Hello, I think you only have to enter dns.adguard.com in WiFi & Internet / Private DNS
Such a easy way but I couldn't see that, thanx it works. So no need blokada.

I added it but how do u get to block ads?
You simply set it and it block ads :
What is AdGuard DNS?
AdGuard DNS is a free, privacy-oriented DNS resolution system that blocks tracking, ads and phishing. You can use it instead of your current DNS provider.

You do nothing, it's adguard DNS server that block them directly before they arrive to your phone. That's the 'new' way to adblock, using DNS provider with adblock lists included

Private dns
It only works on WiFi. Not mobile data.
Yes it does: it works on both wifi and mobile networks, as good and seamlessly as Adaway.
No need to root only for adblocking anymore.
If non-rooted, you don't need Blokada or any VPN based adblocker anymore.
Just set:
Settings > Wi-Fi & Internet > Private DNS > dns.adguard.com
and you are good without any additional app.
* Edit, may 2023
Now it's
dns.adguard-dns.com
It blocks ads AND trackers

Just keep in mind that with using this, you cant add any apps or sites to exceptions for when they won't work properly due to the adguard DNS blocking content. Only reason why I use the adguard app (use it on my 2 PCs and phone for an amazing deal) is so I can add exceptions or turn it off easily when needed.

My phone has an uptime of 475h, so the answer is : no
But we probably don't have the same apps installed, it can be a conflict between private dns and an app.

Hi!
I'm a novice in the Android, XDA world...
I recently bought a G3, and after 1 day I had upgraded to Froyo.
But I'm having some troubles with proxy...
At my home, I don't need it, so everything works fine using my wifi connection.
But at work, I configure the proxy and Web Brower, Navigation, and others apps keeps working.
OTHO, some apps can't connect (eg. market, maps, rom gripper, etc).
Anybody knows where I can configure the default way of general apps connect to internet?
TKS.
The proxy probably filters your traffic and blocks it on not well-known ports. You should ask its administrator for details on what kind of traffic it allows (if that is feasible).

The proxy only allows connections on port 3128.
Do you think that some apps just woks with port 80?
And, if that's the case, anybody knows how to change it?

^i thikn itd be easier to use a different proxy than change app ports, but im not sure

I guess you're talking about use some app that changes the proxy address for all, include apps...
I'm using native G3 proxy settings. I tried connect using proxy with other apps but anyone did it for me, just the android's stock.
I need a file on system that allows me to change the connection configurations (I mean... I think I need it! )
Hey, Nathan I'm having a similar problem except that only port 8080 is open through proxy.
I am using transproxy to connect to the net.
All apps work except Market downloads and Gtalk dont work.
Did u get a solution ?

I can't do it yet. Here, the port that is open is 3128.
Some apps just bypass the proxy settings.
Even when I let the proxy (configured because my workplace network)configured, market works at my home (where there's no proxy).
But browser and others (that works fine with proxy) don't.
I don't know if this is a built-in app configuration (if it is, the only way is to create a route, using the address called by app, redirecting to the proxy - actually, I thought in that just now! I'll test it later! ), that is present on Market, Navigation, Maps and others...
Or if this is a system configuration. If it is, all we need is to find where its defined and change that.

No. Using G3 stock's proxy settings, some apps can't connect to the internet.
I'm not a Android or Linux expert... so I need help...

That's because somebody(as u mentioned) changed the proxy settings,u will have to undo it and they would work again.

I use my grouper most times connected to Connectify hotspot on my PC. I have never been able to use any VPN app on the grouper. What could be wrong. Pls help.
Have you tried using the stock VPN , proXPN app not working on lollypop, but does work, if you put the setting in by hand.

I'm on Lollipop. How do i get the information to fill into the VPN settings?
Name:
Type: PPTP (default)
PPP encryption (MPPE)
DNS search domains
DNS servers (eg 8.8.8.8)
Forwarding routes (eg 10.0.0.0/8)
Honestly i don't know what to fill in those boxes
What (who's) VPN are you using?
Mine were on proXPN Web site.
Try Google ing it.

Change vpn
I am also using same version of android and facing vpn connection issue as there are many tools i tried but bad luck.. Finally i am using ipvanish which is one of the best tool for android devices. I am living in us and choosing best vpn for android from vpnranks.
Anyone know why it is that Chrome for android bypasses OpenDNS settings. I've applied the DNS on the router, other browsers get filtered however chrome just dosnt seem to work. Can anyone shed any light on this?
i use open dns on router too and chrome works just fine on my fathers tablet.check if your wifi settings for your network are set to DHCP. if it's static then maybe you have set different dns on your device so your phone bypass the router settings. this is the only thing i can thing right now. oh also try to clear chrome data and cache from app manager.

Ah yeah that must be a pain. Static costing me like ￡5 a month so not a big price. Although I've heard its a lot easier to get "hacked" when on things like Xbox online.

for me my carrier sells static ip for 6 € per month.I don't think that static ip will made you open to attacks.The truth is if someone know your ip can try to attack you but your router has firewall so what the possibilities? Also close UPnP thats more unsecure to that stuff

Hi friends, i try to secure my children phones from accessing not wonted sites. At home i configured mikrotik router so there is no way to bypass restrictions. But i cannot control what they access from mobile network.
The ideal way would be to connect phone to home VPN . Is there a way to force phone use VPN so user could not just switch it off?
In that case all home network rules and restrictions would work.
If you have some ideas about it, please share.
P.S. I did it recently when noticed that 8 year old neighbor children are watching porn...
I never tried it, but you could check if "Multiple users" gives you the chance to create a low privileged user which could maybe not edit network/vpn/dns settings?
Maybe you could setup the main accounts &co from the admin user and secure it with your fingerprint, then grant your childs just the "guest" user access?
Maybe give it a try and check what those users (a new one you create or the guest one) are allowed to do and if that achieves your objective

My mother utilized Norton Family to limit what could be seen and not seen. You can also utilize the built in family link ability from google to block searches on google and app store. Link for reference: https://protectyoungeyes.com/content/android-parental-controls-complete-guide-parents/
As far as what you are asking, you could use adguard to create the persistent VPN and use their family dns set up. Once done you can always use an app locker to lock the app settings and the app itself so it can't be uninstalled.
maybe you can test an app locker. with it, they can't stop the app vpn if they haven't the code lock

You can use an APP locker to lock the settings.
If you can't access the settings you can't turn it off.

Try private dns: dns-family.adguard.com
Read here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-dns-announcement/amp.html
One problem with the "lock the VPN settings" is that the VPN swithes off fairly randomly. On my phone, I set up a VPN using my home router, and connect to it while on mobile. But at random points in the day it disconnects. It's necessary to go back into VPN settings to turn it back on...

I already use opendns, it blocks everything.
I do not see option to add just dns in android. Child just installs some vpn app or connects to some wifi and restrictions does not work.
On other hand if phone is connected to home vpn, there is no way to bypass it.
My microtik bloks all proxy, vpn and routes dns to opendns.
thanks for app locker suggestion. will try it

It's under Wi-Fi and internet setting but only available for Android 9 version. The adguard family dns blocks ad and adult stuff also.
And how to use it
Install Firefox, set it as default, use the origin AdBlock plugin. Works awesome.

Root: AdAway or Magisk module called Energized.
Non-root: Adguard, Blokada.
Non-root ad blockers use a local VPN as proxy where all the filtering happens, so if you already use a VPN, you can't use both. It's possible to proxy chain, but I never got to it, so I don't know if it works properly.
Custom DNS is the easiest way to have ads blocked without root, however if your telco provider offers deals like free Spotify streaming or any other free streaming, which doesn't affect your mobile data cap, then you can't change the mobile data DNS to AdGuard's, because it will bypass your provider's DNS and will count your data.
