AdGuard Home v0.99.0
It took us a while to publish a new release of AdGuard Home... 😴
The good news is, it may take you even longer to read through the changelog, that's how many improvements there are in this update! So we'd better kick things off asap.
Login page
Do you know the two most important pieces of advice for dating? 🤔
- Be attractive.
- Don't be unattractive.
Turns out, they are applicable to software development as well! Finally, we have a beautiful login page instead of the ugly standard browser authentication window. HTTP basic auth is still around and will be useful for those who are using our API (yes, we have an API! Didn't you know?).
Whois data for the DNS clients
There's never too much data. You can now see more information about your DNS server clients. AdGuard Home gets country and the organization name from the whois data on the client IP.
Please note that this feature makes sense only for those who run AdGuard Home on a VPS.
Canary domain for Firefox: #988
Mozilla is going to make a questionable move and enable Cloudflare DNS for all Firefox 🦊 users from the US by default. We're not saying Cloudflare DNS is bad, but it's obvious to us that people should be able to choose what they want when it comes to DNS providers. Fortunately, there's an option to opt-out by blocking a special "canary" domain, and that's what AdGuard Home does.
Rework of the statistics screen and the query log: #415 #776
AdGuard Home had always been storing statistics and the query log just for the last 24 hours. It had been due to some implementation peculiarities, and certainly not because we were too lazy to undertake such a serious rework, no-no. 🙅 Long story short, it's much different now. See:
You can not only choose the query logs retention period in the settings; it's now possible to disable or clear it right from there.
You can also change the statistics retention period or clear statistics separately.
Also, we conducted small research, and it clearly tells that the most interesting events usually lie between requests 5001-10000. So the query log is no more limited to the last 5000 records!
Using the certificate & private key from a file instead of copy/pasting it: #634
You too are tired of replacing the 'c' and 'v' letters on your keyboard due to the amount of copy/pasting it takes every time when the certificate is renewed? 🤬 Not any longer, simply specify the path to the cert & the private key once and forget about it.
