Hello,so i have recently been having a problem on my Android devices with regards to blocking ads with the private dns setting in Android 10 and 11. For some reason when i enable this on my two phones in settings by using dns.adguard.com to block ads.
I since the weekend am unable to use my Facebook and Instagram apps. Both dont load properly,are slow and do not refresh feeds at all. In Google Chrome,the sport streaming sites i use also suddenly refuse letting me watch anything if i dont disable the ad blocking first. None of this was ever a problem before this weekend.
What is strange is that it is only affecting my Android devices. I use adguard on Chrome with all my Windows 10 home p.c. and laptops and they are all working fine still accessing the same sites and feeds. Is anyone else experiencing this and does anyone know of a way to fix it please?
dns.adguard.com is a website that doesn't exist.
Interesting,but if it doesnt exist,howcome it is used by so many to block ads?

Ok today I have been getting pop over ads on XDA, doesnt matter what browser, nor OS I use. I refuse to use adblockers on my browser, as I Actually click ads and support sites I like.
But seriously pop over ads XDA? Would rather surf android forums than deal with pop over ads.
Strange. I've never gotten notifications that popups had been blocked (as is the case when they are) nor did I get any in a quick spin around the site with ABP off.
Perhaps your ISP is injecting ads.
hmmmm... i don't seem to be getting any pop over ads; i'm using chrome with no blockers
but i am using the XDA 2010 Beta style though (not sure if that means anything)
now i'm not dissing your computer security skills but you may want to run and anti-spyware program or virus scan
No pop-up's for me either... I remember having some problems awhile back with being redirected while doing certain google searches...I just run malwarebytes when I start noticing weird behavior while browsing and it usually picks up whatever is causing the problem.

You could always use an adblocker and make exceptions in the settings for the sites you wish to support by viewing/clicking adds. I do this for sites that I tend to visit daily (like xda, digg, etc). I have not noticed any pop up ads with xda
Sent from my Eris using XDA App
Funny you should mention that, I just got a pop-up blocked when I got here. First time I've had that happen.
I have gotten these popup/over ads about 4 times in the last few weeks.... definitely annoying

Not possible, I am tunneled from my home to one of my servers. So I am the outbound isp.

Same thing I do (Xda, Reddit, etc)
Hell I had to use it to block that stupid new grey bar at the bottom of youtube that keeps autoplaying videos.
Haven't seen any pop-overs yet...on the beta version of XDA
Ad Blocker Plus on Firefox has me chillen
I've noticed them as well and I hate them though I would still rather surf here then android forums
I haven't had any yet *crosses fingers*
Yeah, I don't think I could ever browse Android Forums in any serious capacity.
popovers are delicious

Aside from games, which apps can you not live without on your phone/tablet? I have numerous apps I use every day without fail...Some before I even get out of bed.
First port of call is always Gmail, quickly followed by a scan of Google+, Facebook and Twitter
Facebook, Twitter, and in China WeChat is the most popular, Sina Weibo is similar to Twitter (would be daily, but I'm not such an addict that I can't wait to get to my PC)
My favorite todo list manager is AnyDO and I use both the Android app and Chrome extension to manage my deadlines
Chrome, obviously The big daily apps for me...
There are several others that I frequently use, but are not quite daily for me.
Infrequently used, but occasionally invaluable
Quora for Q&A, read millions of fascinating answers about every subject
italki for language learning, communicate with people all around the world and learning by the way
I love having an Android phone. I would feel lost without it. So.... What are your must-have/can't live without apps?
Telegram. I'm using two unofficial Telegram clients for my dual SIM device though : Plus Messenger and Dgram.

You mean the "Telegram" is an app? I have never heard about it, I think it would be very useful for dual SIM and how to get it
Adguard, Lastpass and Outlook. For me these are the top three most important app right now.
NoRoot Data Firewall. Its ability to block hosts, block IP, block apps, set DNS, and block image sistem wide in one VPN service is unmatched yet. That's important because Android can activate only one VPN. Need update though.

I found Lastpass on Google Play, it is really an amazing app, thanks for your recommendation:highfive:
The Adguard is the exact app name? I cannot search it on GP... The Ads always annoy me, I think I need one this app

No problem
And yea, Adguard is the exact name. But the one you'll find on play store isn't the best version.
Download it from their official website.... https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/install.html
You can also find it here on xda... http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/adguard-ad-blocker-doesnt-require-root-t2958895/
Lastpass also has a desktop chrome extension. And your data is synced for free. So any login details you save on your phone will be available on your computer and vice versa.
Adguard too is available for your computer (if you're interested).
And since you use fb, g+ and twitter, give reddit a try, if you haven't already. You can directly visit their website @ reddit.com or you can just use their app (named Reddit on play store). At first it might seem overwhelming but trust me, you're going to get addicted.
APP2SD for low internal memory problems and xposed module PREVENT RUNNING..and AMPLIFY for battery save.

\^o^/ I got it and had a try, really a great job! And are you using any office apps for Android, to edit some office documents on the phone such as word/excel/pdf? This is my urgent need
Exposed modules:
Android n-ify
Sudo hide
X blasttools
Gravity box
Apm+
Brightness tweak
Apart from these modules are my daily use apps like whatsapp,facebook,instagram,hike and ucbrowser
My other favourite apps are
Tapet- for custom wallpaper
Camscanner- to improve document picture quality
Chromma keyboard- best keyboard according to me
Live boot- for boot animation
Tunnel bear- best vpn of my choice

:highfive: The developer of Prevent Running comes from China, I used to use it very often, and the Greenify is also awesome.
It seems that the 2SD is also available to hide apps, is an app manager, NICE!

The xposed modules you recommended are also my frequently used...
The Camscanner is just the exactly what I am searching for, thanks a lot!
I should have a try on Tunnel bear, several VPN apps I used almost have the bad connection...

Yep. I use Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Powerpoint for that. I've never tried anything else. Microsoft products worked really well for me. And so I stuck with them.
Btw I sent you a PM. Do check it
Hi all. Not sure if this is exactly the right spot, but I thought I'd try.
So I did the WTF upgrade on my V30+, and after having set everything up, I'm left with a REALLY annoying artifact/feature.
Every time I visit a page on MSN.com or on Reddit.com and scroll down the page to read more, these websites ask me to install their app. I've tried saying no. I've tried saying yes, but then not installing. I've tried cancelling out. I've tried reinstalling Chrome and then tried Chrome Dev. No matter what I do (short of installing the apps, which I did not try), the web pages will continue to suggest that I download the app on EVERY SINGLE PAGE I VISIT ON THEIR SITES.
Suffice to say, I"m really annoyed at this "feature" and was wondering if anyone knows how to either get rid of it or suppress it once and for all. If it doesn't stop, I'm considering changing my default browser to something else.
Firefox Nightly and Brave Browser are two full featured browsers that give you more control of what displays on your screen.
May I suggest Adaway ad blocker for rooted devices?? Your post made no mention if you are using any ad block software!! It looks like a "sponsored" ad, nasty buggers!!:fingers-crossed:

Yep. I have AdAway running.
I also get those when javascript is allowed ...
Use a browser which can disable javascript - such as "Naked Browser",
or use e.g. Firefox with UBlock Origin in +/-"advanced user" mode and disable java scripts globally, then case by case allow them - this should prevent these kind of incidences by default

not sure which webbrowser you used - but yeah, the web nowadays is stupid - loading all stuff via external frames, external sites, etc.
you, of course, can circumvent those message via using e.g. reddit app or having it installed (not sure if merely installing it would make that message stop).
Another way would be to load the "desktop version" of the site, in that case, it shouldn't be displayed neither
Maybe I just miss my very out-of-date LG G3 experience where it didn't know how to deal with any of this. Heh.
Thanks for all of the suggestions, folks. I appreciate it. I'll keep playing around with Chrome and alternative browsers to see if there's a way to get it to where I want.

Good one just trying it out on the S7+ and my old rooted Nexus 6 looks like it also has some useful features like volume and brightness swipe control nice thanks
Vanced keeps erroring out for me. Not sure why.
Haven't ran a non-rooted device in like 10yrs any other useful apps I might be missing that go well with the S7+ ?
try block-this apk (version 3.1)
Adaway works great.
I liked Adguard so much across the board I bought lifetime licenses. They often go on sale and are really not expensive considering what they do.
nobody knows the private dns option in network settings? use e.g. dns.adguard.com et voilà, risks and traffic reduced
Me personally, I use nextdns!
It's free or $20 a year!
