# Using BlueBubbles with Adguard

This page will show you how you can use BlueBubbles with Adguard, if you are having connection issues.

### Overview

Adguard is a local VPN on your Android device that you can use for simple DNS blocking.

Many of you are using one of BlueBubble's built in proxy services such as Cloudflare or Ngrok. Sometimes, Adguard will block these domains, and can cause connection issues between your BlueBubbles Android app and the BlueBubbles Server.

### The Fix

The fix is simple. Just open the Adguard app's settings, and disable Adguard for the BlueBubbles App.

See the screenshot below for an example of this (note the `Adguard protection` toggle is disabled):

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.bluebubbles.app/client/usage-guides/using-bluebubbles-with-adguard.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
