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.

Installs and configures relatively painlessly using a combination of your AdGuard DNS dashboard and a QR code. The problem I always seem to have with DNS blocker apps like this are they're implemented as a passthrough VPN. One other issue I noticed, now that I'm giving it a second try, is that the app seems to exit overnight. I have it set up for unrestricted battery use, but for some reason it exits, reverting my DNS resolution back to "Automatic" (Cloudflare via Google).

Hello, It is indeed a local-VPN-based solution and unfortunately there's no way around it on Android. Regarding IPv6, could you please contact us at support@adguard-dns.io and provide more details about that?

The auto reconnect thing is now fixed (thank you), is it possible now to fix the wireless android auto connection issue? Since this app functions as a VPN instead of a DNS entry, it does not allow for wireless android auto connection.

Hello! We're happy you're satisfied with the solution. We're working on a feature to exclude some apps, like Android Auto, from DNS filtering to fix the other issue. Please contact us at support@adguard-dns.io for further help, as it's the best way to reach us.
