Local domains don’t resolve when AdGuard is enabled
When DNS protection is enabled, AdGuard uses its own DNS module to resolve domain names. In some cases, this may prevent local domains (such as router, printer, or internal network addresses) from resolving correctly.
To fix this, you can exclude these domains from AdGuard DNS filtering so they are resolved by the system instead.
To do this:
Click the AdGuard icon in the menu bar.
Open Settings (gear icon) → Advanced → Advanced Settings.
Find the option
network.extension.exclude.domains.Add the local domains you want to exclude (for example: local, intranet.local, etc.).
