* applications, like web browsers, may cache data, so you may need to clear caches
* applications, browsers mostly, that have a *"data saver"*-like feature that proxies requests through their servers (eg. Opera w/ Turbo, Opera Max, Puffin, Chrome w/ data saver, UC Browser, Yandex w/ Turbo, Apus Browser, KK Browser, Onavo Extend, Maxthon) will not have ads blocked as NetGuard cannot see those domain requests
* applications, browsers mostly, can have a private DNS feature (Chrome: three-dots menu, Settings, Privacy, Use secure DNS, turn off)
* applications, including browser, can be system apps, which require managing system apps in the advanced settings to be enabled
* the Android always-on VPN setting *Block connections without VPN* will result in stop sending domain names to the VPN after some time
* YouTube ads are not domain-based, and thus cannot be blocked with NetGuard
* NetGuard ignores the IP addresses in the hosts file, because it does not route blocked domains to localhost
* When NetGuard imports the hosts file, it automatically discards any duplicates entries, so duplicate entries are not a problem and have no performance impact after the file is imported

like when there is no internet connectivity yet (when starting up your device)
or when incorrectly requiring manual approval of the VPN service again (when starting up your device).
