AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows v7.12.0-rc on GitHub

Disclaimer AdGuard for Windows is not an open-source project. We use Github as an open bug tracker for users to see what developers are working on.

This release candidate outlines important changes that will soon appear in the release. One of them is that protection gets enabled and disabled faster. Another one is that DNS protection is now enabled by default.

DNS protection is enabled by default

Now, if you have just installed AdGuard, DNS protection is automatically turned on. By default the ISP's DNS server is used, and for security, AdGuard DNS filter is enabled: ads, trackers, and requests for malicious domains will be automatically blocked. You can always select a DNS-server from the list or add a custom one via Settings > DNS-protection.

We’ve also fixed some bugs and updated CoreLibs and DnsLibs.
