AdGuard for Mac 2.14​

The AdGuard v2.14 for Mac features the usual bug-fixes-for-better-performance changes, but not only that! This time, the star of the show is the CoreLibs update, which brings improvements to the app overall, with two notable features in particular.

First up, we’ve fine-tuned the Encrypted ClientHello support. Yes, it’s still in the experimental phase, but our team has identified several issues that were holding back the seamless activation of ECH by default. With this release, we’ve addressed them and paved the way for enhanced performance.

Additionally, the updated CoreLibs now provide the ability to filter DNS-over-HTTPS requests on the fly. This means that AdGuard by default won’t redirect DoH queries to another DNS server, and instead queries will still be sent to the server chosen in the browser. The old behavior may be restored by turning off network.dns.filter.secure.request.transparently.enabled in the advanced settings.

This update also includes other minor changes. If you’d like to, feel free to dig into each one of them by reading our extensive changelog below.

AdGuard for Windows 7.17.1

In this patch, we’ve focused on addressing two critical issues. First, we have fixed a major bug that occurred in the filtering engine, CoreLibs. Second, after installing AdGuard v7.17 for Windows, the application would crash if you put the word in quotation marks in the Exclude app from filtering by entering the full path option. We’ve fixed it and also updated DnsLibs, along the way.

Changelog

Fixes

• Quotation marks in Exclude app from filtering option prevent AdGuard from working
  

CoreLibs (Filtering engine)

• CoreLibs updated to v1.14.53
  

DnsLibs (DNS filtering engine)

• DnsLibs updated to v2.5.19

AdGuard VPN for Windows 2.3​:

No questions about it, we are ready to release again! After flirting with betas and RCs, updating WFP and TDI drivers along with the VPN client, after hours of testing and practically illegal amounts of coffee, we are happy to present AdGuard VPN v2.3 for Windows. What do we have here?

Fast and secure​In this update, we have enhanced the app’s security and performance by adding support for DNS-over-HTTP/3. You can now include h3:// addresses for custom DNS servers, which will function over the HTTP/3 protocol. Quite handy, especially for unstable Wi-Fi networks.

If your app could talk​Troubleshooting just got easier with our new Diagnostic info section. This section provides valuable debugging details that you can share with our support team. To access it, head over to Settings → App settings→ Advanced settings→ Diagnostic info.

Beauty in ordinary things​What’s ordinary and natural for one, is not always easy to get for another: like a useful app in a native language. We are happy to have a community that helps us make AdGuard VPN even more accessible. Our app is now available in Swedish, Slovenian, Indonesian, Polish, and Ukrainian — how cool is that? We’ll be adding even more languages in future versions. If AdGuard VPN hasn’t been localized into your native language yet, come join the party — you’ll get some nifty gifties and a sense of achievement. And you can’t put a price on that.

• Added support for DNS-over-HTTP/3 #654
  
• Added new languages (sv, slv, pl, id, uk) to the app #650
