It became worse to block ads.

[fizsef]

Version 107.3 , OpenWRT 21.02.1 . Router Readme AC1200. Recently, ad blocking somehow works poorly. The filters are the same as before. All other settings have not changed either. But it blocks much worse than before. How to explain it, what is it connected with, can anyone suggest? Please help. Maybe someone will recommend good filters. Thanks.

Because AdGuardHome only works on DNS, many sites today bind ads or trackers to the main domain, which makes blocking them on DNS making their entire service unavailable to us.

Unlike AdGuardHome, which blocks ads on the DNS, tools like AdGuard Browser Extension or uBlock Origin that vet and process web requests are more capable and effective. Because they can see the details of each request, not just the domain.

But earlier, with the same filters and settings, I blocked better. Browser extensions are fine, but you need a centralized lock on the router so that all devices are protected from advertising.

Yes, that's why more and more sites are circumventing DNS-based ad blocking, because it usually works just fine. In fact, now they even detect request-based ad blocking and refuse to serve the user if detected.

By the way, this question should probably be moved to the discussion instead of the issue here.

@fizsef Hi. Sorry for the long silence! Is this issue still reproducible in the latest release?
