Access Logs

View internet access logs. The private service provides a 24-hour network access log query.

Access Logs

Blocking Logs

View blocking logs to understand which ads are blocked and which websites are blocked.

Blocking Logs

Statistics

The private service provides 24-hour network access statistics to understand user internet habits.

Statistics will show which websites are visited the most and which websites are blocked the most.

Statistics

Custom Rules

Create custom rules within the private service to block ads from commonly used applications or allow websites that are not considered ads by the user.

Users may need to view access logs to observe website query records when launching specific applications, in order to add custom rules.

Custom Rules

Whitelist Mode

If you need to avoid blocking certain types of websites, you can set whitelist mode, allowing access only to specific websites.

The whitelist has a higher priority than the blacklist; if a website is on the whitelist, it will not be blocked. Users can add commonly used websites to the whitelist to avoid accidental blocking.

Whitelist Mode

Authoritative Resolution

Supports adding authoritative resolution for devices within a company or home, resolving specified names to the IP addresses of home devices, eliminating the need to remember IP addresses.

Users do not need to purchase a domain name or register; they only need to add authoritative resolution rules within the private service.

Authoritative Resolution

2 - Advanced Features

This section will introduce some advanced techniques for using private services.

2.1 - Blocked Applications List

It is important to avoid confusion: blacklists are typically used to block ads, privacy intrusions, malware, etc., while the Blocked Applications List is used to completely block the use of specified applications.

This is often used in conjunction with a schedule for personal habit formation to prevent addiction. It is commonly used for habit formation in minors, for example: prohibiting the use of social media and games during study time. It can also be used for self-discipline in adults, for example: prohibiting the use of social media and games during work hours.

This service pre-configures some rules based on popular applications in various countries. Due to changes in popular culture and business developments, these lists may become outdated, but we are committed to ongoing maintenance.

If you find that an application on the list is not fully blocked, or if you need to add a recently popular application, please contact us, and we will address it promptly.

2.2 - DNS Split Configuration Guide

A detailed guide on how to optimize network access experience through DNS split configuration, including domestic and international DNS server setup guides and split rule settings.

DNS Split Overview

DNS split can significantly enhance the network access experience by distributing resolution requests for different domain names to different DNS servers. A reasonable DNS split configuration can:

  • Speed up domain name resolution
  • Improve website access stability
  • Optimize cross-border access experience
  • Avoid DNS pollution issues

Adguard Private Split Configuration

Configuration Recommendations

  1. Prioritize nearby DNS servers
  2. Configure both IPv4 and IPv6 DNS
  3. Set up backup DNS for important domains
  4. Regularly update split rules
  5. Monitor DNS response time

Precautions

  • Record original DNS settings before configuration
  • Avoid using untrusted DNS servers
  • Regularly check if DNS resolution is normal
  • Keep the rule list concise and effective

By reasonably configuring DNS split, you can significantly enhance the network access experience. It is recommended to choose appropriate DNS servers and split rules based on actual needs.
