AdGuard Home interfere with HACS

Hi,

I configured adGuard Home in my server setup but after two days running I experienced that it interferes with my home assistant settings.
It will track HACS and will block any attempts from the source to download or update.
While it does not stop from notify me for the updates, it will block any attempt to install them.

One: Great, it is finding out that for some reason HACS has some security issues.
Two: I could then choose to manually update those with security issues or not.

Anyway, I removed just for now but I was wondering if there is someone that has had this issue before.

Ad-guard is a dns server that blocks access to addresses. The list of addresses is provided by you. If you want it blocking GitHub, fine. If you don’t, then change it.
There is no more security problem with GitHub than a URL for a newspaper or YouTube.

Also if you have no idea what software is for or does, you shouldn’t be using it.

(EDITORIAL) Ad-guard has nothing to do with security, it provides you control over what you are allowed to see and what you are not, IE personal censorship. It is mostly used to block porn sites when young minds are using the access, but it also is there to prevent content creators from being paid for their work in case you want to do that. No security involved, really. If used in conjunction with other software it can control what outside dns server you use, but so can any router on the planet. This is my opinion, and it may not be shared by everyone.

Yeah, stomped by the “lecturer” or maybe internet etymology: “person that believes is better that the others”.

@Sir_Goodenough there are many ways to learn and the simple action of trying something can lead to learning. I choose to post my findings because it is a good way to learn by the feedback of others that can better that I could at that moment. No shame or pride on that😀, the only thing i know when posting is that i am having some issue because most likely i have not understood the basic. Fine.
Your comment is relevant, but it is ruined with the dis-encouraging phrase.
Try the humble path next time.
A community is full of individuals with different backgrounds, needs, daily commitments, and rather or not experts in the/all topics we are trying to be better or learn of our mistakes.

About using adguard in docker container, it is still down. I messed so much with it at the point that messing around i fuckup with my server configuration. Unfortunately, i have not find time to fix it, so everything important is running in my backup machine, which is fine when real life commitments strikes.

Thanks for your reply, try to encourage instead others.

The intent was not to be disparaging, it was meant to motivate.
My advice still is if you don’t understand it and it is a critical link in your system that you have to maintain, then you will need to understand it. Certainly something passing your DNS calls is critical.
I added the editorial tag there to make sure you didn’t think I was talking about you, rather the software itself. I don’t understand how that thing works exactly either, I just know what the blackbox does in the real world.

So again sorry if you felt bad or something here, the point is figure out what it is doing and how to maintain it before you are using it and breaks your whole set-up is the point.
