dcs18 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Exactly . . . . . . . when I started using Adguard the very first thing that struck me was that Adguard was stretching the ping times — that's understandable though, since it's injecting its own local JavaScript in order to audit the element blocks right at initiation.

dcs18 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Nah, not at all — my own ping times are already pretty good (yet . . . . .

dcs18 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Even though Adguard stretches the ping times, at the beginning of page loading — (in the end,) it more than makes-up on the loading time due to the most effective blocking.

dcs18 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Anyways, (as previously discussed) — latency is more important than the ping time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertaker Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yes that's why I paired it up with Acrylic, earlier when I was using DNScrypt alone, it was a problem(which was the major reason for me not adopting SimpleDNScrypt for IDM purposes) but not any more.

Expand Has none of the filter rule affected the downloading or access to net in those apps? For e.g. w.r.t. IDM, I know there is a filter in English filter which would block a download from a hosting site in IDM, that's why I had to create a exception. I could have created site specific exception also but when in general employment and use by others, I went for the safety approach. Who knows what more filters block download and in what sense.
