## FAQ

You can ask for help in [discussion](https://github.com/dovecoteescapee/ByeDPIAndroid/discussions).

No. The application uses the VPN mode on Android to redirect traffic, but does not send anything to a remote server. It does not encrypt traffic and does not hide your IP address.

### How to use ByeDPI with AdGuard?

1. Run ByeDPI in proxy mode.
2. Add ByeDPI to AdGuard exceptions on the "App management" tab.
3. In AdGuard settings, specify the proxy:

   ```plaintext
   Proxy type: SOCKS5
   Proxy host: 127.0.0.1
   Proxy port: 1080 (default)
   ```
