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?

    Ohh yeah my bad! Haven’t seen the DDG notice. It’s not obvious and OP doesn’t give much info.

    But I REALLY doubt this is AdgaurdVPN sending all those request, this would be a real concern for a lot of people and other VPNs would already have jumped on the “Adguard” is bad train.

    AdguardVPN seems effectively to send a lot of sketchy dns request…

      it’s DDG that’s active, and which has filtered out these tracking requests sent by the adguard vpn android app (with its own vpn inactive) in the background.
