my apologies for the long screenshot. i had purchased adguard’s vpn service for five years since its primary adguard service is well know in the iapple ecosystem.

on android, though, their app appears to send data to a lot of third-parties. has it always been this compromised? am i a fool to go for their vpn services as well?

      would you have done this with the ad guard vpn deactivated but the app still running in the background?

      I’ve been using the app for a few montha now and it’s only today that it got flagged in the DDG report. it’s not shown up before.

        Hey I gave it a second try with another tool: PCAPdroid and I’m not sure what I’m looking at … Adguard VPN seems effectively to send a lot of traffic to strange DNS requests…

        Just by opening the app and loggin in a fake account I got over 200 requests…

        I’m not an expert but those requests seem sketchy !!!
