It's a good app that solved a problem I was having, but there's a big issue with it: when I clear the apps in the Recent Apps screen, the app and the DNS that works via VPN stop working and can't continue running in the background. For your information, this problem occurs on Xiaomi Redmi phones. I don't know if it appears on other devices, but this thing bothers me a lot. I hope you Adguard team fix the problem as soon as possible. Thank you.

Hello! We are working on a solution to add a background process for the AdGuard DNS app on Android so it can stay active even when swiped away. For now, please keep the app in the recent apps list without closing it. And if you have any questions, feel free to contact us at support@adguard-dns.io.

Just use Androids custom DNS settings. I've allowed background app usage and configured Android to not kill the app in the background and yet multiple times per day I pick up my phone and it needs to be turned back on. The VPN style configuration is too inconvenient and unreliable.

Hello! The AdGuard DNS app doesn’t have a background service, so please don’t close it — just keep it in recent apps to maintain filtering. And the VPN-style configuration is currently the only working method for DNS filtering on Android. If you have any questions, feel free to write to support@adguard-dns.io.

Update: I understand your response. However Android private DNS has a flaw many times I have no internet. Adguard app via a local VPN works much better. I am a Adguard DNS (server) user which works extremely well in my home network.

We're glad to hear you love our products. And you're right saying AdGuard Ad Blocker app is much more flexible in this terms. Maybe, we'll consider such features in AdGuard DNS one day.

What’s new

The AdGuard DNS mobile app v1.1 now supports Managed App Configuration, making large-scale deployments easier. You can now set up the app remotely by defining the Setup ID, device name, and other settings before the first launch. Once applied, these settings can’t be modified by the user, giving organizations a straightforward way to roll out AdGuard DNS across many devices.
