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 . . . . . I'm always looking at ways to improving ping times and practically everything else that can be improved.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

So, I'm at my best already? Default MTNL DNS = 11-12 ms ping Singapore DNcrypt with Acrylic DNS = 14ms And then it's just Adguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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.

dcs18 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Uninstalled it as I felt Adguard makes DNSCrypt redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since, I have limited my Adguard to filtering just the browser and an app, I felt the need for DNSSec for the system as a whole, that's all.

dcs18 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 So then, IDM is left filtered by DNSCrypt now or Adguard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 So, what do you use DNSCrypt for — in case, not for ping times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertaker Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Just now, dcs18 said: So, what do you use DNSCrypt for — in case, not for ping times? For DNSsec, crypting the DNS. Like I said not all of my traffic is concentrated to just the browser and IDM. I have net access to other programs as well.Thus providing security to those. p.s. Logging out,later.

Do you have some filter list like the basic one - English or only self-created filtered rules? I asked because I'm interested in knowing the purpose of this user apps filtering - Crypting or something else? Also for IDM have you created/added an exception rule given in the IDM-Adguard post or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 ATM, I'm obliged to use the English Filter until my deployment is 100% completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

dcs18 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Nope, never — on my own personal system, have streamlined most of my rules. This has been possible because my personal practice is to surf only within limited sites (unlike my Customers.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
