Re: Windows 10 Iso Download Adguard
Tonya Botsford
But when from a Windows computer on the lan (whose DNS domain suffix is lan.mycompany.com) I try make a name query for, say, www.google.com , it happens that the os resolver send to ADGuard a query for www.google.com.lan.mycompany.com and later www.google.com.mycompany.com .
In the DHCP, there should be a DNS Forwarder where it stores the Internet DNS IPs like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 such that if packets going beyond the local network, it will be forwarded to Google or ISP DNS to look
Why is windows dns server trying to resolve it? because that is defualt behavior. In most environments the dns server needs to resolve external dns. why does it think www.google.com.mycompany.com is external - simply because it does not have a local forward zone for mycompany.com so it will send it external.
I further investigated and I discovered the previous behavior is by design and called domain name devolution. Can be controlled in various way including PowerShell and Group Policy. Can be disabled for names including dots and also for names not including dots. The devolution level can be specificed.
Since i made no changes this week the only thing i could think of is that there were some change made in a filter nextdns...
I use the following filters:
- NextDNS
- AdGuard Mobile ads
- Oisd
- AdGuard Basse
Same issue here. From the Nextdns logs you I could tell it was easyprivacy blocking it, at least in my case. But checking the most recent easylist/easyprivacy list these wasnt on there. The fact that you're not using easyprivacy but adguard filters, it might suggest that nextdns made a mistake merging lists into their own?
Privacy protection is one of the main goals! Just enable the "Spyware and tracking filter" in AdGuard's settings. It completely removes all forms of tracking from the Internet. AdGuard has one of the largest tracker filters containing more than 5,000 rules. It is even larger than the databases of Ghostery and Disconnect.
We did a comprehensive research on cryptojacking, and as a result AdGuard can reliably block most of known crypto-jackers including CoinHive. You can also add some open source filters like NoCoin which will give you an additional layer of protection.

There are several ways of legally downloading Windows ARM64 images from the Microsoft servers: direct ESD file, UUP converter scripts and VHDX clone. We'll only be covering the first two below.
This is usually the easiest and fastest method. Both the Windows-only imager and worli v2.0 support flashing such images, but for the WoR-PE package (and wor-flasher) you need to use an UUP converter script instead.
Select the build of Windows:We've selected "Latest Public Release build" in the previous step. If multiple versions appear (like in the screenshot above), it's recommended to select the latest one. That is 19042.928 in our case.
If it fails, redownload the script and try again. In case this still doesn't solve the issue and you're not able to figure out the cause, you could try joining the UUPDump Discord server linked in the header of their website and asking for help there.Alternatively, you can try using -adguard.net instead. (Windows-only)
Especially in enterprise environments installing apps from Windows Store is turned off. One workaround is web site -adguard.net/ - courtesy of @rgadguard & mkuba50 - which can be used to download files related to a particular store app.
Just tested and this worked well much thanks!
Lines 22 and 23 are starting with a pipe to continue the previous line, this is supported in PowerShell 7 but not older versions. Quick fix is to move the pipe to end of previous line.
store.rg-adguard.net has blocked the ability to download anything using their parser since March. Also they enabled Cloudflare firewall. So download packages manually is the only thing we can now.
We found it out when realized that our SophiApp stopped downloading the HEVC codec. had to upload the packaged to the GitHub repo.
Spotify is a cool service, if you don't want ads, then it's $120 a year. Same with all services. And websites, we all absolutely agree ads are annoying and use network power. So if nobody is shown the ads, how do these websites pay costs? They just go away?
There is a slight problem, I blocked the domain of awsglobalaccelerator.com but Windows 11 still resolved it, even after flushing the DNS cache.
The pihole said the domain was blocked and I confirmed that with the ssh session user john in linux.
I then added the domain awsglobalaccelerator.com as a Wildcard and it was blocked on windows 11.
Why do you have ads on windows? I have blocked ALL ms domains on 10, nothing (to my knowledge) leaves my router until I press enter on a website in firefox. I block all mozilla domains too, to the point I had to let some through to use their relay service. Duck Duck Go also has a very similar service as well to strip email trackers.
I block all of mozilla domains that try to load even with all the checkboxes off in settings. I block netflix totally which auto-boots on my device until I want to use it. I love this pi-hole system, it's good peace of mind knowing what is happening on my network.
An example is I opened up everyone's favorite "Adobe" that's what people call it. It's their PDF program that makes connections when opened, who knows what for. Never would have noticed without a clean log of just domain entries.
This $ means "the end of the string", so this would only block a domain called msft or longer domains which end in .msft, and there aren't any. If the aim is to match any domain containing .msft then just create a regex entry consisting of msft and note that will also do the job of the two entries after it.
The * here means "0 or more of the preceeding token" which in this case is a period, and then it's followed by the $ end of the string. So this will match microsoft followed by 0 or more periods then the end. So it would match a .microsoft top level domain. If the aim is to block any domain containg microsoft then instead make a regex entry consisting of microsoft and note it will cover all other entries that contain the string microsoft.
Yeah, I know absolutely nothing about regular expressions. Could you help me understand what the \ are for, what the is for, and the ^ because it's another unknown language for me. None of it makes sense yet.
Some characters mean what they say, others have special meanings. Such as ^ matches the start of the string that you're testing, and $ matches the end of the string that you're testing. A period . means any character. The backslash \ means treat the next character literally, so \. means an actual period, whereas the period by itself means any character. The pipe means or, eg this or that, and it's usually inside brackets with the various options. The * means match zero or more of the preceeding thing.
That is saying "From the start of the domain (^) I'm looking for any character (.) any number of times including none at all (*) followed by star and then either trek or () wars followed by any character (.) any number of times including none at all (*) and then the end of the domain ($)"
You don't really need the last .*$ part because it's already matched, but I prefer to cover the whole domain where I can, from start ^ to end $ to be thorough. The first part covers something like a www before star or nothing at all before it.
Absolutely not! This blocks everything microsoft. when you would like to download updates, you may white list a few of the domains temporarily. They may be something like "delivery" or "update" or "distribution" etc, I don't know what each one does, but you only need a couple or so to download updates. The rest is coal-burning crap.
Hey all not sure it's right place to put this, or how to put in right place. But I thought I might share with you all how to get free network wide Adblocking here (since a lot of users seems to be paying for like adblock dns services) etc. Additionally a lot of users are nube like me who cannot get head around linux or dont have a raspberry pi etc.
