MacroDroid : Using password in Intent

[Shyam]

I use Adguard on my Pixel 6a. After a recent major upgrade, I noticed that the app is disabled erratically. Since this behavior is unpredictable, it is difficult to capture logs precisely for troubleshooting. I did manage once to capture and send them and they are taking too long to revert, so I thought of automation as an alternative.

Adguard suggests using Tasker set up as below. I tried replicating in MacroDroid unsuccessfully. Please note that the password, package name and class are correctly entered. The action I am trying now when Adguard is running is

> `stop` stops the protection, no extra data required;

Tasker Implementation


MacroDroid Implementation

This doesn't work in MacroDroid. How do I fix this. Also once it works setting a macro with trigger as "screen on" and send this intent every minute is my thought. Any better ideas? Thanks for your help

Sorry for the formatting, doing it on the mobile!

I can see in your screenshot that the action used is stop and not dns_server as shown in Tasker.
Concerning the true problem, isn't it just a battery saving restriction issue ? Unless a bug in the app.

I think this intent will work.

Yes, the action is different. Knowledge base gave this as an example and I only changed the action as specified

No, it isn't a battery optimization problem-that was the first thing I checked

Thanks for the suggestion. I forgot mentioning in the question that I tried this too

Unfortunately, doesn't work

Edit: wow, it worked! Thank you! The mistake both of us had done while trying this option was that we didn't declare auto detect type to "string"

Did you know that different versions of Adguard have different intents?
What version are you using?

 

[Shyam]

Yes, I am aware, I am using v4.1 but your solution with a tweak worked! Please see edit to my reply

It's working on Auto...

Guess you missed seeing my edit; by auto I suppose you mean Android auto, I don't have that. But if you mean auto detecting it doesn't for me

But thanks again for getting it work
