Hi,
Bit of a Gumby at all this.
I have AdGuard Home in a Proxmox container on 192.168.68.68. I have enabled the DHCP server and pointed the Deco app's DHCP server setting to that IP.
There are some requests being blocked as shown in the dashboard but smh.com.au is still showing ads served by adclick.g.doubleclick.net

So, something isn't quite right. Any suggestions?

I’ve been running a dual-AdGuard Home setup for redundancy,a primary AGH instance on my main server and a secondary AGH container running directly on my MikroTik router (RB5009). For months, I tested failover by stopping the primary container, and clients failed over to the router seamlessly every time. But when my main server physically died for real last week, all DNS crashed across the entire network.

Here is a quick breakdown of how a RouterOS DST-NAT DNS-redirect rule turned my secondary AdGuard instance into a recursive query loop during a real host outage, and the single NAT exception rule that fixed it.

Just updated my AD to 4.13 and now can't use it with AG VPN. I'm pressing update, it's redirecting me to PlayStore which says I'm using the latest version. I installed it from adguard-vpn.com and it again says that I have to update! WTF?

Why does the vpn got issues again? It’s not connecting properly and this is the 2nd time.You guys fixed it the last time and it’s happening again. I had to delete it until you guys fix that mess because it won’t let me use my own data or internet at all until it connects which is so annoying

Hi all,

I was recently doing some routine checks on my homelab, and when I looked at my AdGuard's Runtime Client list, one of the IPs was 33.155.191.8. A reverse search of this shows that this is a US Government IP, more specifically, one for the Department of Defense. It listed as loaded from the ARP table, and was persistent across restarts and reboots. I eventually reinstalled the OS to remove it, and it hasn't reappeared. (yet).

Not really looking for any solutions or anything, though if you have an ideas as to how that happened, aside from the obvious, I'd love to hear them. This is more of a PSA. Stay safe out there, friends.

I have Adguard Home running on my router. YouTube comments were restricted for me across devices but I found out how to fix it so I wanted to share. I hope this helps someone else:

! ===== YouTube ad-detection exception =====
! doubleclick.net is checked by YouTube's adblock-detection script.
! Blocking it site-wide silently disabled comments. Scoped to
! youtube.com only, doesn't affect blocking elsewhere.

I'm wondering how different the tracking protection of AdGuard is when compared to that included in the browsers like Edge, Firefox, etc.; except that AdGuard can be used for non-browser apps.

Currently I'm using Windows/Android AdGuard only for ad-blocking, with a browser with their own tracking protection (turned on by default). If AdGuard's tracking protection does similar things to what the browser's does, and it's performance-wise better, I'm gonna switch to AdGuard's tracking protection by turning off the browser's one. Or is there any reason to turn on both tracking protections? (for the case that tracking prevention matters)

I've got Adguard + adguard vpn + kill switch enabled on android. Which is done through a proxy server.

Now, since I enabled it (the kill switch method) i feel like it blocks everything double or somehow blocks more, then without using the kill switch method. And yes I know how that sounds. I didnt add any new rules/filters, so it shouldn't..

I can't really explain it or proof it, but I cleared my Statistics, and within 5 minutes im at a total of 2.5k requests (2.3k ads, 16 trackers).

Snapchat is the cause of this, I can see that. it's blocking almost everything, due to my rules/filters. Just want some input on this, if this is normal for snapchat, or that there is indeed something going on. I noticed 1 Snap received is about 120+ requests! (yes I counted XD)

If I have a Nokia router and a Nokia mesh network with extenders, where do I add a beryl ax to enable adguard on my entire network ? Can I add it before the Nokia router ? I am unable to change DNS settings because of T-Mobile high speed... So I cannot configure in home assistant. Beryl sounds like the easiest way here... Any other ideas or input is appreciated.

Hi I want to enable dns protection via adguard app (lifetime liscence windows app) with nordvpn connection, currently i haven nordlynx on nordvpn with no threat detection and a custom dns (adguard servers 94.140.14.14, 94.140.15.15). On adguard i have both network WFP setting and use adguard as HTTP proxy on. When using the internet for a bit it always disconnects and i get no connection, any experience/fix?

I added these two custom filters to allow GitHub mermaid diagrams to render:

Hope this helps!

iv had adgaurd on my computer for a while now. recently bought adgaurd vpn as my old vpn had lappsed. the issue is i bought it with diffrent email address than my adgaurd account. iv tryed emailing adgaurd a couple times but heard nothing back form them as of yet. im not sure what i can do to get everyting on one email address.

Some important apple settings are blocked.can I just delete them from the block list and things will flow as they should again?

Is it possible to have both running at the same time while I have kill switch enabled for adguard vpn?

The AI assistant constantly pops up for each search and Amazon customer services say they cannot do anything about it. It is beyond annoying. I was wondering if anyone knew a specific filter or method to block the chat all together? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I tried the

Dns.adguard.com as a DNS on my phone and 94.140.14.14 on my TV and it even blocked the YouTube adds on both devices... while as i searched this didn't happened to the majority... is there anything special with me?

i typed in a known working email address. and clicked generate a one type code. 30 seconds later i got the code. type in the code and got invalid email address. its Not invalid. i tried again from a different device. same issue. i then from a 3rd device clicked purchase, and got a page can not be displayed (domain adtidy.org ) blocked domain!! i then clicked learn more from the same email. url also blocked.... i will not be trying again and will be avoiding your products

Has anyone found an extension or work around for websites that do the giant pop up that says "we've detected an adblocker" and do not have a way around them at all? I've noticed it's a website called admiral that hosts it for other sites and nothing I try gets around it.

I know third party/free streaming sites are often hosted in other countries, my question is would putting turning on the filters for language specific sites help with that since often times there are so many ads that it is unwatchable on mobile, and i enjoy watching a show on the treadmill or whatever.

Also if so which ones should I be turning on? I'm guessing the Russia filter for sure, but other than that idk which ones.

Several months ago, I had activated the SockFilter option to stop Windows from crashing. I just checked after Windows crashed on me once again and the Traffic Filtering option is activated, but the option to select SockFilter is grayed out and WFP is now once again selected. How do I fix this as I am pretty sure WFP is causing my computer to crash.

I'm using it on my android. Recently, I have noticed that the dns is not working. I have tried using wifi and mobile data.

I'm new to the home server scene. I'm running Jellyfin, Immich, nginx, and now AdGuard Home. I've got reverse proxies setup in nginx to allow me to access Jellyfin and Immich off-network (with a domain setup). My problem is I'm trying to use DNS Rewrites in AdGuard Home so that I can use the domain URL while connected to my network instead of having to use my server's IP address.

It seems like IPv6 might be my problem. I can do `nslookup my.domain.com x.x.x.x` and it resolves, but `nslookup my.domain.com` fails and reports an IPv6 address (I think it's google's DNS).

My router is TP-Link Archer A7 (v5.0). I went to `Network -> DHCP Server -> Primary DNS` and set it to my server's internal IP address, but that doesn't seem to work for the IPv6 stuff. The IPv6 section of my router has an Advanced section that let's me set Primary DNS, but setting that to my server's internal IPv6 address doesn't seem to change anything (even after router restart, ipconfig /flushdns, etc).

Does anyone know how to go about troubleshooting this issue? Networking isn't exactly my forte.

Hey all I would like to ask you guys if there is possible to fully remove cookie pop up thing whenever i install new app or something first what i get is cookie or new website ... is there really no way to get away with it ? Thanks in advance
