What's new in v0.9.18
0.9.0 Swapped webservers so hostnames "blocked" can be logged and shown in Adfree.
0.9.1 updated webserver config
0.9.2 the path to the web server config file wasn't right and so nothing was logging correctly
0.9.3 allows people to view duplicates in the block list, and displays time stamps, and fixes the webserver restart after wiping the log file.
0.9.4 reverses the order of the block list, and shows the latest log entries first, regardless if you show all entries or just the unique ones.
0.9.5 applied the same reverse log ordering to the tcpdump screen
0.9.6 the app can now auto upgrade itself, and menu items were added to switch between the block list and the tcpdump screens
added ACCESS_SUPERUSER permission to hide a warning in SU, which shows a device warning on Android 4.x+
0.9.7 The auto upgrade of the app will only happen if the auto update checkbox is ticked
0.9.8 updated French translation thanks to Micks29, and fixes symlink support for android 4.4 thanks to Davis.

How to install AdFree v0.9.18 on Android API 14+
Takes about 2 minutes. You'll need roughly 2.7 MB of free storage.
- Grab com.bigtincan.android.adfree_9018.apk — hit the Download button above (2.7 MB). If your browser warns about APK files, choose Keep or Download anyway — that warning fires on every APK, not just this one.
- Trust your browser to install — on Android 8+ go to Settings → Apps → Special access → Install unknown apps, pick the app you downloaded with (Chrome, Firefox, Files, etc.), and flip Allow from this source. On older Android, toggle Unknown sources under Security.
- (Optional) Verify the file — compute the MD5 of the downloaded APK and make sure it matches d4a7b7da979d8df6…. Any difference means the file is corrupted or tampered — delete and re-download.
- Open the APK — tap the download notification, or find com.bigtincan.android.adfree_9018.apk in your Files app under Downloads, then tap it. Android's package installer will appear.
- Check the signer — the install screen will name the publisher. For this build it should read CN=BigTinCan, OU=Android Development, O=BigTinCan Pty Ltd, L=Sydney, ST=NSW, C=AU. If it doesn't match, cancel — you have the wrong file.
- Review permissions & tap Install — scroll the permission list, then confirm. If Play Protect flags it, tap Install anyway (this APK was scanned as TRUSTED).
- Done — open AdFree — tap Open on the install screen, or find the AdFree icon in your app drawer.
Common install errors for AdFree
- "App not installed" — usually means an older or differently-signed version is already on your device. Uninstall it first, then retry. Your data may be lost unless you back it up.
