@dcs18 Can you give me two screenshots of the result from following commands:

 

nslookup google.com

ipconfig /all

 

Make sure your dnscrypt is enabled and working. The first one may require you to provide additional net connectivity. w.r.t the second one, just show the adapter for which you have enabled dnscrypt and you can hide all other details - just show the 'dns server' entries in that command.

Spotify:

 

Whitelist: spclient.wg.spotify.com this domain is now used both for ads, and for content, giving you the error message no connection detected.

 

Using PiHole Whitelist that domain, as you cannot use wildcards into PiHole, ads and content are now on same domain spclient.wg.spotify.com

 

Using AdGuard for Android: you can also obtain a similar result, enabling dns filtering for AdGuard for Android.

 

Anyway, the new .apk include a new NXDOMAIN "=" that cannot be blocked, and that seems related to this new mechanism...

Any changes in the disk usage? Sudden spike or something like that when using?

 

@dcs18 You still use firemin? How's it playing out in your PC?

Apparently, there is a little difference between the both (uMatrix_Legacy_v1.1.4 and uMatrix_WebExtension_v1.3.3Beta8). Because after the installation, the request are still coming from the same website (googlevideo.com) but now it isn't the same column (media has been replace by xhr).

 

This is what I was saying. And even by allowing xhr requests from googlevideo, I receive no ads.

But then again, it maybe a geo thing like said before.

" Block IP Ranges in AdGuard "

(By using RegEx rules)

 

 

Caution Note:

   RegEx filter rules are comparitively slow by nature. So, if your IP range is small it is always better to use individual IP-blocking rules.

 

How to convert IP range into RegEx:

  • Learn it. :lol:
  • Go to this site: http://www.analyticsmarket.com/freetools/ipregex
  • Enter the first IP of your IP range and enter the last IP of your IP range and click 'Generate RegEX'.
  • Copy the rule. (It requires modification before it can be used in AdGuard).

 

The Procedure:

  • Modifying the RegEx rule:-

 

1) For simplicity sake, let's say that the RegEx rule that you got from the above step looks like:-

^169\.55\.0\.(2(2[4-7]))$

 

2) Now you need to add the backward slash (/), at the beginning(before ^ sign) and at the end(before the $ sign) of the RegEx rule.

    So, the modified rule will now look like this:-

/^169\.55\.0\.(2(2[4-7]))/$

 

3) And now for use with AdGuard just add the network modifier to your rule, this is mandatory. You can also use other modifiers like important or app.

    So, the final rule will look like this:-

/^169\.55\.0\.(2(2[4-7]))/$network

 

Proof Of Concept:

Ok thanx for the feedback, looks like it is indeed playing out nicely for you.

Since that is not such a considerable disk usage. My CPU and disk usage went through roof while using it. :lol:

Maybe I'll give it another try in some time unless someone comes first with the counterargument.

I'd be interested to see how Firemin pans out, on your new (higher-end) laptop.

I'm interested just for the purpose of testing.

Even with Firefox using 1GB alongwith the rest of the system processes, it's not even consuming 25% memory.

1) On any site, when using the Filtering on this website on the AdGuard Assistant to disable AdGuard does the green checkmark turn red?

 

2) If the AdGuard Assistant used again (on the same site) this time, to enable AdGuard — does it succeed in enabling AdGuard (meaning — is it able to remove/delete the rule created at point # 1)

You seem to be using an older version of Assistant(cue - checkmark). I'm on v4.1.7. However, it was working fine before also for me.

Nah, it's the latest 4.0.16 — you must be referring to the development build.

 

Started seeing the new behavior after a brief test of the Nightly 6.3.671.2617 .

Oh, I use the beta version which is currently the same as stable version but yeah the AG userscripts get the beta updates.

Frankly, don't think the AG nightly is yet at a level to be used even by enthusiasts.

Also haven't you set to receive beta updates in general settings?

Nope, my copy (as y'all know) was just recently rebuilt from scratch — only working my way upwards.
