Please welcome the first beta version of AdGuard v3.4 for Android! To start things off, we've enhanced the app in a few directions, including fixing some of the oldest known bugs and improving Android TV compatibility.
[Bug] AdGuard blocks Internet connection #2842
This bug had been puzzling us for a very long time. It appeared on various devices of AdGuard users and was seemingly random. However, the symptoms were the same: the smartphone lost any network completely while AdGuard was turned on. Needless to say, it had been our top priority to fix this issue, and finally, we've managed to beat it. Not going to lie, it's a big relief not only for the affected users but for us too!
[Enhancement] Integration with DnsLibs #3229
DnsLibs is a DNS proxy library that's required to provide DNS filtering. It supports all existing DNS protocols including DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-HTTPS, and DNSCrypt. We developed it to replace the old DNSproxy, which had one serious flow: it caused high battery resource consumption. DnsLibs is much better optimized and will ensure a longer lifespan for your phone's battery if you're using DNS filtering a lot.
[Enhancement] Improved functionality on Android TV #3238
AdGuard for Android is first and foremost an app for mobile phones and tablets, but it can be installed on other Android devices, such as smart TVs. We have made several improvements for this specific case, for example:
AdGuard now better works with lists
Better navigation between AG menus on smart TVs
Option to click on snackbars
Option to exit the promo screen
"Close" option for all dialogues
Now AdGuard for Android will be much easier in use if you decide to install it on your smart TV. If you still encounter any bugs or inconsistent behavior, please report it here.
[Bug] Firewall's restriction are ignored when WiFi gets enabled #3313
And another unpleasant bug that deserves a special mention. In v3.3, if you had specifically prohibited some apps from accessing the Internet via mobile data, the restrictions worked right up until you enabled WiFi, which was not the intended behaviour.
