Hi fellow Adguard / Flint2 user,
I recently bought a Flint2 router and I'm in the process of setting up AdGuard Home.
Normally, I use the browser adblocker and switch to a private window to make sure cashback sites track properly.
My question is: will AdGuard block cashback tracking? If so, is there a whitelist I can use?
Also, on a side note—what’s your go-to blocklist?
Thanks.
Pi-hole is not a blocklist. It is the blocking application.
I have not had any issues with cashback tracking.
I use AdGuardDNS on my home router and on each mobile device.
I have a few blocklists (11, to be precise). I'm sure some are duplicates and occasionally get false-positives, but I have a totally ad-free internet experience.
good to know. Thanks.
Oh is adguard block ads on youtube and other videos sites if we accidentally press on the ad?
for a desktop PC, my suggestion is as follows. there is no need to stuff around with whitelists for your local adblocking DNS server.
create a dedicated firefox profiles for each cashback site, so that no other extensions or sites interfere with your clicks. only use when purchasing via a cashback site
configure firefox to use "standard" tracking protection
configure firefox to always use DNS over HTTPS, so that firefox will bypass any local (adblocking) DNS servers
I have a similar setup to c64. I daily Firefox, but I use Edge for my cashback. I set the DNS to custom and set it to 1.1.1.1 so it bypasses my DNS filtering.
At a network level, I use and recommend Hagezi's Pro and TIF lists.
This is what I am looking for. Thanks.
Just 1 of this list? Or do you run multiple?
"Multi Pro" is the recommended list. You need the Adblock version.
