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?
Edit: I'm remembering that some VPN services use users devices as a server of their own, proxying connections for other users on another service. I don't know what's going on here, but if you don't have Tiktok and Snapchat both installed then I'd say that's likely what's going on. I've never used AdGuatd, there are much better VPN services.
I'm gonna say you have Tiktok and Snapchat installed on your phone? The rest of those are just random services (CDNs, ads, analytics, bug reporting, etc) that background apps (some are from Tiktok and Snapchat, but tons of apps use the same ones) are connecting to.
Set up NextDNS on your phone without any VPN running and odds are you'll see the same.
