7.10.0

Disclaimer AdGuard for Windows is not an open-source project. We use Github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

Summer is finally here — the time of new experiences, bright moments and new achievements. We’ve decided to burst into summer with a new release of AdGuard v7.10 for Windows — and that means that positive changes are waiting for you already now!One of the most important changes in this version was the addition of the “Protect from DPI” feature.

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

The Deep Packet Inspection is a system of deep analysis and filtering of traffic by packet content, as well as the accumulation of statistical data. Using this technology, ISPs have the ability to control the passing traffic and limit access to 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 get access to the content they want. However, not all DPI systems can be bypassed yet - we are still working on it.

[Enhancement] WFP and TDI network drivers

We've updated and enhanced our network drivers. This improved the app efficiency and compatibility with other software. Besides, we fixed some bugs in the WFP driver.

[Enhancement] Added dark theme to the updater window #4156

A small but very nice change — we added dark theme to the updater window. Now dark theme fans won't be annoyed by light update windows — a real joy for perfectionists!

In this release we also paid attention to the DNS functionality — we improved the app reaction to changes in the system DNS addresses. Now the risk of incompatibility with other network applications that use their own DNS servers is much lower. As always, we changed, fixed and improved a lot and also updated Corelibs and DNSlibs. All the changes are listed below.
​

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 :)

7.10 beta 1

Disclaimer AdGuard for Windows is not an open-source project. We use Github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

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.

• [Fixed] Filter subscription is downloaded partially within the update #4165

7.9

Disclaimer AdGuard for Windows is not an open-source project. We use Github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

Now we know that we can create suspense no worse than Hitchcock: since the last release, we’ve presented three versions of the app (one beta version and two release candidates). But enough is enough! Meet AdGuard 7.9 for Windows, the release we've all been waiting for. Let's list the major innovations and benefits of this version so you can savor them.

Let's start with the fact that we have worked hard on improving the performance of the application as well as its user interface. Now you'll enjoy interacting with AdGuard for Windows even more. We've also improved the advanced DNS settings by adding a bootstrap option. Don't want to use the system DNS resolver as a bootstrap? You don't have to! Now you can specify IP addresses of the DNS servers that are used to determine the address of the encrypted DNS servers.

What else? We fixed tons of bugs of different severity, including the problem with auto-activation of language filters. As a result, AdGuard's stability is improved now. Of course we couldn't avoid updating CoreLibs and DNSLibs. That's all, folks! We hope you’ll enjoy the new version of AdGuard for Windows.
