AdGuard for Windows v7.22.4

Something new just landed in AdGuard for Windows v7.22.4: meet SockFilter! It’s our experimental network driver, built as a cleaner and more modern alternative to older solutions — and a much better fit for ad blocking.

When fully tested and implemented, SockFilter has the potential to offer better stability, smoother compatibility with VPNs and antivirus softwares, and lower risk of system crashes.

Help us test it

SockFilter is still experimental: it’s still far from perfect, and there may be bugs. That’s where you come in — the more people try it, the faster we can make it completely functional.

  • To test it, go to Settings → Network → Traffic filtering, enable traffic filtering, and select SockFilter (Experimental) from the list of available options
  • Notice anything odd? Switch back to WFP or TDI driver whenever you want, and please report the issue on GitHub.
