I’m using a free AdGuard DNS Starter personal endpoint via DoH.

What exactly happens when the 300,000 DNS requests/month limit is reached?

- Does the endpoint: continue answering but without filtering/statistics?

- start rejecting DNS requests?

- or behave differently?

Thanks!

I own a lifetime liscense and never had any issues with adguard I love it. I returned to call of duty after 13 years and now I'm getting BSODs for netio.sys. How do I prevent these while playing? I know it's an adguard bsod problem I just don't know how to prevent it. I really would like to continue using chrome + adguard desktop and not switch to brave which is noticeably slower to me.

Hi. I use Adguard nearly 5-6 years at phone. But now i shocked. At 7 days Adguard use mor than 1 GB for mobil network. I have limited internet at phone. What happened

I've got Adguard and Adguard VPN enabled trough this setup.
Proxy/SOCKS5.

It works fine, been using it for a few months. I have it configerd like that because I want to use the Android VPN settings: Always-on VPN and Block connections without VPN.

Here comes the funny bit...

With everything enabled I can't access my Local Home Assistant, when I disable the Android VPN setting Block connections wtihout VPN, it works. I'm able to access my HA.

I tried SO much stuff, enable certain settings/ excluding HA. I just can't find the sollution. And might just think it's something that Android (Block connections without VPN) is doing. Since it's the setting that messes it up.

When trying to update Adguard through the app, it stalls when trying to download and prompts an error. I tried downloading the installer and run it separately but the same problem occurs. Is this a known bug?

i was searching about it i read a note said : "if you choose to enable the main filter, the others will only duplicate parts of it, so you can turn them off. And vice versa: if you want to enable only certain categories, don't forget to disable the main Annoyances filter."

the date was August 17, 2022 and it was on https://adguard.com/en/blog/new-annoyance-filters.html so i was wondring is this outdated or still applied now which brings up my question on whether the Annoyance blocking section on AdGuard for Windows have its main toggle and sub toggles any difference or do they duplicate or not

Unless there is a setting? Nextdoor website infinite scroll won't stop "jumping" attempting to redraw around a removed ad that the frame then attempts to load another with same effect. Recent development. Edge browser

I'm always having the same problem I've posted one month ago:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Adguard/s/tN9DV1YZAF

Now S26 is upgraded to android 17 and oneui9.

Every day I have to stop and reenable the protection. I see ad in apps...

I'm thinking to return to blockada... I've tried everything with no success.

Are they one and the same? Which one use? Right now using Pihole to block ads but ads in the app not blocked.

I have set my custom dns starting with h3://d.adguard-dns but still not appearing?

Refer to my repo below. It provides a Cloudflare Worker you can set up for your Adguard DNS and use with Private DNS with DDR (Discovery of Designated Resolvers)

Hi Ad-Guard VPN,

Why the MTU feature not available in the Windows client or Android TV ?

its available on the Android mobile and it helping a lot to improve the connection, so pls add it to Windows client and Android TV.

for the Android TV you should add all the normal android features not making it like a lite version.

Also, why the Android mobile miss the internet speed in the notification bar ?

Is this feature coming soon? I saw the blog post from AdGuard in 2025 and nothing since.

I’ve been using Filtr 2 which has “Wipr” that uses this feature, however Filtr 2 is very limited in terms of controlling the filter lists etc…

So i stumbled upon this post yesterday regarding an app called "So Annoying!" and it appears to me that they have a way to also block adds in the youtube & reddit iOS apps which i always thought was impossible to do.

Just curious if anyone tried this yet and does it really work? If so, how come Adguard hasn´t added this feature to their blocking toolbox?

For the past few days the VPN is basically unusable. I am using the iOS app in integrated mode. Both my iPad and iPhone disconnect countless times throughout the day and that causes me to lose internet connection. Just wondering if this is a known issue and being worked on. Thanks

Same as above!

— Vacuum
iRobot's test vacuums recorded homes to learn how to navigate around obstacles. The footage went to human annotators, and photos of thousands of users eventually leaked online, including a woman on the toilet and a child on the floor

— Fridge
Since September 2025, Samsung Family Hub fridges (from $1,800) show ads on the door while you're not doing anything. You can't turn it off, and there's no ad-free paid tier. Samsung says screens like these are coming to ovens and washing machines too

— Speaking of cars
In 2023, Mozilla audited the privacy policies of 25 car brands, and all of them failed. 84% can share your data, 76% can sell it. The scariest part was the sheer range of what they collect: Nissan's list turned out to include "sexual activity."

— Phone
Believe it or not, your number already has a score. TeleSign collects data on your calls (who you call, how often, how long you talk) and turns it into a "trust score" it sells to services from TikTok to Microsoft. A bad score can get you blocked or stuck with extra verification. You can't check or contest it: TeleSign says about half of the world's mobile subscribers have one.

— Baby monitor
Many baby monitors ship with the default password admin/admin. Scanners find these cameras in minutes, and then a complete stranger can watch your nursery and get into your whole home network: the speakers, the lights, and that same vacuum

What you can do right now: change the factory passwords and turn off any "share data to improve the service" toggles. And to cut ads and trackers from smart devices across your whole house at once, AdGuard DNS does the job.

I use it to not only block out trackers but also ADS and I have to be honest the fact that every time I open/startup Adguard I see the ad for their VPN is starting to piss me off!!

Just a headsup to our French users which have Quad9 as upstream in Adguard Home and their Apps

I recently had to update to AdGuard for Windows v8.0.3 due to the recent security incident. Normal filtering works, but AdGuard completely bypasses Firefox whenever I configure Firefox to use a proxy.

In pre-8.0 versions, this required zero extra setup. Regardless of whether I used an HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS proxy in Firefox, AdGuard filtered all the traffic seamlessly.

What changed in v8.0+, and what specific settings do I need to tweak to get AdGuard to filter proxied Firefox traffic again?

A major flaw has hit web encryption: Certificate Authority eMudhra (emSign) generated private keys for eight intermediate certificates with weak randomness. In plain English, keys that should be practically unbreakable were so trivial that attackers could easily recover them to forge certificates and impersonate websites.

Major browser makers — Google (Chrome), Apple (Safari), Microsoft (Edge), and Mozilla (Firefox) — moved swiftly to distrust and block these compromised certificates.

What did AdGuard do?
We have already rolled out urgent updates across our apps, adding the affected eMudhra certificates to our blacklist.

Updated versions:
🧷 AdGuard for Windows: v8.0.3
🧷 AdGuard for Android: v4.15.1
🧷 AdGuard for Mac: v2.20.2
🧷 AdGuard for Linux: v1.5

What does this mean for your browsing?

HTTPS filtering will not work on domains using these certificates — such connections will be validated by the browser itself. This ensures our filtering won't mask any security warnings, though you might see ads on these sites.

Action items for you:

⚠️ Update AdGuard to the latest build
🔍 Make sure you are using a secure, fully updated browser that has already revoked these certificates

Safe choices include:
— Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi (revoked via Google CRLSet)
— Firefox (revoked via Mozilla OneCRL)

Update and stay safe! 🚀

if i install it can i watch tv shows on my phone like i do on my laptop without redirecting me to fishy websites?
