[HOW TO][NO-ROOT] Blocking ads without additional software in Android 9.0 Pie - Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion

The next method allows us to block ads in Android without to installing any additional software. It's working on any android device working with Android 9 Pie and above. ​
How to do it:
Go to Settings => Connections => More connection settings => Private DNS.
Check Private DNS provider hostname
Then you can use some of the rest. The first one is recommended.
dns.adguard.com
dns-family.adguard.com
dot-de.blahdns.com
Another DNS that you can check is NextDNS. It's free to use and provide some nice features on their website.
How to block ads in Google Chrome
The DNS method works also for Google Chrome, but you need to change something to make it work. ​
Open Chrome, type in chrome://flags
Then search for async DNS resolver (#enable-async-dns) and choose disabled in the drop-down menu. Otherwise, chrome could use a built-in DNS resolver which does not block ads.

[APP][Android 7.0+][4.0.912 - 13/06/2023] AdGuard - No Root Ad Blocker

Introduction
Hello all!
I'd like to present you Adguard for Android. It is a tool designed to make web surfing of Android users more comfortable and safe.
Adguard is an adblocker, privacy protection tool, and protector against online threats. It also has its own Firewall to control the incoming/outgoing traffic.
What's important: no ROOT required.
If you have any ideas on how to improve Adguard or you would like to submit a bug, please do so at our profile on GitHub! If you have any questions about Adguard or related matters and would like to get live responses, welcome to our public Telegram channel!
Important note: we use Github as an open bug and release tracker, but the app itself is a closed source.
Here is our privacy policy. TL;DR: we don't collect your data and send the necessary minimum for checking the license status (in case if you want to use "premium" features).

Adguard checks for updates once in 24 hours. If there is a new version available, you will get a notification.
If you tap on "Update" we will download and upgrade your version of Adguard.
Google Play:
You can't get Adguard from Google Play because Google wants to know everything about you and also it does not want users to decide if they want to see its ads or not.

FAQ
Q: How does Adguard protection work?
A: Adguard filters your browsers traffic by blocking requests to phishing and malicious websites and removing intrusive browser advertising. Adguard can use three modes of traffic filtering:
1. Local VPN mode - If you are using this mode, Adguard does not need ROOT privileges to carry out filtering. At the same time, VPN-server is located on your device, so that there is no need to pass your traffic through a remote server in order to filter it.
2. Automatic proxy mode - In this mode Adguard launch a local HTTP proxy server on your device. This mode is recommended if you use a rooted device. In automatic mode, enabling of filtering does not require any action from you. Filtering will work in both mobile and Wi-Fi networks.
3. Manual proxy mode - This approach may not work in some situations. It depends on your firmware and the actual VPN app. For some cases traffic bypasses manually configured proxy. In manual mode filtering will only work in Wi-Fi networks. And you have to manually configure the use of proxy server for each Wi-Fi network.
Q: Do I need the ROOT access?
A: Unlike most of applications that are engaged in the traffic filtering, Adguard does not require ROOT access to your device. In local VPN server mode Adguard will filter all your traffic and so the ROOT access is not needed at all.
Q: How to use a third-party VPN along with Adguard?
A: If you are already using a VPN for other purposes, then in order for Adguard filtering to work, you can turn it to a Automatic proxy mode. The filtering mode can be changed in the Filtering settings.
Q: How to configure Manual proxy mode?
A: If your device does not support automatic proxy configuration, then you can configure proxy server manually, using the instructions below:
1. In the Adguard Filtering settings select — Manual proxy mode.
2. Go to your phone settings and choose Wi-Fi. A list of wireless networks will be opened.
3. If the device is not yet connected, connect to the Wi-Fi networks than you need. Open network setting by pressing the line with this network. The following menu of the selected Wi-Fi network will appear.
4. Select Modify network. In the new window select Show advanced options.
5. In Proxy select Manual.
6. Enter 127.0.0.1 in Proxy hostname and enter the port that is showed in proxy settings in Adguard application itself (port 8080 is used in Adguard setting by default).
7. Proxy server is set up. Now all Wi-Fi traffic will be filtered by Adguard.
Q: How does DNS-filtering work?
Adguard can filter domain resolution requests to the Domain Name System servers, handle them locally, and block requests to phishing, malicious, advertising and tracking systems on such domains.
Blocking is implemented by sending back a specially crafted response that redirects all traffic to local network interface (with 127.0.0.1 IP address). Then browser or app intended to connect to such domain will try to connect to a server on this particular device, and eventually get an error.
Detailed answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63751226&postcount=375
Q: This seems like a best way to filter ads, why use something else?
A: Because there are many advertising systems that use the same domains for advertising and some useful service. The DNS-filtering can be used just to speed up overall filtering process and to save some battery juice.
Q: Why can't I use DNS-filtering with Local HTTP proxy mode?
A: Because we need to filter all traffic (all network packets) sent from your device for DNS-filtering. Only VPN mode can accomplish such a thing.
Q: Why does Android stats show that Adguard consumed more traffic than it saved?
A: On Android's Data usage page or in your favorite data-traffic tracking app, you might see an indication that Adguard has consumed all or most of your mobile traffic. Make no mistake - it's your apps and not Adguard that consumed the data in question. There is a known issue with Android when VPN or proxy is established, with all traffic from all apps being assigned to Adguard. We hope that this clarifies what's happening.
Q: Why does Adguard consume so much battery juice?
A: First of all, no it's not Adguard that takes so much traffic and device battery (as it may seem). It is an issue of Android that calculates the amount of consumed traffic in a very peculiar way. We have a nice article - "Adguard for Android battery and traffic consumption issues", check it out for more information.
Q: What restrictions does VPN mode have?
A: Adguard filters traffic using local VPN-server by default. In this mode there are some restrictions. In local VPN mode Adguard won't be run automatically after turning on the phone, because this capability is blocked by Android OS.

Be aware that while using AdGuard on PC it became abundantly clear that it slowed internet traffic, pages do NOT open faster, but most alarming of all was its insane (and i mean INSANE) overinflation of the number ads etc that it blocked. It smelt like a con on just the bs figures alone, but with the added slowdown in traffic i removed it.
AdAway, via FDroid. Less drama, real results.
More information if some non-rooted users would like to try:
• Android 4.0.3+
• Not compatible with Opera Mini and Puffin Browser.

So you are making a conclusion about android app because of your experience with PC version, am I right?
Also what about PC version, could you please send me in PM some details on this insane overinflation?
Looks like a bug for me. Also traffic slowdown is something unusual for Adguard.
Seems too good to be true & so many complaints on desktop browsers . Lets try this on my MOTO G & see the results .

Hi Everyone,
Sorry but I had to remove all the talk about the paid version of this app because these discussions can easily be against the xda rules. So please, can we limit the discussion to the free version of this app and if you have an interest in, or a comment about, the paid version please take it up on the adguard website.
Thanks!

It won't work if you use VPN filtering mode with Android 4.X.
The problem is that the "key" icon is not ours - it is Android's system icon, we can't control it.
Maybe we should disable this setting in this case?

I would simply add a note to the Icon setting description that the Adguard icon defaults to Android's VPN key in VPN-mode.
No need to remove or disable anything. Choice is good.

Choice is good indeed but we just don't want to confuse user with a setting which does nothing currently.
I think that we may mark setting as disabled and add a note below that VPN key icon is managed by OS, not app.
now the real question, why this over adaway?

Adaway is not a filtering app or an ad blocker. It is no more than a hosts file manager. So for me it's strange to compare Adguard or ABP with Adaway or Adfree. You can use hosts file to block some ad networks, that's true. But the quality of such filtering is very low comparing to what real filters do.
Some examples for better understanding.
With hosts file:
You cannot block facebook or twitter buttons without blocking facebook and twitter sites.
You cannot handle mobile redirects, inline scripts, self-hosted banners, etc.
You will see broken elements (images,objects,whitespaces) on the pages because hosts file does not filter the page code and cannot make it look right.
Filtering has its own drawbacks. Because app actually does something it needs your CPU and it uses your battery.
Anyway, you can use Adguard along with adaway or adfree, no conflicts and no overhead here (hosts file does not use your battery at all).
New beta version is ready.
We are very close to major release. I think that this beta version is faster and better than current stable release.
Changelog for 1.1.779:
+ Tested and optimized for Android 5.0
* Optimized CPU and battery usage
* Fixed display of some elements of the interface and notifications
* Fixed processing of certain HTTPS requests
* Resolved compatibility issues with some apps

I there, I have a question. I tested another application like this one time ago (AdB...k), that worked fine blocking ads but consumed a lot of my mobile data, almost all my mobile data available in 3 days. My question is, this app with do the same?

Yes we will. But actually it's not our app who use this mobile data.
It's your apps that consumes the data.
The problem is that all traffic goes through the filter (our app or abp or whatever) and that's why Android counts this traffic as ours in it's data usage stats.
We plan to add a simple firewall in version 1.2. So you'll be able to see actual data usage of your apps and to manage their network access.
I don't think that was my case, because I keep track of my mobile data usage and I have never used that amount of data in just 3 days (like 65 MB) and I didn't do anything estrange or out of normal, just WhatsApp and I opened Facebook like 4 times.

I am not abp specialist so just don't know, maybe their app really has some bugs. I know they check filter updates sometimes (and filters are rather heavy), maybe that's it. Anyway, if mobile data usage is important to you just enable "Update over Wi-Fi only" in Adguard to be sure.

[GUIDE] Cloudflare DNS for Android Pie

I thought that this might be useful to some.
There's a new feature in Android Pie under "Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced" called Private DNS.
This can be used to change the DNS used system wide.
Just head to: https://blog.cloudflare.com/enable-private-dns-with-1-1-1-1-on-android-9-pie/ for full, simple instructions.
you can just enter 1.1.1.1

AdAway kinda app, but no root

Yesterday I purchased this Oneplus 6 phone. For the time being, I am not going to root my phone for sometime. I am looking for an app something like Adaway, which can work on my phone.
I installed Adaware, but it seems it creates a VPN connection, and there was hell lot of crap inside it. I need a simple solution.
just root it dude. Better earlier than later.

Enable private DNS on MIUI 10 android pie.

Hi guys.
I'm new to pocophone F1. Coming from a galaxy note 3 with aosp pie rom, i found that i cannot use private dns on pocophone miui 10 pie rom. Several articles on the net said it was removed from miui pie rom. The truth is it was hidden deep within miui 10.
Here's how to access it:
1. Install quick shortcut maker from playstore. Here's the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut
2. Open quick shortcut maker and then scroll to settings. Click on it and then find com.android.settings.Settings$NetworkDashboardActivity (also easier to find it by typing "mor" on search bar. Click on it and then choose try, it will go to network and internet settings where you now can set private DNS there. You can create a shortcut for later use after that.
Thanks. Any code/keyword to enable WiFi sharing (e.g. share WiFi from hotspot using phone with no mobile phone signal)- it is a feature in pixel but not available in miui

It's not the same mate. Private dns in pie use DNS over TLS which is encrypted and more secure. Also you can use adguard dns in private dns to block ads so you don't need to use any adblocker app or even root your device to block ads system wide. To use adguard dns just put dns.adguard.com to that private dns.

Yeah that is true. Its a shame that MIUI doesnt allow you to set the private DNS settings. Im on crdroid so I can set the dns without any issues. Hopefully they patch it in

Private DNS on setting on any PIE AOSP or any PIE Roms is systemwide.
The app itself only the application is affected and by using vpn.
The app is useless if you have the settings available on your device.
On xiaomi.eu when i press DNS the settings app crashes so i cannot set it.
Thanks, works fine here. But seems like I can't connect to internet when using CloudFare dns so I changed to Adguard and it works fine. Both wifi and data has no connection after connecting to CloudFare dns. Btw good sharing!
I'm on crDroid so the private DNS settings work fine for me I've attached a screenshot of the settings I'm using, might be helpful if that menu is available on your ROM
Forgot to attach
Hi...
if i already change to private dns... Will it stick after restart device?
and why i cannot create a shortcut to that setting. ?

Block ads in miui apps with with dns

Hallo .
I really don't like miui therefor many ads in system apps so i try alot of method to stop it but i need to make system stable and Bootloader locked so i think using private dns is the best way to block ads .
i think the best way is to use adgraud dns
so try to change private dns to : dns.adguard.com
Thanks for Adguard for Free Public DNS

NextDNS
The new firewall for the modern Internet
nextdns.io
to be fair also consider these alternatives:
DeCloudUs DNS

Rethink DNS
