Recently found out that Adguard has a free (limited) version on Android that will block browser ads (which is exactly what I wanted). I saw posting on MT that Adguard 6 was released and the only reason why I had stopped using it was version 5 giving me troubles (breaking HTTPS sites, somehow killing off downloads, etc). Very impressed with version 6 so much so that I recommended to family member (and they've decided to use it). Works well for them.

Running light, working great, and no problems after 2 days of use. Older version liked to slow down internet (even if there weren't many filters) however this version is completely the opposite. I use Adguard for filtering bulk of tracks, ads, and rely on it to an extent to block malicious web pages. Works very well for pop ups as well. I turned off all filters in uBlock Origin and only use it for custom filtering (I find it more convenient - plus Adguard Assistant seems to only work on Edge, IE, Chrome, and Firefox).

Currently running on a 180 day trial but will probably pay for it.

Everthing works smoothly with Adguard 6 untill a few days ago seems my ip got banned @ MalwareTips.
I think it was a VPN issue but further investigation reveals it was the result of the Hide IP option found in Adguard.
Disabling it i was allowed back to this forum. Anyone else have a similar problem?

Could you please answer some questions about Android issue?

1. Which phone do you use?
2. What's your cell provider?

LG G2 (At least I did)
AT&T

I stopped using Ad Guard on my phone because of this. The phone was rooted and I did use Ad Away but I turned that off before using Ad Guard.

Yes there have been a couple who have.We have had to ban some IP's because of banned users who continually try to make new accounts for the soul purpose of causing problems on the site.We also ban IP's of spammers.
It is no fault of Adguard.

i guess those banned members are using the Stealth features of Adguard. So users like us are "banned".
Or that IP.I logged out and enabled stealth mode and selected hide IP in Adguard 6 and logged back on without problems.

I would say: exclude this website from Adguard filtering.
