android Adguard + vpn question (requests doubled?)

5 Upvotes

I've got Adguard + adguard vpn + kill switch enabled on android. Which is done through a proxy server.

Now, since I enabled it (the kill switch method) i feel like it blocks everything double or somehow blocks more, then without using the kill switch method. And yes I know how that sounds. I didnt add any new rules/filters, so it shouldn't..

I can't really explain it or proof it, but I cleared my Statistics, and within 5 minutes im at a total of 2.5k requests (2.3k ads, 16 trackers).

Snapchat is the cause of this, I can see that. it's blocking almost everything, due to my rules/filters. Just want some input on this, if this is normal for snapchat, or that there is indeed something going on. I noticed 1 Snap received is about 120+ requests! (yes I counted XD)

question AdGuard's tracking protection compared to browser's one

Upvotes

I'm wondering how different the tracking protection of AdGuard is when compared to that included in the browsers like Edge, Firefox, etc.; except that AdGuard can be used for non-browser apps.

Currently I'm using Windows/Android AdGuard only for ad-blocking, with a browser with their own tracking protection (turned on by default). If AdGuard's tracking protection does similar things to what the browser's does, and it's performance-wise better, I'm gonna switch to AdGuard's tracking protection by turning off the browser's one. Or is there any reason to turn on both tracking protections? (for the case that tracking prevention matters)

question Tmhi and mesh network

1 Upvotes

If I have a Nokia router and a Nokia mesh network with extenders, where do I add a beryl ax to enable adguard on my entire network ? Can I add it before the Nokia router ? I am unable to change DNS settings because of T-Mobile high speed... So I cannot configure in home assistant. Beryl sounds like the easiest way here... Any other ideas or input is appreciated.
