In **General mode**, AdGuard VPN by default works on all websites, with the exception of the websites you've added to the exclusions list. In **Selective mode**, vice versa, AdGuard VPN by default doesn't work anywhere. You can add any websites where you'd like it to work to an exclusions list, separate from the one you saw in the **General mode**.

## What is AdGuard VPN for Android?

A VPN is an ideal tool that provides security and anonymity each time you browse the Internet. [How does it work?](/general/how-vpn-works) Without going into technical details, we can say that VPN creates a secure encrypted tunnel between the user's computer or mobile device and a remote VPN server. In this way, data confidentiality is preserved, as well as the anonymity of the user, because a third-party observer sees the IP address of the VPN server and not the actual user's IP.

Each server has its location and its ping rate, describing the response time of the server. The lower this rate, the faster is your connection. The fastest options are always displayed at the top of the list which consists of more than 50 locations in dozens of countries. You can connect to the fastest server by tapping the *Connect/Disconnect* button or by picking a location.

## Exclusions

We've done everything to make it easy for you to manage your site and app exclusion lists. AdGuard VPN will only work where you choose.

### Lists of exclusions

The exclusion lists allow you to select sites for which the VPN should be enabled and for which — disabled. To reach the *Exclusions* section, tap the second icon from the left at the bottom of the screen.
#### For websites

There are two modes: in *General mode* sites from the exclusions list are excluded, and in *Selective mode*, they will be the only ones where AdGuard VPN works.

There are two modes: in *General mode*, websites from the list of exclusions are excluded, and in *Selective mode*, they will be the only ones where AdGuard VPN works.

You can add domains (e.g. `google.com`) or subdomains (e.g. `*.google.com`) of websites to the *Exclusions* in three ways: enter them manually in the app, or right from the browser by clicking the *Share* button and selecting AdGuard VPN in the opened list below, or from built-in lists of services divided by categories.

As you can enable subdomains in service lists, we added boxes that reflect the status of each service — you can see them on the main screen of *Exclusions* to the left of each service name: **fully-enabled** status is marked with a white check mark on green background, **fully-disabled** — with a gray box, and **partly-enabled**, which means that one or more parameters were changed — with a green square on white background. Good news: you can always return to the default view of service lists in case you’ve deleted or disabled any domains from there.

- **Fully enabled** is indicated by a white check mark on a green background
- **Partially enabled** (enabled subdomains without the main domain) is marked with a green square on a white background

Another useful feature is *Import/Export exclusions*. There are only four steps to reach the goal:

1. Open AdGuard VPN on the device/in the browser from where you want to export your lists of exclusions. Find the appropriate section and click the *Export* button. The `adguard_vpn_exclusions.zip` archive will be downloaded.
2. There are two `.txt` files inside the archive, one for each of the *General* and *Selective* lists. Add more exclusions to them, delete the existing ones, rename files (but more on this later), or just leave the archive with files as is.

3. When transferring between different devices, don't forget to send the `.zip` file to the device for import. For example, if you import exclusion lists from your Windows device to your Android, make sure to send the `.zip` file to your Android beforehand.
4. Open AdGuard VPN on the device where you want to import the archive with the ready lists of exclusions. Find the appropriate section, click the *Import* button and select the archive.

### Apps Settings
#### For apps

As we mentioned above, not only websites can be easily added to the exclusions. Choose for which applications you need AdGuard VPN and for which you don't. Tap the icon next to the *Exclusions lists* icon at the bottom of the screen, to open Apps settings. By default, AdGuard VPN works with all apps, but you can toggle the slider next to any app in the list — and disable AdGuard VPN for it.

### DNS servers

The purpose of the [Domain name system](https://adguard-dns.io/kb/general/dns-filtering/#what-is-dns) (DNS) is to translate websites' names into something browsers can understand, i.e. IP addresses. This job is performed by DNS servers. AdGuard VPN for Android offers a choice of several DNS servers, each with special qualities. For example, [AdGuard DNS](https://adguard-dns.io/kb/) removes ads and protects your device from tracking while AdGuard DNS Family Protection combines the functions of AdGuard DNS with SafeSearch and adult content blocking. There is also an option to add a custom DNS server.

*Operating mode* section allows you to choose one of three options: VPN, Proxy, and Compatibility mode. In *VPN mode* all traffic is routed through AdGuard VPN automatically. When the *Proxy mode* (SOCKS5) is on, AdGuard VPN runs a local proxy server which can be used by other apps to route their traffic through it. Choose this option only if you know what you are doing. Enabled *Compatibility mode* allows AdGuard VPN and AdGuard Ad Blocker to work together.

Apps on Android devices may not always run stably in the background for various reasons, which may differ depending on the device model. This is most often due to Android OS optimization function, or so called "battery save mode". In such cases, the system closes apps in order to reduce the load and free up RAM.
