[APP][2.1+] AdFree for Android

This is the new AdFree for Android thread, the old thread was getting hidden because it was in a legacy devices thread.
Google removed AdFree from their app market but you can get the latest version from the adfree website
As of Android 6+ some ROMs lock the /system partition while running which makes it difficult to block ads and tracking, you can get around this limitation by making a symlink while running a custom bootrom, svbarbosa has made a flashable zip file to automate the creation of a symlink.
Please Note! If sites aren't being blocked when browsing/using the internet over mobile network, but works fine over wifi check your apn proxy settings

0.8.60+ Fixed IP entry, tweaked the UI to use default device theme
0.8.62+ Fixed authentication issue
0.8.64+ Background app update check, fixed de spelling mistake and one small display mistake.
0.8.66+ Updated expiry time-out.
0.8.68+ Removed 'too old' expiry time out
0.9.0 Swapped webservers so hostnames "blocked" can be logged and shown in Adfree.
0.9.1 updated webserver config
0.9.2 the path to the web server config file wasn't right and so nothing was logging correctly
0.9.3 allows people to view duplicates in the block list, and displays time stamps, and fixes the webserver restart after wiping the log file.
0.9.4 reverses the order of the block list, and shows the latest log entries first, regardless if you show all entries or just the unique ones.
0.9.5 applied the same reverse log ordering to the tcpdump screen
0.9.6 the app can now auto upgrade itself, and menu items were added to switch between the block list and the tcpdump screens
added ACCESS_SUPERUSER permission to hide a warning in SU, which shows a device warning on Android 4.x+
0.9.7 The auto upgrade of the app will only happen if the auto update checkbox is ticked

0.9.13 Enabled SSL on the website and updated the app to connect over SSL using Let's Encrypt free certificate.
0.9.15 Fixed tcpdump, which was broken on recent android versions. Since most websites now enable ssl, there was little point including a web server any more.
0.9.16 Fixed self-update mechanism, as well as the manual update method so it does it itself, and not via a browser.
0.9.18 Made a landscape layout for the main screen
0.9.19 Disabled the code that added a symlink when booted, this is no longer possible when booted into Android
0.9.21 Updated app to target Android 10

Good job! Thank you. Works great

That's overly simplified, Adfree connects to our own server to get a list of hosts and checks if there are new hosts, rather than bombarding 3rd parties checking for updates.

The AdFree website has been updated to support the host file from here: https://code.google.com/p/smarthosts/

I have the HTC One not sure if that matters but the ads in the espn app are not blocked. What can I do to correct this? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I was having a problem with the ads not being blocked so I uninstalled reinstalled and all amazing ad blocking seems to be working now!

I love this app but if I can do a few very minor suggestions.
1. Can you have a setting for it to boot normally every time?
2. When the app does an update check, would it be possible to have the buttons update and cancel right from the box that pops up for an update to the host file?
Again, I love this app and it is the first thing I install on a clean rom.

[APP][5.0+] Blokada ad blocker [open source][without root][v4]

Blokada v4

Hi @ XDA!
I'm the developer of Blokada, a simple to use ad blocker for Android that works for all apps and doesn't require root. The idea is to make the app very simple to use, almost unnoticeable in daily operation, yet perfectly functional. I'm asking the awesome xda community to take a look, give feedback, and have fun!
You can find all the important links at blokada.org
The app is uploaded to XDA Labs!

I take it this is another local VPN blocking solution? What licence is it released under? I wouldn't trust any VPN that all my data is passing through unless it's open source, so I would highly recommend moving in that direction. Would you say the primary advantage over NetGuard is ease of use? I personally need much finer-grain control of per-app host blocking, but I can see how this could be very useful to others.

So simple! And it supports Android 4+ which is nice because DNS66 supports only Android 5+.
Some Questions :
Where is the location of the hosts file(s)? Can I modify the hosts file(s)?
Suggestion:
What I want is ability to block image (do not download image to reduce data usage). Because it is unwanted content for me and this way can reduce data usage too.

I've tried it and I love it, but my one request is a QS tile for Android 7+ for easily toggling the VPN

Thanks for the feedback so far guys and keep it coming. I really appreciate it!

Correct. It's not open sourced as of yet, but it's in my plans. If Blokada is received well, I'd like to build up a community around it, with plugins etc.

Well NetGuard is quite a different beast, it's a firewall with per-app blocking. Blokada is an ad blocker. Tech behind both is similar, but since there's quite a choice already of adblockers on Android, I want to focus Blokada on extreme ease of use (unless the community would want otherwise). That said, some configuration options, like the choice of filters, will come.

Currently hosts are fetched online (and cached) and are not modifiable. Some flexibility here is the #1 feature to come so stay tuned

I really like that it shows you what's being blocked in real time via notifications. Would there be a way to export a log in the future?

What amazed me is the amount of ads that ping even on apps I've paid for the ad-free versions within the app. Just from a day of use I had over 2000 blocks. The weather channel app has been the worst offender so far.

First of all, thanks for your great app！
Most of ads removed for mine, still some (may be local) ads remained. I am using this in Japan.
I understand your concept, ease of use first . if only some customization would be... (ex, extra choice of country ? something)
anyway thanks again, keep going!

You're right. The next release will include filter configuration options, so it'll be possible to use local lists or even custom filters.

Tried it out, using it seems to keep the LG email app from syncing. Any ideas? This is on the LG V20, stock, 7.0. Every other ad blocking app that uses VPN except Adguard has the same issue.

Again, not to bring other apps in, but I've tried many other ad blocking apps and all have the same issue that prevents syncing except Adguard. I'd be happy to help anyway I can tho.

Any plan for custom block? By manually loading/importing self-built hosts file, or by manually adding host/url/domain to already exist hosts file. This is useful especially for blocking local/regional ads.

personalDNSfilter was updated to version 1.50.2 on March 19, 2017.

Just found this, I'm surprised it's not got a following.. light and easy to use, seems a good alternative to dns66 and the likes.

Can we change/edit the local file FILTERHOSTS.TXT?
Will it get downloaded again and over-written?

Great app, thanks for heads up.

By default it will be overwritten. But you can add custom filters within the dnsfilter.conf (see filter.host = true|false settings).
Alternativly it is possible to disable the automated filter download so that the FILTERHOST.TXT won´t be overwritten.
Just check dnsfilter.conf file for details. It contains a good documentation of the different settings.

Sorry, these might be some dumb questions, but really trying to get this to work on an Android phone running 7.1.1:
1) do I need to check "Advanced settings" in order for those settings to work? If I don't check it, I can't scroll down to view the logs, unless I'm missing something
2) Also, any reason why some of my custom entries in the "Advanced settings" doesn't work? (I put in entries to be filtered and those are still allowed in the log and entries to be allowed, but those are still blocked.) I've hit Reload filter and Restart and sometimes it works, but more often it doesn't.
3) Lastly, any reason why other times my entire "Advanced settings" erases? How can I get those entries to persist?
Thanks for putting this app together, hopefully once I know what's going on I'll be able to use it much better.

Advanced settings unfolds when clicked, set values, untick and the put in values are active but hidden in the GUI. Set a custom reload intervall for testing to see (days until next reload).
Use a text editor to edit the right files inside the pDNSf folder in your storage. You will find examples and descriptions there. Just have a look at the even more advanced settings playing around with the configuration files. Quit the client, edit files, start the client again and reload.

Yes .... better edit the dnsfilter.cfg file. In addition: the advanced settings within the GUI only allows to edit the filter URL and reload interval. In case invalid values are added, it will be reset to the previous valid entries (Check for messages in the log area)

sp.auth.adobe.com blocks android users from signing into app Channels i.e. History, ESPN, Starz (spectrum login). Its annoying having to put it into whitelist across several devices.

Nice work mate. @MrT69 is working on a very huge project.
And he is one of very rare polite, helpful and responsive hard working developers.
I dont know him personally, but I'm following his project since the first post of his thread.
I assume you heared about his keweonDNS project.
If you dont, take a look, and you will know exactly what I'm talking about.
All the best bros.

Didn't forget you. But actually I'm working on DoH Server and this is a phyton based thing.
This is driving me cracy. It seems no one any longer able to use a real programming language.

I cannot see images in g play and g photos.

Well, now, at least internet works while it's on, but i can't see it's effectiveness - websites are full of ads.
What filters are you using? At what countries it's targeted on? Too lazy to check&compare internal filter within /data/data

Just sent you message through app. It's quite dissapointing, that logs will be sent to you without user knowing about it - there's no such info, that logs will be sent automatically.

i found a similar problem as yours, see here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/mlituo
An user complains that vpn app doesn't work after rooting and installing Magisk app.
I think that some system apps (such as if the one responsible for VPNs) can be removed after rooting and the magisk app installation.
