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?
Hey I gave it a second try with another tool: PCAPdroid and I’m not sure what I’m looking at … Adguard VPN seems effectively to send a lot of traffic to strange DNS requests…
Just by opening the app and loggin in a fake account I got over 200 requests…
I’m not an expert but those requests seem sketchy !!!
So at this point you’re still not connecting the VPN or anything? This is just after you log in?
Yes :) just after I login ! PCAPdroid doesn’t allow a VPN connection.
wow. this is good detail, indeed!
so is this an app one should avoid using, then?
I would say Yes. If you are on android give PCAPdroid a try and see it by yourself.
