We recommend to switch to Automatic Proxy filtering mode when running AdGuard alongside with Little Snitch on Big Sur, at least until Apple fixes the bug. It needs to be said that this problem can't be solved by disabling connections monitoring in Little Snitch, because this action doesn't unload Little Snitch's extension from the system. This leaves us to believe that this issue will get resolved in one of the next updates. This problem is directly caused by a bug in Big Sur, and we've already informed Apple about it.

When both are running, there's a chance to encounter issues with various apps' behavior, even if they aren't filtered by AdGuard. Compatibility with Little Snitch 5 Īt this moment, Network Extension mode in AdGuard isn't compatible with Little Snitch 5. These problems have been fixed by Apple by now but can be encountered in the older versions of macOS Big Sur. However, if you're using a VPN-based app that was downloaded from outside App Store, there's a chance it uses the old VPN API and you have to exclude it from filtering:ĥ) Find the app you want to exclude and uncheck the checkbox next to it. VPN apps with legacy API ĭespite AdGuard is displayed as a VPN in system settings, it shouldn't cause any conflicts when working alongside other VPN-based apps. Meanwhile, you can use these temporary solutions:Ģ) Disable SIP and switch AdGuard to Kernel Extension mode as explained here. We have already reported this bug to Apple. If you use Flutter alongside AdGuard in "Network Extension" mode (or any other "Transparent Proxy"-type app) in Monterey or Big Sur, you will run into problems: projects won't open and Flutter will be effectively broken. But to fix it for applications developed in Flutter, you need to wait for updates. This problem is solved in Flutter 2.2, released in June 2021. You have to switch AdGuard to Automatic Proxy mode.

Compatibility with Cisco An圜onnect ĪdGuard will not work together with Cisco An圜onnect while in the Network Extension mode. These problems aren't fixed by Apple yet, or fixed only partially. Monterey 12, Big Sur 11.6 and later: currently existing problems

As it treats AdGuard as a VPN, it won't preload images automatically.Īt this point, we recommend using a more traditional VPN service, such as AdGuard VPN, instead of the new Apple's privacy features. However, it won't work if there's an active VPN connection. Note that enabling this setting will cause the problems described above.Ĭompatibility with Protect Mail Activity Īpple's Mail app now uses a proxy to hide a user's IP address when downloading images from emails. It can be done via Advanced Settings → .split.tunnel. You can prevent AdGuard from using the "default route" by disabling it. We recommend using AdGuard together with a more traditional VPN service such as AdGuard VPN. That's why by default, AdGuard uses the "default route" which disables iCloud Private Relay.įor a deeper understanding of this problem, read this article. Thus, AdGuard can't filter traffic or perform DNS filtering in Safari. When iCloud Private Relay is active, any filtering (including local filtering) becomes impossible. AdGuard has no ability to block ads because iCloud Private Relay encrypts traffic before AdGuard can filter network connections. Compatibility with iCloud Private Relay Ĭurrently, AdGuard and iCloud Private Relay cannot work at the same time. Monterey 12: currently existing problems In this article we go over the known issues specific to each macOS version and possible ways to solve them. But some of them, such as Network Extensions API (Big Sur) or iCloud Private Relay (Monterey), cause some problems to many applications, AdGuard not being an exception. Compatibility issues with different macOS versions Currently existing problems Įvery year Apple releases a new version of macOS, introducing innovative solutions and adding new useful features.
