I’ve been using AdGuard’s DNS resolver on my Android phone for a couple of months, and I’m pretty satisfied with it.
The idea is that it filters out ad networks at the DNS level, so there is no need to root the phone (nor to install any app). You just put dns.adguard-dns.com in your “private DNS” settings and that’s it.
Recently, though, I’ve seen a couple of people around here mentioning how Adguard is not trustworthy, or “kinda shady”. What’s your take on them? Their privacy policy seems OK to me, but I’d be interested to know more about them.
I was using AdAway before switching to Adguard. I loved it, but my problem with it was that it kept disconnecting randomly.
Huh, that’s my complaint with the latest AdGuard - now it seems to just… go away… on my phone pretty frequently. The older version didn’t ever stop unless I stopped it. I paid for a lifetime on my current phone, but when I get a new one I’ll be checking out the free options before paying yearly for AdGuard.
