much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
the vpn wasn't connected at the time these requests were sent. that's how DDG captures these requests, by using the vpn slot itself. these requasts were sent by the adguard app in the background when it was deactivated.
the data sent to third-party ttrackers had nothing to do with the vpn functionality or of other apps funneling their data through it.
this observation has also been corroborated by another user using other means elsewhere in the comments. do give it a dekko, too.
