AdGuard for Windows Version 7.10 beta 1 (beta) from April 28, 2022​

Have you already enjoyed our latest release version 7.9.1? Then we're happy to tell you that there are even more important changes ahead — today we release our first beta of AdGuard 7.10 for Windows!

We've changed, fixed and improved a lot and also didn't forget to update Corelibs and DNSlibs.

We've added a new feature to AdGuard — Protect from DPI, and we hope you'll appreciate how much your online privacy has improved.

[Enhancement] Add an DPI-bypass option to AdGuard Stealth Mode #4175

Let’s see what Deep Packet Inspection is. Well, it is a system of deep analysis and filtering of traffic by packet content, as well as the accumulation of statistical data. In this way, internet service providers have the ability to control the passing traffic and thereby limit access to the content for their clients.

Now AdGuard can modify outgoing packet data so that the client does not fall under the DPI blocking criteria. This means that users can avoid blocking and get access to the content they want. However, not in all cases DPI-systems can be bypassed. We are actively trying to fix this.

Remember we promised a lot of updates? Here's another one!

[Enhancement] WFP and TDI network drivers

We've updated and enhanced our network drivers and this is a very important change. Drivers’ update improves the app efficiency and compatibility with other software. Besides, we have also fixed some bugs in the WFP driver.

Other changes, as always, are listed below.

Changelog​

• [Enhancement] Update CoreLibs to 1.9.67 #4237
• [Enhancement] Add "Unencrypted" icon for "Regular" DNS servers description in the DNS tab #4121
• [Fixed] Cosmetic rules are on filtering log when Ad Blocker is disabled #4185
• [Fixed] Crash on custom DNS address in Advanced Settings #4195
• [Fixed] DNS filters are not updated when ad blocker is turned off #4118
• [Fixed] Filter subscription is downloaded partially within the update #4165
• [Fixed] There is sound notification on Windows 10 while Enable sound notifications is disabled #4127

To me, AdGuard for Windows is severely flawed just by the fact that it makes you install a cert in your browser and effectively bypass all https. I know it needs to be done in order for it to be universal, but still. I don't understand how someone can be for security and privacy yet use a third party cert. Even if you trust them, that's asking a lot. Am thinking about this all wrong?

Nobody can't fully disagree as you said valid points, Adguard for Windows does replace HTTPS certificates in browsers. However, some users prefers this solution...
I personally using rather uBlock or Adguard browser extension. In general, we just inform about a lot of software updates here in the forums

AdGuard for Windows 7.10 beta 2

Here we're again, this time with the second beta of AdGuard v7.10 for Windows. It seems like we'll be able to introduce a new release version soon.

We added a dark theme to the updater window, which is probably the most exciting change on the list. Now dark theme fans won't be annoyed by light update windows — a real joy for perfectionists!

We have thoroughly worked on Ad Blocker and DNS filters, so now you can decide for yourself where and what filters to add. Selected filters will be responsible for filtering in the respective module. As usual, we fixed some minor bugs and updated CoreLibs.

Changelog

• [Enhancement] Updated CoreLibs to v.1.9.68 #4247
• [Enhancement] Added dark theme to the updater window #4156
• [Enhancement] Completed the description for WebRTC feature #4104
• [Fixed] The Protect from DPI status is not sent to ReportsWebApp #4248
• [Fixed] Cannot add the same rules to Ad Blocker and DNS filters simultaneously #4132
• [Fixed] Custom filters do not work after refreshing a web page #4170
• [Fixed] Browser Assistant is sensitive to the www prefix in the HTTPS Exceptions #4240
• [Fixed] Filter name is not transmitted when subscribing via filterlists.com #4193
• [Fixed] Correct the translation for the updater title #4154
• [Fixed] The label "trusted" is not visible if a filter has a long name #4126
• [Fixed] Overlapping text headers in the filtering log #4186

AdGuard for Windows 7.10 Release Candidate

We've done a lot of work, and very soon you will be able to see the result — the release version of AdGuard v7.10 for Windows is about to come out! In the meantime, take a look at our release candidate

In this update we paid attention to the work of the DNS, namely, we improved the reaction to the changes of the DNS in the system. Now there is much less chance of incompatibility with other network applications that use their own DNS server.

We also fixed a few bugs and, of course, updated the CoreLibs!

Changelog

• [Enhancement] Update CoreLibs to v.1.9.69 #4256
• [Fixed] The cross button in the password input window of the Parental Control does not work #4266

AdGuard for Windows 7.11 beta 1 released:

Today we’re releasing a beta version of AdGuard v7.11 for Windows. In addition to updating CoreLibs and DNSLibs, there are other improvements and fixes worthy of your attention. Check them out!

[Enhancement] Implemented filtering of DoH requests

The main thing in this version is the implementation of filtering encrypted DNS requests. What does it mean? Now DoH requests can be forwarded to AdGuard for further DNS filtering in the same way as plain DNS requests.

The first beta will also please the eye with the redesigned dialog windows. Hopefully, it will make it easier for users to perceive information.

AdGuard for Windows 7.12 RC​

Release date: January 19, 2023

This release candidate outlines important changes that will soon appear in the release. One of them is that protection gets enabled and disabled faster. Another one is that DNS protection is now enabled by default.

DNS protection is enabled by default​

Now, if you have just installed AdGuard, DNS protection is automatically turned on. By default the ISP's DNS server is used, and for security, AdGuard DNS filter is enabled: ads, trackers, and requests for malicious domains will be automatically blocked. You can always select a DNS-server from the list or add a custom one via Settings > DNS-protection.

We’ve also fixed some bugs and updated CoreLibs and DnsLibs.

---

Changelog​

Enhancement​

• DNS protection is enabled by default, the DNS server of the ISP is used #4534

Added​

• The option to filter traffic at system start-up without launching the app #4454
• PIX-LINK router/repeater domains to fallback domains #170

Fixed​

• AdGuard won't start with System DNS and no Internet connection 4569
• If “Blocked” is selected in the filtering log, all requests are shown #4525
• The app doesn't update automatically in the background in Windows 7(finalized) #4494
• Unable to install userscripts that include @ in the link #4397
• Metadata updating error for HaGeZi DynDNS Blocklist #4475
• Filtering and userscripts do not work with Norton 360 installed #1712

Updated​

AdGuard for Windows 7.13 beta 1​

Release date: March 7, 2023

There are many changes and bug fixes in this update, but first we would like to draw your attention to a bunch of new features implemented in the Advanced settings.

We’ve added as many as 17 features which can be divided into 6 groups:

• Anti DPI options allow low level modifications to be made to packets during filtering to avoid deep packet inspection
• Keep alive settings allow to configure settings to work with keep-alive connections
• Filtering exclusion settings allow excluding both Wi-Fi networks and particular subnets (specified in CIDR notation) from DNS filtering
• Application management option allows to enable filtering even if the app is not launched. The point is that in v7.12 we have changed the behavior of the AdGuardSvc.exe service so that when the service starts automatically once starting OS, it does not filter traffic but stays in a "waiting" state. But we’ve left the option to let AdGuard work "as before" by enabling this option
• DNS-related options allow to fine-tune the DNS settings
• Certificate security options allows checking websites and web services certificates by various criteria

What else? Aside from the regular CoreLibs and DnsLibs updates, we’ve updated WFP and TDI drivers and ExtendedCSS. We’ve also allowed to disable the Filter localhost advanced feature. But be aware that disabling this feature will prevent AdGuard Ad Blocker and AdGuard VPN from working simultaneously in compatibility mode.

Changelog​

Functionality​

• Added an option to disable DNS filtering on selected Wi-Fi networks #4578
• Added an option to disable the Filter localhost advanced setting if AdGuard VPN is also enabled #4586
• Implemented the newest TLD-to-locale mappings from the AdGuard Browser Extension repo #4620
• SafeVisit was added to the list of filtered applications #4618
• When the default settings for displaying queries in the Filtering log are changed, the filter icon is highlighted #4406
• Allowed the Ctrl+E combination to open the advanced filter editor of the currently selected DNS filter #4330
• AdGuard now backs up UI settings 4404
• Added an option to operate the dialog boxes using the Enter button#4526
• jsonprune, badfilter, removeheader and hls applied rules are displayed in the Filtering log #4536

Fixes​

• AdGuard hangs after resuming from hibernation #4565
• AdGuard does not automatically import CA for Firefox #4595
• AdGuard's certificate is not deleted from the system certificate store after removing the app #4610
• After the system starts, the message The app can't reach AdGuard servers appears #4590
• WCF communication breaks after resuming from hibernation #4551
• Imperfections in the installer's dark theme #4584
• The filter editor reopens instead of focusing once the filter editor button is clicked more than once #4619
• A DNS server or filter cannot be added via the Add to AdGuard button if Parental Control is enabled and a password is set #4272
• Not possible to exit the advanced DNS filter editor by clicking the Esc button #4329
• Once the DNS Filter Editor is opened, clicking the down arrow selects not the User rules section, but the filter below it. #4333
• The up/down arrow keys do not work correctly in the DNS Filter Editor after certain actions #4362
• When attempting to create a custom filter with already used name, a notification Error while processing the custom filter appears #4437
• If the filter rules editor is already open, clicking on the Edit button in the User rules will bring up a window for editing the previously opened filter #4438
• With filtering disabled for an app, the browser assistant continues working as if filtering was not disabled #4379
• Cannot add a new user rule via the plus icon or by clicking on an empty line 4519
• Incorrect behavior of the Disable protection for 30 seconds feature after on/off the protection #4535
• AdGuard doesn't filter the Craving Explorer browser #4544
• If you exit AdGuard and open settings from Assistant while the service is running, AdGuard won't open #4556

AdGuard for Windows 7.13 beta 2​

Release date: March 23, 2023

What time is it? It’s time for the second beta of AdGuard v7.13 for Windows! You won't see such a huge changelog here as you did in the first beta. Nevertheless, the changes made are good enough to draw your attention.

DNS protection is now enabled by default for both new and old users. Previously, this was done only for newcomers. Once you run AdGuard for Windows after a clean installation, DNS protection will be turned on with the system DNS server and AdGuard DNS filter enabled. The same occurs if you update the app with the DNS module disabled. But nothing will change if you update an installed app with the DNS module enabled and configured.

We’ve also made some bug fixes, updated CoreLibs and DnsLibs to improve the app’s performance.

Changelog​

Versions​

CoreLibs​

• Updated CoreLibs to v1.11.69 #4655
• HTTPS filtration breaks the trading.finam.ru website #1724
• The elearning.ual.pt website does not open with the Protect from DPI option enabled #4451

DnsLibs​

• Updated DnsLibs to v2.1.27 #4639

Scriplets​

• Updated Scriplets to v1.9.1
• Added a new m3u-prune scriptlet #277
• Added more possible values in the set-attr scriptlet #283
• Fixed compatibility for the noopcss redirect #299
• Improved adjust-setTimeout and adjust-setInterval scriptlets #262
• Improved json-prune scriptlet #282
• Fixed error in prevent-element-src-loading #270
