    Excellent - that did the trick, you are a genius!
    Although I already knew that with your work with Excubits and other stuff :)

    You too!
    Just wondering if your solution, or reinstalling certificate in General Settings would help @djg05 here.

    @avatar I have come across a situation with a cable gateway device in which Adguard is blocking the retrieval of specific information from the device. I've been able to reproduce everytime simply by disabling/enabling Adguard. The device is located on the LAN at the typical IP of 192.168.100.1 and therefore I was a bit surprised that Adguard would be filtering local traffic. What should I do in this circumstance?

    @WildByDesign of course AG filters LAN, otherwise we wouldn't work normally when you use a proxy server located somewhere in the LAN.

    Does it help to unblock all requests to that device with a filter rule like that?
    Code:
    @@||192.168.100.1^
    If it does not then I may need more details on how this error looks like.

    @avatar Thank you for your response and also the filter rule suggestion. I am troubleshooting this issue right now and will detail the steps that I have taken so far. At the moment, I am quite puzzled with this.

    • Affecting both Chromium and Firefox
    • Tried the following filter rules together:
    Code:
    @@||192.168.100.1^
    @@||192.168.100.2^
    @@||192.168.0.5^
    • Tried disabling Adguard pop-up blocker extension (just to rule things out)
    • Enabled Adguard's Debug filtering level
    • Adguard filter log shows zero Blocked events
    • Chromium's Developer Tools - Network shows no blocked events
    • Chromium's Dev Tools - Network shows error that states "f*#kAdblock"
    • Cable modem is Hitron CGN3 (this is interface that is affected by Adguard)
    • Router is OpenWrt (not affected by Adguard)

    Anyway, that is the extent of my troubleshooting thus far. I still have to disable Adguard to view all of the information on the Modem's interface. Previously, I have had no problems viewing the Modem's interface in it's entirety, so I assume something has changed in Adguard default filters within the past few weeks but I am having trouble pin-pointing this issue. Please advise if you have any other suggestions to try. Thank you for your time. :)

    When the iOS System Wide blocker is released will it be included in my licenses I already bought or will I have to buy it again on the apple app store ?

    Thanks for your thought. I tried that and initially Cyberfox is looking for *.p12, *.pfx, but changing to *.cer brought up "Adguard Personal CA.cer". However that brought up the following popup which I do not understand. Can anyone help please.

    Thanks. Always forget about that, however on this occasion it makes no difference. I am assuming that you mean run Cyberfox outside SBIE

    @WildByDesign looks like some kind of a compatibility issue.
    We had some issues with routers before, maybe we have some issue with your type of cable modem. You see, they often use some very old servers implementing HTTP or even TCP in a weird way causing some troubles.

    For further troubleshooting I need Adguard logs (so it's better to move this discussion to PM).
    How to get the logs:
    1. Switch Adguard's logging level to "Debug" through tray menu
    2. Reproduce the issue
    3. Archive the log files: %programdata%\Adguard\Logs

    Also I need to know:
    1. Which exact resource were you requesting?
    2. How did the error look like? Screenshot or video will help.
    3. Export a HAR file from Chrome developer tools

    I am not yet sure about it. I heard that Apple has a strict policy on this, however, I saw once an app allowing activation with a license key.
    So, basically, we'll do it if it is allowed by Apple.

    This task is always open, we merge new entries before every major release.

    For now, yes.

    Hate ads enough to buy this for both my Android 6.0 and Windows 10 device. Works perfectly fine (except a minor incident when migrating my collection to Google Play Music).

    Sure I could stick to HOSTS file on either, but this is a much more elegant solution. I stopped rooting my Nexus 5 cause of all the OTA updates and lack of real use anyhow.

    Thanks:)

    In fact I am surprised that hosts way of blocking still alive as it is really easy to overcome (for instance like what Facebook ad network does - use a legitimate domain for both ads and fb content).

    I am having a problem loading Google/Youtube in Cyberfox. This only happens if I load Adguard (paid).

    I have manually loaded the Adguard certificate into Cyberfox but makes no difference.

    Can someone assist please.

    @djg05 I can take a look through the remote access, just send me a PM if you're ok with this.

    @djg05 - did you make an exception via browser, or did you re-install certificate via AG?

    Browser Leaks - Proxy

    Is there any way, maybe for a future release, to hide presence of AdGuard? eg: so the above site or related sites cannot detect it's installation?

    Here is the original post that triggered my request.

    Thanks for the new Chrome extension Stealth Mode.:thumb:

    Question: it does not seem to block WebRTC IP, while options mention a block IP. Could you explain?

    Thanks

    Kees

    upload_2016-6-22_15-16-31.png

    My wishlist for Stealth Mode: option to enable two Chrome switches:

    Disable hyperlink auditing
    Disable reading from canvas

    Choice to reduce referrer header granularity (also new Chrome option which does not break sites as far as I know) or to block referrer for third party
