I know many people are looking for a proper adblocking solution. I posted a trick just yesterday on how to block ads in the Edge browser. Adblock and such work good as a browser extension, but whats better is to have a way to block ads SYSTEM wide and in programs and ads, and software such as Ad Muncher and Adguard do that.
I’ve been an Ad Muncher subscriber for years, and it’s sad to see that software dying. Luckily, we have an alternative: AdGuard.
This is an amazing tip/trick that I came across last night. By using a currency conversion glitch or whatever, you can save $50 and get a Lifetime license for Adguard Premium for only $8.51, normally priced $59.95.
You can get it even cheaper if you wish to not have the premium version, which only comes with Android support. It seems the iOS version is free, and even cheaper if you get a year subscription, which is pointless since the lifetime is so cheap.
The glitch happens when you select Belarussian roubles as the payment, and then convert it to USD in paypal.
Use this Link to order a Premium Lifetime license: https://adguard.com/en/license.html#new/5/PREMIUM/36500/1/
You can change things up, just make sure the currency stays as Belarussian roubles.
At first when I came across this trick I was skeptical, and was shocked when I clicked payment in the cart and paypal converted the price to only $8.51.
I was still a bit weary of this, surely they are against people using this glitch, but after a quick google search, I found many people talking about the same exact thing years ago back in 2014. So it’s a known glitch that they seem to be okay with.
After submitting paypal, Instantly got a license, that activated and works just fine.
Weird thing is, they sent me two licenses. I thought it glitched but the order ID and everything was the same. I didn’t want to feel secure in using either License because i thought maybe they’d shut one off, so I contacted their support letting them know of the double license that they had sent me. Though I was worried that they would see i used the currency glitch and suspend both licenses, which is okay.
I was shocked by their reply, they simply said that there is some glitch in the system that sent me to licenses, and that I can keep both and gift one to a friend if I’d like. WOW!
So not only to they seem okay with this currency glitch, they are also okay with a glitch that sends double licenses out. It’s almost as if its intentional, ha (my dad used the currency trick and got two licenses last night as well)
The company seems to be great, and have nice friendly support. I think the company is Russian, so it’s not a surprise that they aren’t as greedy as other company’s in the US and Europe seem to be, which is a breath of fresh air.
So far, AdGuard is working great. The Client is very sluggish and laggy moving around its settings and such, but it works, and the iOS version is really nice.
Not only does the software block ads, but it also blocks malicious and phishing sites from connecting, which is a great addon.
Also I don’t need to use the host file trick that I posted yesterday to block ads, AdGuard blocks ads in Edge just fine.
