AdGuard

Thu Dec 26, 2019 7:20 am

Hi

Does anyone know how to get HA and AdGuard ( the program,not the browser extension) to play together? When I first installed AdGuard it worked great then,something went wrong and stopped working. Started screwing around with things so I lost track of all I did but, I swear HA had been connected when AdGuard first ran. However, it now only works with HA disconnected. Will they even work together?

Thanks

Win 10
AdGuard 7.3
HA 4.43

Hi there

Adguard and HideAway uses the same device driver and Adguard modified theirs so it didn't play nicely. This was a while back, and it looks like Adguard got a fix out for that by version 7.2.2936.0, so we'd need to do the same with HideAway. We've been a bit reluctant to update it until all/most Adguard users updated their version.

Do they screw with that driver with every update?

Hopefully not. We'll just need to update ours and they should work together properly

You guys should look into adding some serious ad blocking to your service. Would it be difficult to incorporate Ublock origin into HA? The market should be there once Google kills ad blocking extensions with Manifest V3.
