightly

Support for multiple languages

Now the app supports more than 15 languages. But we know there’s much to be improved. If you notice that some translations are missing or if the app is not translated into your language, we’ll be thankful for your contributions on Crowdin. Read more about how to translate AdGuard products in our Knowledge base.

Firewall roaming support

Although this feature was already in the first Nightly version, it didn’t actually work — a truly nightly experience. But now you can block access to the Internet for specific apps when roaming. Megabytes, especially valuable when you're traveling abroad, won't be wasted.

Import and export of user rules, blocklists, and allowlists

In the first Nightly, you could only import settings as a whole. Now you can import user rules separately. It’s useful if you want to share your rules with someone or transfer them to your other AdGuard apps.

How to download beta

Visit the beta page, download the APK file of the beta version, and install it. Done! You’re ready to start exploring.

Alternatively, you can choose the beta channel right in the app. If you’ve used the Nightly channel, go to Settings → General → App and filer updates and switch to Beta.

If you’re using the Release channel, open Settings* → General → Updates → Update channel and select Beta.

To switch back to the Release channel, you’ll need to reinstall the app.

Report bugs and vote for feature requests

We’ve already talked about that earlier, so here’s a quick reminder:

1. Check out the Android repo to make sure the issue hasn’t been reported yet.
2. If the issue is new, open the page for creating new issues and select Bug report.
3. Describe the problem. If possible, attach screenshots or a screen recording.

If you want to support the implementation of a new feature or bugfix, you can vote for it on GitHub. To vote, just react with some emoji.

If you use AdGuard VPN and Ad Blocker in the Integrated mode, download the beta version of AdGuard VPN.

In conclusion

We're one step closer to the release we hope you'll enjoy. We would like to thank all the beta testers and translators for their dedication — with your help, bugs get fixed and the app gets better.
