ABP allowing ads on wifi by it self. Shield tablet 5.1.111

[LordBlud]

After random time passes it suddenly starts to allow ads by itself.
In status bar it permanently says allowing ads on wifi. Even when it doesn't.
Every hour or so I need to disable and enable blocking inside ABP for it to block again.
Status bar message never changes.

Running ABP 1.2.1 # 347

Same here, I wonder if adblock really works or not

ABP crash regularly on Android, suddenly ABP starts to allow fu.. ads despite the WiFi, he doesn't recognize proxy settings after restarting.

You need to reboot Android for ABP working correctly again, until it crash again.

It's stupid and like that since the end of 2013, it was never fixed this regular crash.

I'm on Samsung Galaxy S4.

The problem isn't in ABP but in Android in how it treats apps and takes care of RAM.
It kicks out apps from memory it thinks isn't currently needed and the only way to be sure of that ABP will remain in memory and continue working is to give it highest priority. You do this in Lollipop in Settings : Sound & notification : App notification. Touch ABP in the app list and give it the priority it needs. Solved!

How do you do this in KitKat? There is no such setting as "Sound & notification" in KitKat; nor can I find anything similar in the app manager.
