dcs18 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 On 3/3/2018 at 8:22 AM, k2a said: Hi dcs18 please tell me why use Adguard, Eset Expand I've used most of the ad. blockers and have now settled for AdGuard after a lot (more than a year) of convincing from Undertaker — and, it has been worth every bit. For me, AdGuard has the capability to block domains and IPs, as well and also able to get around ARP spoofing and cache poisoning . . . meaning — it is more effective than even (most) firewalls and therefore can prevent Internet Download Manager (IDM) from calling home. Moreover, AdGuard blocks programs & apps. (apart from all browsers) — this saves a lot of my time & effort since the same (Windows) rules are then redesigned to work on my Android AdGuard, as well. The blocking of AdGuard is most certainly quicker and earlier than other ad. blockers. AdGuard also ships with Parental Control whereby SysAdmins can password-protect the program in order to prevent Clients from making any sort of changes. Apart from the above major reasons, there are many other little features which make it the leading ad. blocker, for example — it actually displaced 4-5 add-ons, for me. As far as ESET is concerned, I started using it many years ago as a beta-tester (largely due to its lighter footprint) — however, it has lost relevance (for me) and the only purpose it serves on my own system is as a re-deployment to Clients.

Undertaker Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 There are a few things you need to double check:- - Https filtering is enabled and working. -Try switching b/w drivers(TDI and WFP) and restart system. -Make sure the filter list is supported. -Try manually adding the hosts rule(after modification) and not as an import list and check if it works. -Mention the filter list you are using for spotify, or better, provide the link to it. -If your app is installed in a custom location, browse it manually to filter apps.

In the meantime, you can manually configure the list, just have to remove the 127.0.0.1<space>, easy to do in notepad++ Hosts is never the preferred mode.
