Adguard for Android is a remarkable web filter that protects you from annoying advertising, malicious and phishing websites, online tracking and much more. Adguard handles all types of internet ads, speeds up page load, saves bandwidth and increases your device protection against possible threats.

We use a unique technology that allows filtering the traffic on your device without ROOT privileges. This means that it can Filtering speed does not depend on the work of a VPN server, as it is embedded right in your device.

How does Adguard protection work?
Adguard filters your browser’s traffic by blocking requests to phishing and malicious websites and removing intrusive browser advertising.

Adguard can use two modes of traffic filtering.

— Local VPN mode.

— Local HTTP proxy mode.

Local VPN mode

If you are using this mode, Adguard does not need ROOT privileges to carry out filtering. At the same time, a VPN-server is located on your device, so that there is no need to pass your traffic through a remote server in order to filter it.

Local HTTP proxy mode

In this mode Adguard launches a local HTTP proxy server on your device. This mode is recommended, if you use a rooted device.

Otherwise, manual adjustment of an HTTP proxy will be needed to use this mode, the filtering in mobile networks (Edge/3G/4G) will also be impossible.

1- Using a DNS filter: (Recommended)
http://www.fooldns.com/fooldns-commu...glish-version/

To set up, go to Setting > WiFi > long press your connection > modify > advanced > IP add: Static > enter an IP address & fill in the DNS 1 and DNS 2 from the link above.

Pros:
- No need to install app, no CPU or RAM usage.
- No problems like Adblock Plus (read below).

Cons:
- DNS resolution is slightly slower than my ISP, but page loading is still faster without the ads.
- Not all ads are blocked

2- Using Adblock Plus for Android:
https://downloads.adblockplus.org/de...ckplusandroid/

To set up: Go to settings > WiFi > long press your connection > modify > advanced > proxy: manual > type localhost for hostname and 2020 for port.

Pros:
- Block all Ads, everywhere.
- Slightly faster

Cons:
- Google services tend to timeout sometimes.
- App is always running and using 100MB of RAM.

3- Using Adguard for Android: (Recommended if DNS method slows your connection).

This has been a thing for years, the only difference would be if your phone doesn't need root for this to work. Is that what the deal is with this?

You don't need root if you're using the VPN method. I don't have the cracked version but it's good if you don't use apps with ads. The only exception is the YouTube app but you can always use the mobile site if you don't want to see them.
