Something strange (at least for me happen)Sometimes the blocking ads stops working even though NG is working. If I disable and after that re-enable NG the blocking ads restart working. Somebody can explain what is happening? I think I have the right settings regarding battery not optimized for NG app.

I have observed something similar and logged in to post the same


in my case :
1) all settings are done as per instructions
2) AD blocking works as expected
3) When I go from a WiFi connection to Cellular connection the Ad blocking stops working.
4) When I come back to a wifi connection, the ad blocking still does not work (Netguard is running)
5) Either I have to restart the phone or restart netguard and then adblocking starts to work again


Details :
Samsung S22 Ultra , Android 12
(Just upgraded to 13, did not check this behavior out yet)

Maybe there is a routing bug in your Android version, causing DNS not being routed into the VPN anymore after a connectivity change. I have seen similar bugs, mostly in Samsung's modified Android versions.

Hello I have strange phenomenon. When checking on netguard.ne/test, I can see blocking is correct when I am on mobile network. But when I switch to wifi, I get message that blocking is not working. I have bot types of networks configured exactly same. Where could be the problem? I have LineageOS 19 (Android 12). Jan
Hi jaybee01:

Did you fix the Problem? I got the same problem, on wifi (Netgaurd.me/test failed) but on mobile data its works.

My Setup: Pixel 5, Grapheneos, Github paid version, Android 13

regards

I'm a longtime user and supporter of all of Marcel's excellent apps.

I noticed that one of my apps (AnySoftKeyboard) is listed in Netguard in a lighter font in Netguard.

What does that mean? Thank you.

Hello, i hope i'm right here.
In my protocol i saw that my phone send icmp4 pakets to an IP from Port 8000-10744 and net-guard not shows the application its send. It is possible to block that? I own all pro-functions.
Sorry for my terribel english.

This type of traffic can't be forwarded because the Linux kernel doesn't support this, which means that this type of traffic is always blocked.
