### Issue Details
Steps to reproduce:
1. enable adguard (DNS+Firewall) .
2. enable global firewall rules in adguard. disallow all wifi + mobile data connections globally.
3. go to android settings and try to download available android security updates provided by google. This results in the error message "network error. try again later" seen in the german screenshot below
4. check adguard firewall quick actions -> no quick action available, to unlock the android updates
5. check "recent activity" in adguard "statistics" tab-> note the blocked tcp connection from "root" in the second screenshot below. However, there is no app called "root" installed on my phone, so I can not allow this connection/app...
6. enable "custom firewall rule". Allow all wifi+mobile data for all "Download manager" and "system" apps. Repeat step 3 -> Download still does not work
7. disable adguard and repeat step 3 -> android update download works as expected
### Expected Behavior
There should be a way to build custom firewall rules for android updates, when global firewall rules do not allow internet access by default.
### Actual Behavior
android update downloads always fails, when global firewall rules do not allow internet access by default
### Screenshots
Android Update error (german)

I suspect this is the blocked update download
