In this beta we've added a new feature — 'Protect from DPI'. In a nutshell, it modifies your outgoing traffic to prevent ISP's Deep Packet Inspection systems from detecting the websites you visit. To make this feature visible and enable it, select 'Custom' in the Stealth Mode tab and scroll down.

Besides, we've fixed extensions settings and enabled HTTPS filtering by default for Naver Whale Browser. Finally, CoreLibs and DnsLibs were updated.

Changelog
  • [Enhancement] Enable HTTPS filtering by default on Whale Browser #4058
  • [Enhancement] Update CoreLibs to 1.9.57 #4135
  • [Fixed] Extensions settings are broken in v4.0 nightly 8 #3661
  • [Other] Cannot start google drive downloads with VPN enabled #95
  • [Other] Update DnsLibs to 1.7.11 #4121

AdGuard for Android 4.2 Beta 1
Dynamic icon
AdGuard for Android now has a dynamic icon. If you are using themed icons on your smartphone, the AdGuard app will also match the color of your system.

HTTP/3 filtering support
AdGuard now not only filters HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 traffic. In this beta we have added experimental support for HTTP/3 filtering. The HTTP/3 protocol, powered by the QUIC network protocol, provides better privacy and security, as well as a more stable and faster Internet connection. By enabling HTTP/3 filtering, you can take advantage of the QUIC protocol and effectively block ads and trackers.
To enable HTTP/3 filtering, go to Settings → General → Advanced → Low-level settings → Filter HTTP/3 and toggle the switch to the right.

Support for two HTTPS certificates
By implementing two HTTPS certificates, we have fixed an issue with HTTPS filtering in Chrome version 100 and above on rooted devices. While the certificate in the system store will be responsible for filtering in most apps, the certificate in the user store will allow AdGuard to filter HTTPS traffic in Chromium-based browsers.
Installing certificates has also become easier: we've added step-by-step instructions.
To install the second certificate, go to Settings → Filtering → Network → HTTPS filtering → Security сertificates and follow the instructions.

4.3 Beta 1
AdGuard v4.3 for Android beta brings you something not only special, but unprecedented. It’s the same AdGuard you know and love, but now with a TV-sized twist – and we mean that quite literally: we’re glad to introduce the support for Android TV! Important updates and a new Developer tools section are also here to enhance your user experience with our app

Android TV support

To provide full support for Android TV, we’ve developed a simplified version of AdGuard for Android featuring the most essential features to enhance your browsing experience and content filtering on your TV. The new design, fully adapted for Android TV.

Hold on to your remote, what you are about to experience is a brand new app!

Note: Android TV support is a feature exclusive to users with an AdGuard license.

Developer tools

We invite our advanced users and filter developers who interact very actively with the app to explore our new Developer tools, a specialized section designed for quick navigation and switching between features. There you can quickly enable or disable custom filters, access logs, enable recording of different logs, and more. This feature can be enabled in Low-level settings.

CoreLibs and DnsLibs updates

The recent CoreLibs v1.13 update boosts your browsing experience with improved HTML filtering, while the update of DnsLibs to v2.4 makes your connection more secure with support for HTTP basic authentication.
