Hi! I see you're having connection issues with the Total Adblock app on your Android device using WebKit. Could you share a bit more about what exactly happens when you try to connect? For example, does the app fail to start, show a specific error message, or not block ads as expected?

In the meantime, I can guide you through some common steps to resolve connection problems with Total Adblock on Android:

1. Restart Your Device: Sometimes a simple reboot can clear any temporary glitches affecting the app.

2. Check Your Internet Connection: Make sure your device has a stable internet connection, either through Wi-Fi or mobile data.

3. Update the App: Go to the Google Play Store and verify that your Total Adblock app is updated to the latest version. Updates often fix bugs and improve connectivity.

4. Confirm App Permissions: Total Adblock needs network access to function properly. Go to Settings > Apps > Total Adblock > Permissions and ensure it has the necessary permissions.

5. Review VPN or Proxy Settings: If you have other VPN apps running, they can interfere with Total Adblock’s connection. Try disabling other VPNs to see if that helps.

6. Activate Total Adblock Properly: If you just installed the app, make sure to tap “I Already Have an Account” and follow the connection request prompts to activate it. Sometimes missing that step causes connection failure10.

Please let me know what you observe or if you’ve tried any of these already, so I can tailor the next steps for you!

Not been able to open software. Uninstall/reinstall twice. Have restarted twice. Still can't open software!

Thanks for the details! Since you’ve already uninstalled, reinstalled, and restarted your Android device twice, yet the Total Adblock app still won't open, it’s a bit unusual.

Here’s what I recommend next:

1. Clear App Data and Cache Before Reinstalling:
Sometimes residual data can cause startup failures. Go to Settings > Apps > Total Adblock > Storage, then tap Clear Cache and Clear Data. Since you mentioned uninstalling, make sure this step is done before reinstalling next time.

2. Check for Device Compatibility and Software Updates:
Android 10 should be compatible, but ensure your device system software is fully updated via Settings > System > Software update.

3. Check for Known Issues:
There was a reported issue on Reddit recently about Total Adblock being broken as of April 17, 2024, due to a major upgrade or rewrite of their software causing functionality problems for many users1. That might explain why reinstalling isn’t fixing the app launch problem.

4. Try an Alternative Blocker Temporarily:
If the app won’t open despite the above attempts, it may be wise to try another reputable ad-blocking app on your Android device until Total Adblock releases a stable fix.

5. Contact Total Adblock Support:
Since the problem seems to be on the app side, reaching out to their official support with your device model, OS version, and issue specifics would be a good next step.

Could you please confirm your device model and if you see any error message when tapping the app icon? That info might help diagnose further. Also, have you observed this problem starting recently, aligning with the April 2024 upgrade mentioned?

Let me know, and I’ll assist you further! Are you satisfied with these suggestions so far?

Connect

Thanks for asking about the Total Adblock app Connect setup on your Android device. I’ll guide you through the connection and activation process step-by-step to get you up and running.

Step 1: Open the Total Adblock app
- If the app is installed and opening normally, launch it from your app drawer.
- If you still can’t open it, let me know so we can troubleshoot further.

Step 2: Log in or create an account
- When the app opens, tap the option for “I Already Have an Account” if you’ve registered before, or follow the prompts to create a new account.

Step 3: Allow Connection Request
- After login, you’ll see a connection request prompt asking permission to connect to the app’s VPN or filtering service.
- Tap OK to authorize this — this is necessary to enable the ad blocking at the network level on your Android device.

Step 4: Verify connection
- Once activated, the app should display a status like “Connected” or “Protection Active.”
- Ads should now be blocked across your device’s apps and browser (including WebKit-based browsers).

Additional tips:
- Make sure you follow all setup prompts carefully during first launch since permission requests are required.
- If you want to review or manually set up certificates (needed for HTTPS ad blocking), you can check this guide on Total Adblock support: Android Setup and Certificates.

If you want a video walkthrough, there are also official short guides on YouTube showing the full Android setup, such as this one: Total Adblock Android Setup.

How do I save this without losing you?

Great question about saving your settings in the Total Adblock app! I want to make sure I answer you clearly.

Total Adblock typically saves your settings automatically as you change them within the app’s interface. There usually isn’t a separate "Save" button for preferences like blocking levels or filters—once a setting is selected or toggled, it should be applied and saved immediately.

However, if you’re adjusting more sensitive account configurations, such as your password or subscription info, you would need to explicitly save those changes. For managing your account settings, such as password updates, the process is:

1. Open your Total Adblock app and go to Account Settings.
2. Find the section you want to update (e.g., Password).
3. Enter the required information (current password, new password, confirmation).
4. Tap Save to confirm those changes.

For modifying connection or filtering settings, changes are mostly saved automatically to keep things simple and effective.

If you want to save your Total Adblock settings externally—like backing them up—that’s not typically supported directly in the app. The best approach is to ensure you’re logged into your Total Adblock account, which syncs your preferences across devices.

Does this help with your question about saving settings? Also, if you want to save this chat for reference without losing our conversation here, you can:

- Copy and paste the text into a note app on your device.
- Take screenshots of the chat.
- Keep the chat open in your browser or app while using it.

Let me know if you want tips on any of those options! Are you satisfied with this explanation?

Connect

Hi again! It sounds like you're still having trouble connecting with the Total Adblock app on your Android device. Let me help you narrow down the issue with some targeted steps based on common connection problems users experience:

1. Restart Your Device and App:
You’ve done this already, which is great—this often resolves minor glitches.

2. Check Internet Connection:
Verify your Wi-Fi or mobile data is stable. Try opening a website in your browser to confirm.

3. VPN Permission and Protocol Check:
Total Adblock uses a VPN-like service to block ads. Sometimes, connection issues can arise if the VPN permission wasn't granted correctly. Open the app, look for any permission prompts, and approve them.
Also, try changing the VPN protocol in the app settings (if available). Sometimes switching protocols resolves connectivity issues.

4. App Update:
Make sure your app version is fully updated through the Google Play Store. Updates include bug fixes for connection problems.

5. Other VPNs or Network Filters:
Disable any other VPN or firewall apps you might have running, as they can interfere with Total Adblock's connection.

6. Clear Cache and Data Before Reinstall:
If reinstalling again, first clear the app data and cache:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Total Adblock > Storage > Clear Cache and Clear Data.
- Then uninstall and reinstall the app.

7. Check for Service Status or Known Issues:
There was a reported issue with Total Adblock being unstable in April 2024 due to major software upgrades, which may still be impacting connectivity for some users3. If that’s the case, you might want to wait for further updates or check their official support site for announcements1.

8. Contact Total Adblock Support:
If these steps don’t resolve the problem, their support team is best equipped to handle deeper technical issues. You can reach them here: Total Adblock Contact7.

Would you be able to check the VPN permission prompt or try changing the VPN protocol if the app opens at all? Also, do you recall if this connection problem started recently or has it been ongoing for a long time? This info will help me guide you better.
