Comment

After enabling Filter rule - HaGeZ's Encrypted DNS/VPN/TOR/Proxy Bypass, I noticed that Adguard DNS and Adblocker were failing to block websites that should be blocked, and were blocking websites that shouldn't be blocked. Upon investigation, I noticed that it was because the filter was blocking adguard-dns.io and adguard-dns.com which presumably rendered Adguard's DNS useless. I manually unblocked those two domains only to find out later that it was not blocking adguard-vpn.com as well, thus rendering Adguard VPN useless? I want to use the filter to prevent methods to bypass my personal Adguard DNS and VPN but not to block them as well. It seems counterproductive to use this filter in Adguard only to block itself.

We will unblock it on our side. But this behavior is expected for this filter.
