Good news for Android TV users: App exclusions are here! With this highly anticipated feature, you can choose which apps the VPN should cover — either only selected ones or all apps except those on your exclusions list. More control, smoother streaming, less hassle.
We’ve also strengthened security in two key areas. Integration mode with AdGuard Ad Blocker now uses an updated connection protocol with credential-based authentication, allowing the ad blocker and VPN to sync securely and automatically without any extra steps from the user, while preventing third-party apps from monitoring their interaction.
Moreover, the local SOCKS5 proxy is now protected with authentication. Previously, some apps could detect an open proxy and connect to it without your knowledge, potentially exposing the proxy server’s IP address. To prevent this, we’ve introduced authentication for the proxy using a login and password, keeping your connection better protected.
Along the way, we’ve also fixed a number of bugs and made improvements under the hood. The app now runs more smoothly, feels more stable, and delivers an overall better experience.
