Automate VPN (Adguard) when lauching Chrome

[Ewilan]

Hello,

I've juste downloaded Tasker today and I would like to know how to configure an auto ON/OFF VPN when launching an app (here Chrome). 

I've already seen that I have to create a profil with "Send Intent" but when I fill in the box, nothing happens.

I used this link : https://kb.adguard.com/en/android/solving-problems/tasker

Can someone help me ? 

Thanks and good day !

did you fill in the intent as shown? of course using your own password? did it run?

then you need a trigger for when to run it. when do you want it to run?

[Marta Hintz]

oh i see with chrome. use as your profile the load app chrome

Profile: chrome (589)
Application: Chrome
Enter: Chrome app (1197)
A1: Flash [ Text:intent Long:On ]
A2: Send Intent [ Action: Cat:None Mime Type: Data: Extra: Extra: Extra: Package: Class: Target:Broadcast Receiver ]

something lime that...

Hello Marta,

I don't think I get what you're saying. I tried to run it via OpenVPN but I miss some files I guess (Certificates number where I don't know I can get).

Is it possible to run the VPN with tasker not using any input options ?

Thanks

This is what I use.  I have it set to stop the exit task if I restart the app as well.  This keeps it from turning off if I change my mind and re-open the app.

For the certificate, you need to have I believe fingerprint lockscreen set up (for AdGuard) in order to install it.  If you don't wish to use a lockscreen you can set it up and then use Smart Lock (if you're on Android).

Profile: Adguard On (3)
Restore: no Enforce: no
Application: Chrome or TuneIn Radio
Enter: Adguard On (2)
Abort Existing Task
A1: Stop [ With Error:Off Task:Adguard Off ]
A2: Send Intent [ Action:start Cat:None Mime Type: Data: Extra:password:(your password here) Extra: Extra: Package:com.adguard.android Class:com.adguard.android.receivers.AutomationReceiver Target:Broadcast Receiver ]

Exit: Adguard Off (4)
Abort Existing Task
A1: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:0 Minutes:1 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A2: Send Intent [ Action:stop Cat:None Mime Type: Data: Extra: Extra:password:(your password here) Extra: Package:com.adguard.android Class:com.adguard.android.receivers.AutomationReceiver Target:Broadcast Receiver ]
