Is the parental DNS active even if I don't activate the secure search?
1 project | /r/Adguard | 31 Jan 2022

Parental Control, when the sensitivity isn't disabled, hash the domain and then request a list of domains matching the partial hash. This way not even AdGuard's parental control web service knows the exact domain you're visiting.

AdGuard VPN issues?

My bad ! I meant to say you can't have DNS level protection for free anymore... And I was wrong as well. I was looking for it on the App Store where you can find all other Adguard software. Turns out you have to get it from GitHub (https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForMac). I wonder why it's not open sourced and not not the App Store...
