this is what I use on my iphone and ipad, in combination with adguard home
I configured NextDNS applications to be disabled when these devices are connected to my home wifi (and thus access to adguard home)
I'm getting Secure Connection Failed error on every single website I try to visit. Including sites such as microsoft.com, duckduckgo.com, google.com, etc. (Strangely, mozilla.org works fine.) Try Again never works, and Advanced - Accept risk works sometimes, but not always and if I close Firefox app and re-open it's back to the error page. I can't believe this is a common problem, so there must be something about my phone that's causing this. Android 11. Happens whether or not WiFi is enabled. What could it be?
Yes, that's it. I have the AdGuard app installed. Disabling it solves the problem. But Firefox is the only browser that has a problem with AdGuard. Edge, Opera and Chrome all work fine with it. Is this a problem with AdGuard or Firefox?
Edit: Problem solved. AdGuard has an app specific setting for filtering https traffic. For some reason it was turned on for Firefox by default, but not the other browsers. Turning it off solved the problem.
I think you would be best served by contacting the Adguard support team as it may be the case that they have not retested their app further to the work we did last summer to five Firefox for Android a considerable upgrade.

I have the same problem on a Samsung S9+ with Firefox as the default browser.Could you please specify exactly where I can find the list of allowed browsers in the AdGuard settings? I've searched without success.
That fixed it for me. But I don't know what the potential downside might be. I just experimented with turning the setting on for Chrome and Edge and they still seem to work fine, so something weird does seem to be going on.
It works!Thank you so much, I was looking in "Settings" from the main menu and didn't think of looking in Apps Management.I think I'll copy your solution on Mozilla's forum, it might wake someone up, there.Thanks again.
I got the same problem with Firefox just recently. Actually, I turned on the HTTPS Filtering long time ago for my all browser (Samsung Internet, Brave, Chrome, Firefox) and it`s all working fine even until now. Only the Firefox got an issue.
I still have same problem with firefox nightly browser on my android phone but in my case no security apps or ad ons could cause it cause I recently installed it (yesterday to be precise). Though after removing socks configuration it do browse the internet but I want to surf the internet using socks 5.... Thanks for your support in advance

I'm a premium user. I use AdGuard DNS on all platforms I use Spotify with. Since I'm paying a monthly fee to avoid advertisements on Spotify, I'm obviously not using AdGuard to block anything Spotify related.
I've confirmed the issue is DNS. That is, on my phone, I removed the custom DNS AdGuard setting. On my router, I changed the DNS to Google's DNS (8.8.8.8). This fixed my phone and desktop issues (including web based player).
In the meantime, we just wanted to make sure that you've tried disabling Adguard to see if this issue occurs irrespective of it.
If you're sure Adguard is the cause of this, could you still try a clean reinstall of the Spotify app on your Android device to see if that helps solve the issue?
If that doesn't work, another thing you could try which has been suggested in other forums is to perform a DNS flush, followed by disabling your NIC and re-enabling it as a way of restarting.
There's not much else we can suggest at this time, but do let us know how you get on - we'll do our best to answer any further questions you might have.
Same here, I'm looking for a solution for months now...
As of today, Spotify is not working with AdGuard DNS Filtering (Spotify app is considered offline and is not able to see any Airplay or bluetooth devices).
Does anyone know specifically which domain Spotify is using that is being blocked? Another workaround would be to unblock just that one domain in AdGuard. It's a workaround, not an ideal solution because a Premium account shouldn't be failing when it cannot reach an ad domain, but at least it would work without disabling AdGuard for anything else.
I have a similar issue. I have whitelisted spotify.com in the AdGuard allowlist, but that didn't fix my problem ,which is that if I use my Android phone with Spotify Premium from my home WiFi network, and leave home, I have to disable AdGuard to stream Spotify content. Once it connects, it appears that i can re-enable AdGuard.
I had similar problem with premium... flaky playback to Spotify speakers on my home wifi. Fix was to go to app management in the adguard app, find the Spotify app, and completely disable all adguard features fir it.
Removing ads affects the internet ecosystem and the monetization ability of many businesses. If you frequently use certain apps, websites, and services, consider subscribing to their paid services or adding them to a whitelist. Help them continue to be useful to you.
One of the easiest ways to block ads on Android smartphones is by changing to an ad-blocking service's private DNS provider. This method requires no apps, but it only works on Android phones with Android 9 Pie and above, as the Private DNS setting was introduced with this version of the OS.
To change the DNS, go to Settings > Network and Internet > Advanced > Private DNS. Choose the option Private DNS Provider Hostname, and enter dns.adguard.com or one.one.one.one, and hit Save. That's it. You'll no longer see any in-app ad banners, nor any advertisements on web browsers.
The service comes with three sources with over 90,000 user-verified hosts, with new hosts regularly being added to the list. If some ads still seep through, you can use the DNS logging feature to record the outgoing DNS requests and manually add them to the "hosts" file. But even without touching any of these or getting too technical, AdAway effectively blocks out most ads, if not all, across apps and websites.
Besides blocking ads, Blokada also strengthens your privacy by encrypting DNS queries where possible. You can create your own hostlist and control which domains should be blocked or whitelisted. Blokada is available on the Play Store, but it lacks several key features due to Google Play's strict policy. For the best experience, download the fully-fledged version from Blokada's official website.
I can get a list of all the packages installed on my android, but to open an application I need the activity name and the package name. Is there a way to list all the activities in a package through adb shell. The android manifest file pulled from the phone doesn't help as it is the binary version of the file, therefore containing no meaningful information. And LAUNCHER 1, or main activity works for a lot of apps but not all. Therefore, I do need to find out the exact name of activities within an application.
Package name itself can help filter & I do that to grab userid all the time. Wonder why no one uses it for activity.So here goes
Give me all the packages activities followed by specific filter e.g. filter 5b2a894 for package com.whatsapp . Change that name as needed.
