Briefly explain your current issue(s)
Adguard not blocking on Piratebay
Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful
check settings nothing has changed on adguard, Used ublock orgin and ublock extra no luck, and adblockplus worked.
Hello Guys, I have been using adguard for 6 months or so their windows app I love the software. Recently though a Site I use quite a bit PirateBay I use a pirate bay proxy soooo much faster than the actual url, whole bunch of popups, redirects is happening adguard does block some but it used to block all. I also have ublock orgin on my chrome I enabled it to see if it could block it did not. So I installed Adblock Plus and it block the ads with ease. Is there a setting they recently messed with or did piratebay figure a way around adguard ad blocking? Maybe a certain filter needs to be added or what not. Only settings I have changed on adblock plus when I installed was unchecked allow useful ads block additional tracking and block social media icons. I have all that check in adguard.

Thank you guys hopefully it is a setting or something I love adguard so much but if I have to switch back to adblockplus( used for years before adguard) Will do.

Make sure you have Adguard Popup Blocker in the latest version (2.2.3), AdguardTeam/PopupBlocker

As for ads, you just need to get the right filters, my filters block all the ads in that website.

I used it on the piratebay.org it was the same. I added the filters you have enabled and it has blocked everything on the proxy piratebay.

Thank you sooooo much didn't think of adding those filters I feel dumb now.
