AdGuard testing site

Hello

As many people as many configurations. We all have different hardware, OS, programs, applications, security software etc. and all of them uses (mostly) custom configuration like filters etc.

I'm coming up with an idea to create Adguard website just for all kind of testing:
1) injection
2) filters
3) extensions
4) communication with the program
5) all others I've forgotten

Why?
Websites uses few ads sources, browsers uses cache. All kind of security software, custom configurations may create unexpected behavior and not known issues. Such website could help us finding new problems, finding out which application or configuration causes it and finally resolving them.

Website configuration
case 1 - always same content
case 2 - random content
case 3 - user choose tests

+Replay button next to every single test to rerun only that one

First case would help us know where is the problem - which software, filter, module or something else may cause issue.
Second case would tell us if the thing we changed in first case makes the problem go away permanently.
Third case would run only test we have chosen if others are not necessary.

How it might look?
1) Hello! I'm injected code so if you see me it's ok :) || Adguard <module name> wasn't able to inject code to the browser. Please check <something, security software, ...> for possible conflicts.
2) Image/advert text/animation/...
Blank place in the table - it's ok. || If you're seeing <something> it may indicate some problem with filters. <do something>
3) <extension name> has been loaded properly OR failed to load
4) Something like ping (not direct meaning of course).
Request: Hey, I'm here. Can you hear me? Reply: Hey there. I heard you.
if Request && Reply ReachedTarget { ShowConfirmationText }
else printf ("Comunication with the program failed. Please try again");
;)
Request from both sides* - Adguard to the browser + reply + confirm if got reply. Same from browser to the Adguard.
*Not sure if it is necessary.
5) Devs knows Adguard code best


TLDR: I'm requesting creating Adguard test website to test all Adguard modules (something like EICAR Standard Anti-Virus Test File for anti-virus software to check if everything works fine) to help finding and resolving potential issues with our software and configuration.

There is some work to do if you decide to create such site but it can be helpful IMHO. If you think it's horrible idea, feel free to bin this thread.

What do you guys think about this?

Hi buuuu!

We thought about creating such website some time ago.
In the end we have given up.

The problem is that the number of different website configurations is too big and it's too difficult to implement them all on one test website.
It's really easier to find the number of different real websites than implementing it.

:) Yes, you're right. Thanks for reply

One of the reasons I requested this is because of possible compatibility issues with Chrome running inside Sandboxie. I think Sandboxie needs some special rules for Adguard (rules like many other software) to run properly with it. I will post thread when things with Chrome stabilize. V37 and above has some issues with Sandboxie + "massive code rewrite" just for chrome.

What could be handy was a simple test site which just displays an "ad" like a banner saying "AdGuard is NOT working on your machine" (and, preferably, the IP address of the request), so one could simply and reliably check if adguard is working at all or circumvented.

Is that lazy cat the AdMuncher developers work attitude? :p


BTW: If you have PHP on that server, couldn't you add

<h2>Your Ip Address is</h2>
<h1>
<?php
echo $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
?>
</h1><h2>
<br>
Your rDNS entry is</h2>
<h1>
<?php
echo gethostbyaddr ( $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] );
?>
</h1>

to that site?


EDIT: @avatar: You appear to have *way* too much time!
@all: Reload that page several times (CTRL-F5), IMHO it's worth it :)

So I got an assignment for you for tomorrow: :cool:
Would you please add HTTPS testing code to that page so that one not only sees if AG is filtering at all but also if only HTTP or both, HTTP + HTTPS are filtered?
(Quick'n'dirty: load same script per HTTPS)

Also it would make testing easier (remembering the URL, faster typing) if test.html was the DirectoryIndex of the some easily memorizable VirtualHost like http://tst.adguard.com


Thank you,
Dolfi

There is an easier way:)

You may check HTTPS://static.adguard.com/test.html and see if it's filtered or not.

YAY! Classical vendor, mixing up "easier for vendor" /w "easier for customer".
Easy for me (remember: paying customer) was to have a short, easily momorizable URL which showed the actual state. a.k.a. "DashBoard".

Pls get to know the idea of a dashboard:
i.e. just typing tst.adguard.com which showed my filter states for HTTP as well as HTTPS instead of having to open http://static.adguard.com/test.html (which actually takes way longer than necessary due to "niceness") and then having to type https://static.adguard.com/test.html to find out about HTTPS state.

regards, Dolfi

(P.S. sorry, pissed anyway right now (not about you), might express myself even less polite than usual)

It was if you permanently hosted an element (https://...*.jpg) which you blocked by a permanent rule.
Add a simple IMG to your current page, the source jpg shows the Text "HTTPS scanning disabled", the ALT TXT shows (in <h2> or <h1>) "HTTPS scanning enabled".

Might not be as "nice" as the green clicki-bunti interface but functional and fast and reliable.


HTH,
Dolfi

P.S. I stole your test page, resized the image to 200px, made the en/disabled <h1>. This is functionality vs. design (though I know and accept that you have to deal with these common ppl responsible for nowadays beautiful but unfunctional UIs)
