Does Adguard work on iOS 12?

Last update was that the developer wasn’t sure how the app was going to respond to iOS12 since it’s unlikely Apple will let him update it. The free version will still work but, doesn’t have the vpn feature.. I’m disappointed Apple is screwing with them because it works very well
Yeah it is working great so far on beta 11, blocks app add too.
Hope it continues to work!
That’s good to hear. Hopefully something can get worked out between developer and Apple so updates will continue. Hate to see the app slowly deteriorate due to no updates.
Adguard was forced to remove VPN based in-app ad blocking in iOS11. Is something else changing in iOS12?
It's unfair for customers who buy apps for specific features and later Apple changes its mind and forces developers to remove functionality without any way for customers getting a refund who now find the app not very useful or serving the intended purpose.
Happened with Adguard, Launcher and few more apps as well.

I have no experience with the pro version, but the free version is working perfectly fine with iOS 12—I highly recommend it!
The reason I don’t use the pro version is that it uses VPN to do it’s magic, and that causes my main VPN app to not function properly, but that is not specific for iOS 12. It’s a problem with the pro version on all iOS versions.

Don't know since i just got the app a week ago, but the DNS filtering VPN is also system wide, at the DNS level.
