Protect from DPI

Open ghost opened this issue 2 years ago • 11 comments

As this is in many other AdGuard apps documented here, it would be great if we could get it in AdGuard for iOS one day.

Stealth mode is very much needed in ios :( Hoping for the isp dpi stuff to get implemented As this gives access to sites blocked by isp :(

@jslawler Discussed your suggestion. We don't think this feature will appear anytime soon because of Apple AppStore restrictions.

Thanks Diana.

As a curiosity, from an iOS point of view, what is actually required when protecting against DPI, and where does iOS fall short?

I can't find too much information around.

@jslawler To implement DPI protection, we will have to create new corelibs. And we are not quite sure yet if they will be allowed by the AppStore's restriction policy.

The “Unicorn Https” app seems to implement dpi circumvention. Could be able to do the same

looks like they just launched their new pro version which has DPI obfuscation. totally possible in iOS. this would be great to implement in Adguard as a pro feature too

looks like apple has approved just this approach for the below app :) looks like we have a way forward!

As far as i know, if DPI protection in Unicorn Pro adblocker is enabled, a VPN connection cannot be used in the same time.

it can be if ita a different type of VPN (split or personal etc)

could also do a .profile for the same task to avoid that ;)

Just checking in to see if this feature will be added to the next sprints or releases. If Unicorn HTTPS updates their app to be able to use DOH/DOT DNS, then Adguard becomes a bit redundant on iOS. Adguard is my preferred app I want to continue supporting.

@Versty Hi, is there any updates on the feature status?

I’ve been using Unicorn HTTPS for 8 months now, and I haven’t had any issues with it on the app store. Considering that DPI circumvention has been out for a while without any problems, I think it’s a low-risk move and should be implemented by AdGuard.
