Do you know how that program works and what it does?

#

@edgy bane

edgy bane
#

Yes @unreal hamlet

amber marsh
#

What device are you using to test?

edgy bane
#

Desktop computer

#

Windows 11

#

You don't have to ping here, I just pinged you so you would see the thread.
It takes over your dns calls and everything you ask for has to be enabled in that program or it don't get thru. Everything...

edgy bane
#

I0've triend also on my iphone

edgy bane

#

So the lists of blocked things is very important

#

So you don't know that ir does, I was thinking that by your question...

edgy bane
#

If you want to do a call i'm avaiable

unreal hamlet
#

I only support in open chat

edgy bane
#

no problam man

unreal hamlet
#

Why do you want adguard?

#

What are you trying to accomplish?

#

Trying to set a goal here

edgy bane
#

to filter DNS requests from devices connected to my network and mainly block advertising

unreal hamlet
#

Blocking ads is not my favorite subject as a YT content creator, but that is the easier of the 2 goals. There are lists of major ad providers out that that you should use. When you do, anytime something your network tries to connect to those IP addresses/URL.s, adguard will stop it and you will see a broken screen and look at nothing.

edgy bane
#

i know

#

but not every request pass to dns

unreal hamlet
#

Filtering devices is that is messing you up. You have to create those lists based on the connections your devices are trying to make, one by one.

edgy bane
#

as i say before i've tried to se a custom rule that bloc the domani called example.org, but it doesent work

unreal hamlet
#

EVERY request goes thru DNS

edgy bane
unreal hamlet
#

Devices and products hav multiple paths to block their access out. The DNS code is written in a way to be redundant, and if blocked, try something else.

edgy bane
#

i dont understand

#

i set dns ip on my router dhcp server

#

I also tried to set the manual DNS on ipv6 based on the one provided by adguard and with ipv6 it works perfectly but with ipv4 it doesn't

unreal hamlet
#

What I am saying is using this to block ads, fine, the lists are available. Blocking your stuff from getting out involves you monitoring traffic and creating lists of addresses to block, so mor advanced.

#

The best way to block devices from getting out is firewall rules on a router. Then you can isolate the device completely, and only allow what you want to allow.

#

In the end, I don't think any of this is necessary

#

I do use a firewall.

amber marsh
#

Which browser do you use? Can you try nslookup example.com and nslookup example.com ipofadguardhere in the windows terminal?

edgy bane
#

the requests made from my PC arrive at the adguard dns but the sites that should be blocked like example.org are not blocked, if the dns is set to ipv4, while if set to ipv6 it works perfectly

edgy bane

i cant send photo here

unreal hamlet
#

I would just use ipv4 until that is mastered, then add ipv6. Don't pile on problems until the first problem is solved.

edgy bane
#

i will send tou to dm+

Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.

Image posting is blocked in most channels to discourage people from sharing text as images. Sharing text as images assumes that everybody sees the world as you do, which isn't the case. Some people are colour blind, or have visual impairment that means they can't make sense of an image of text.

edgy bane
#

okok

amber marsh
#

Indeed. Use the smallest "test case" with the least variables when troubleshooting.

edgy bane
amber marsh
#

That looks like it should.

edgy bane
#

?

#

it doesent work

Imgur is over capacity!
Oof.

edgy bane

#

Some devices and apps use DoT and so on rather than what you give them.

edgy bane
#

#

and i've setted the orrect dns ip on windos

#

also on my iphone

#

also on my android device

#

and it doesent work

#

ive setted manually the dns ip on devices

amber marsh
edgy bane
#

im using adguard

amber marsh
#

Doesn't matter.

edgy bane
#

oh oke

unreal hamlet
#

Ya same thing

edgy bane
#

sorry

unreal hamlet
#

This adguard sounds great, but only complicates your life. You make assumptions it's doing what you think it is because some ads are blocked but you really are guessing.

edgy bane
#

Does this have anything to do with it?

unreal hamlet
#

All though it can be carefully scripted to do more, I highly suggest you only use it as the ad blocker it was designed to be, or don't use it at all.

amber marsh

#

the problem isn't chrome beacuse in other browser doesen't work

unreal hamlet
#

If you have your block list off just a bit, it will just DNS around the block. I put that down as experts only. At work I had to punch holes thru a firewall to allow 1 application thru. Every time we ran the thing, it tried a different path to get there and was blocked. We ended up opening about 50 IP's to make it work most of the time. You are dealing with the same thing in reverse, so blocking something 100% of the time will mean something else on the network, like your browder till be blocked as well...

#

Look into pfSense or opnSense firewall router software if you want to keep your devices from calling home (firewall rules)

#

this is ifconfig on my homeassistant where is installed adguard home i use wlan0

amber marsh
#

Sorry I meant your windows PC.

edgy bane
#

no problem

amber marsh
#

I had a similar issue on android where it used IPv6 instead rather than my IPv4 DNS I gave it. Nowadays I just do something similar to what the article I linked described.

edgy bane
amber marsh
#

The issue seems to be that windows prefers IPv6 and your adguard has no such address.
I'm having a hard time reading that language, btw.

edgy bane
#

also on the iPhone but it doesn't work

#

sorry ahhah

#

is italian

#

@amber marsh if you want to do a call i'm avaiable as i can explain you and show it in live

amber marsh
#

I don't to "live" support like that.

edgy bane
#

I mean I'll show you a screen share haha

amber marsh
#

I still consider that live as it would take 100% of my undivided attention.

edgy bane
#

oh okey it was to avoid writing in chat

#

don't worry

#

what i can do?

amber marsh
#

Or google prefers ipv6 dns or similar.

edgy bane
#

I discovered that my router doesn't allow me to configure IPv6 DNS. If I disable ipv6 from the network card settings, leaving the ipv4 dns on the home assistant one, it works correctly, unfortunately the router does not give me the possibility to disable the ipv6 dns address even though the ipv6s are disabled and not assigned to my clients. I have already configured adguard (2 years ago) and everything worked normally on my home network, but currently no longer is there a way to downgrade the adguard version?

hey @edgy bane

#

i have been trying to DNS block some services for example netflix or amazon

#

on my phone they totally get blocked but on my pc i can normally go into them without problems

#

so i am not sure either on why this happens, would be interesting to know why

#

for example on some devices it works and some no

#

just tried on my mom’s mac and they get blocked both on safari and chrome
