I’m a mirror. if you’re nice to me, I’m nice to you. if not, well…
did the site allow ranking of politicians or billionaires?

we’ve found the early bird.
i didn’t read this fanfic of Goldilocks!
i put this question to my cat while parading naked in front of it.
i got no response other than a look of utter disdain.
all good info. and all agreed. but the issue in this post isn’t the vpn functionality.
it’s what the adguard android app does in the background when the vpn, itself, is disconnected. that’s when these rogue requests were sent.
this is a possibility. one that i haven’t accounted for.
but is there any literature that verifies this? the closest I’ve found in context is this page, and I’m not able to resolve what you’re saying with whats on there: https://adguard.com/kb/general/ad-filtering/filter-policy/
i don’t have enough info yet to update the post with this conjecture.
the vpn wasn’t connected at the time these requests were sent. that’s how DDG captures these requests, by using the vpn slot itself. these requasts were sent by the adguard app in the background when it was deactivated.
the data sent to third-party ttrackers had nothing to do with the vpn functionality or of other apps funneling their data through it.
this observation has also been corroborated by another user using other means elsewhere in the comments. do give it a dekko, too.
yes, that’s my question too.
i get what you’re saying, but the vpn was inactive when the app sent these requests. DDG was active at the time and using the VPN slot.
so it isn’t the vpn functionality, per se, of the app that’s doing anything here.

i can see where you’re going with this but, no, these are not sites that i’ve visited. for example, my country has its own amazon domain and verizon does not operate where i live.
nope, this is all the adguard vpn android app on its own.
thanks for the feedback. i would be happy to hear what I’m presuming incorrectly here. always willing to learn and gain an understanding of how things do work.
wow. this is good detail, indeed!
so is this an app one should avoid using, then?
i dont know why it’sa at such a low resolution here. it’s fine on my phone.
here, ill try uploading a fresh non-stretched single-screen screenshot to see if the size was the issue.
(i don’t know how it will turn out myself until after i post it.)
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.
and if it talks about D, it just goes around in a circle.
what have they replaced the X button on their controllers with, then?
