Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

AdGuard is a remarkable web filter that protects you from annoying advertising, malicious and phishing websites, online tracking and much more. AdGuard really handles all types of internet ads, speeds up page load, saves bandwidth and increases your device protection against possible threats. Adguard filters only browsers traffic and does not interfere with other apps you use. We use a unique technology that allows filtering the traffic on your device without ROOT privileges. Filtering speed does not depend on the work of VPN server, as it is embedded right in your device. How does Adguard protection works? Adguard filters your browsers traffic by blocking requests to phishing and malicious websites and removing intrusive browser advertising. Adguard can use two modes of traffic filtering. 1. Local VPN mode. 2. 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, 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 launch 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 (Edge3G4G) will also be impossible. Premium features The basic functionality of the application is absolutely free. If you prefer, you can use Adguard for Android additional premium features for a small monthly fee. 1. Protection against malicious and phishing sites. Our blacklists contain millions of websites. With Adguard you are protected from online threats! 2. Improved ad blocking.

AdGuard APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the AdGuard APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store's check of the developer's signature failed. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is ae001c133ec6cf803dcd3c63dbd4a9fe.
