## Exclusions

You can find the Exclusions tab by tapping the second icon in the bottom bar.

In *Regular* mode, the VPN works for all websites except the excluded ones. Conversely, in *Selective* mode, the VPN only works for websites from the list.
By default, AdGuard VPN is active for all websites except those added to exclusions. You can also turn it on selectively — VPN will be active only for specified websites. To switch to this mode, tap *Change mode*.

When you manually add a domain, all subdomains are added automatically (it looks like `*.google.com`). Want to keep only google.com or turn VPN off for a specific domain? Tap the line with the website — it will open a separate screen where you can manage subdomains. Just uncheck the boxes for those you don't need.

If you manually add a subdomain, the main domain will also added — but the checkbox next to it will not be checked.

### Domain lists for popular services

Large services like Google are tricky. They usually use more than one domain — one for media files, another for the API, plus domains for different countries. For example, in the case of Google, we have 416 domains in our list — all of them need to be added to exclusions to completely turn VPN off (or on) for the service.
