Add abroad mode
Add a function called Abroad mode allow only certain apps and limited traffic daily or weekly (or personalized period of time) for when you go abroad.. And add the possibility to block image, video, swf file etc..
Made the function available only for premium..
And add the possibility to block image, video, swf file etc..
It is possible already with your user filter. You can add rules like:
*.jpg
*.swf

Looks too complex to me, it will be really hard to explain how to use it.
Maybe something simpler? Like if device goes abroad/roaming Adguard blocks all background apps net access?
Yes! But I understand him to also be asking for a way to mark exceptions to that — i.e., I won't want any apps but, e.g., my MMS app, & that perhaps only from 9a to 5p weekdays.
The way I understand this, it could be an evolving feature, with updates going further down the :rabbit: hole. :wink:

Don't you think that's an overkill?
I suggest something like blocking background apps and when app comes to foreground allow user to unblock it (like how it's done now when the app is blocked by the firewall).
Yep, that works, if you'll also add an entirely optional "Remember this" checkbox (default off).
I figure the point of a request like this, when users ask for the moon, start with a pebble & build from there — but don't forget to build! Moon-like timescale's perhaps ok. :wink:

True:)
@Snake87r what do you think about my suggestion: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/108#issuecomment-149276409?
@ameshkov It just occurred to me what @Snake87r means by

He, of course, means to have such a filter turned on only during roaming, when these are heavy data-use MIME-types. I guess that's a filtering enhancement request? Also on moon-timescale? :wink:
I just thought that it could be implemented easily IF we had Adguard "profiles". You could simply switch to another profile with necessary filters enabled.
Wow! That's more than I was thinking of.… Though I do think a full profile system may not be used much, other than perhaps just a roaming/abroad vs home, or day vs night, i.e., most folks will have max 2 profiles, probably mostly only 1.
Hello, I don't think the foreground pop-up solution is good for this use, but the profile solution is very good, so with this the user can create a roaming profile or any other profile he want. If it's possibile the suggestion is:
In the firewall screen in the menu add this:
Change current profile Create new profile Edit Profile
A user create a profile and the app save (only the enabled option like enable filter ads, allow Wifi, allow mobile, with this if the user install other app are disabled by default)
Default profile (all enabled) Save only the disabled option like (not enabled filter ads), Wifi not permitted, mobile not permitted, with this if he user install other app are enabled by default
Or a best solution, in the profile creation add an option to choose between enable new apps by default or disable new apps by default..
The swf jpg and other file filter can be added in future if it's too long to do..
PS: Excuse me for my english, I hope I've explained correctly my solution..

"Profile" should include all AG settings including user filter, so blocking svg/jpg and such won't be a problem.
I'll add this issue to 4.0 Milestone (when we plan to introduce user profiles and cloud sync)

@ameshkov I'm very, very sorry to necropost 🙇🏾♂️, but I must ask: how is this implemented in, e.g., AGa v4.4n9?
The last info I see is that it's merged into https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/3379, where I asked @ https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/3379#issuecomment-1325973485
Are you planning to reopen the linked issues that are not implemented?
& received answer
We'll audit the tasks on v4.0 closer to the release date and see which ones should be shifted to a later date.
Are we there yet? 😉 The reason I bring is up now is that AGVPNa has the parallel request https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardVPNForAndroid/issues/350, which seems to make more sense in Integrated mode if this is implemented here, as well.
Heh, well, we had to limit ourselves a bit. Profile is a complicated concept that would just take too much of our time.

Does that mean https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardVPNForAndroid/issues/350 is also unlikely?
