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?

Yep, exactly my thoughts after reading how it works. Actually installed DDG as well to double check, and as expected I can't run it simultaneously to my VPN.

you are correct. activating one switches off the other. but the adguard vpn app still runs in the background even with its own vpn deactivated -- and that's when these requests were caughtin DDG's net.
