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?

Are there any nonmalicoius reasons why adguard would be dialing into ad servers? My first thought it that you gotta know who the advertisers are to block em, but I’m not familiar with adguard as a vpn or a browser side blocker.

yes, that's my question too.
