Adguard Problem

[VaZ]

Anyone else experience AdGuard not working system wide all of a sudden a few days ago? On about 6 of my OSX installations it just stopped loading at startup and presents me with a crash error.

No issues here, running AdGuard 2.17.0.1955 nightly.

Hmm mine is version 2.9.2 and 2.13. Maybe the certificates expired on mine? I'll try the latest version but not sure if that works on the older osx versions.

After installing the last version for Mojave 2.11, it still crashes after installation -

What's going on here ??

I discovered something even weirder..when internet is OFF Adguard works great. As soon as i enable internet from either wifi or ethernet or even hotspot from my iphone, it crashes

I have exactly the same problem. After coming back to home from Easter holidays, AdGuard/Mojave did not work any more.

I removed it and installed 'Adguard for Safari' from AppStore. It works techically - but does not remove ads! At least does not prevent all of them.

Before AfS I tried to remove all AdGuard related files and reinstalled AdGuard application (2.11) but the behaviour was the same - stopped working after Settings dialog. Deleted it and installed AfS.

Just got word back from the Adguard staff and this is what they said -
"We changed the metadata of the filters, which led to crashes on old versions. This should've been fixed a couple of hours ago. Please reboot your Mac, and restart the program, and check if that helped."

Lo and behold it works again !!

Works for me, too. Thanks to VaZ being active with AdGuard support.

Same problem here. Sometimes I start my Mac I see the error AdGuard not work.
