Overview
We do our best to make our software compatible with most products and services that are used in the corporate environment. However, some products are not compatible or may required additional configuration. Generally because they are trying to use the same system functionality that we require for operation.
Depending on your Adguard Ad Blocker configuration, the below resolution might resolve the Adguard installed application from preventing Twingate to operate as a transparent proxy for your DNS Twingate Resources.
Symptoms
When the Adguard client is active, Twingate DNS Resources will not resolve for connections.
