What exactly is that needed for?
anyway YTvanced does not contain ads but installing Adaway can block the YouTube history that's why we add it to the whitelistWhat exactly is that needed for?
I checked, it was blocked (now I whitelisted) but I never observed any issue with YT/Vanced
thanks a bunch! works perfect.
precisely why i asked to whitelist youtube. my history on different devices don't get synced, and i get suggested vidoes i already watched etc.anyway YTvanced does not contain ads but installing Adaway can block the YouTube history that's why we add it to the whitelist
You will get video's you watched suggested again. Its a part of YouTube AI. I would guess the logic as, if you were interested once, you may watch it again (possibky by accident), and its simply another opportunity for google to serve you ads.precisely why i asked to whitelist youtube. my history on different devices don't get synced, and i get suggested vidoes i already watched etc.
cheers y'all!
I can successfully block ads on Chrome if lite mode is not enabled.Frankly, I don't know if you could block ads in Chrome while using AdAway in VPN mode
A year+ ago I had two phones, rooted and not-rooted one, both with AdAway (one hosts, the other VPN mode), both running Chrome with Lite mode off.
On the rooted phone, AdAway blocked ads in Chrome and 'everwhere' (of course, not in e.g. YT).
On the not rooted phone ads were blocked 'everywhere' but I never managed to let AdAway block them in Chrome
Nowadays I have only the rooted phone and AdAway still perfectly blocks me ads in Chrome and 'elswhere'
Btw, Chrome for me is essential, primarily because of the built-in translator - sometimes, if I want I even read in Japanese, Chinese, Arabian, whatever

If you have Android 9 or higher, disable AdAway and enable Private DNS in your native Settings, and for DNS provider put e g: dns.adguard.com
I don't recall anymore but I think Chrome will also bypass that VPN and you will still see the ads in Chrome (that Private DNS uses VPN to the configured DNS server which blocks the sites pushing ads by not resolving their DNS names)
IMHO, only some pretty old versions of Chrome can be enforced to go through your VPN (AdAway or Private DNS), and that's why you cannot block ads in Chrome, with AdAway in the non-root mode
Did you move to another app? if so, which one?I am no longer using AdAway. one of the reasons is that it isnt so good at looooong blocking lists.
Do you mean the notification is popping up? If so that is normal until you disable the notification.hi
thx for the app.
sometimes the app starts on it's own.
What could be causing that?
thx
no not the notification, but the app itself.Do you mean the notification is popping up? If so that is normal until you disable the notification.
Are you using vpn mode or root modeno not the notification, but the app itself.
I don't have the app on all the time, especially at home, but i notice that the app has turned itself on, without any interaction from myself
Preferences, Updates, disable all automatic updatesno not the notification, but the app itself.

using VPN mode
will turn off the auto update, and try that.. thxPreferences, Updates, disable all automatic updates
However, non-root must be running all the time its VPN service, monitor media reconnections - search for the non-root version and some reconnection issues already reported and discussed in the thread
Hi!Getting this "Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: PDO::__construct(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed
This app is wonderful. Thank you!
I did it.
Thanks for the quick edit!
Most probably an android problem. Maybe open an issue report on GitHub.I use Adaway non-rooted via VPN on a xiaomi redmi note 13 pro+. It works fine, except that it does not automatically start after a reboot. Any ideas why not?
I did:
Ever since I set the Always-on VPN, I get a message after reboot (before providing the unlock code for the first time): "Disconnected from always-on VPN — Change network or VPN settings".
- Selected "Background autostart"
- Set Battery saver to "No restrictions"
- Set Always-on VPN in preferences
- Set Block connections without VPN" in preferences
Adaway is supposed to start automatically after a reboot, right?
Thanks for helping!
It's always blatently (NEVER automatically )asks me on a data clear, just tried it and gotI have been using Adaway, both rooted and non root versions, for several years. My phone broke last week, and while I wait for a replacement I am using a borrowed stock Oneplus 9. It is running Android 14, with no other VPN apps. When I install Adaway, it installs the root version, so I get a systemless host error. It used to install the correct version automatically, is there any way to force it to install the non root version?
GitLab, like GitHub do not set LastModified HTTP header so update status is not supported... yet!Is anyone using a hosts list hosted on Gitlab? It keeps showing "Unknown update status".
It works well here. I failed to reproduce as I change the HTTP client library and how I use it.Hmm, not working for me for this URL, v4.1.0 shows something like not updated in -360 days (some large negative value). Can you please see if you can reproduce?

Not really. You could choose a lot of different mode.All the F-Droid apps I know of have manual push updates to the store.
Isn't automatic build basically for nightlies?
Thank you so much! :highfive:I exist still... do you know what i have to do to transfer ownership? if i edit project it doesn't let me change the primary author so i assume i have to PM some higher up to make this happen?
Thank you too!
