[*] Handelsblatt.com

Hi,
above site does not work anymore - shows a popup. Adding it to the whitelist does not help. Has anybody a better solution than temporarily disabling AG completely?

This is a paywall which we do not fix in our filter lists.

Policy on adblock walls

Hi guys, I have some news (not very good) about AG filters policy. There are multiple websites that opt to detect ad blockers and prevent people from using the website unless ad blocking is disabled. Our policy on that was always simple -- if an adblock wall messes with the way people use the...

Thanks. The site handelsblatt.com works if I completely switch off AG. Unfortunately this is not a user friendly procedure. My understanding is that whitelisting a site should be the same functionality as switching AG off. Unfortunately adding app.handelsblatt.com to the whitelist still shows the popup. So the question is: Is there any workaround to get the site running WITH adds without always having to switch off AG?

Please try to disable DNS protection.

It works if I disable it completely. Unfortunately it does not work to just exclude Handelsblatt.com in that section. Maybe there is an additional domain I need to release?

If the site has rule like @@||handelsblatt.com^$document in user filter it should work (with DNS protection disabled).

Yes, it works if you turn off DNS completely. However, this is a very crude approach for my liking. It would be nicer if it were only restricted for handelsblatt.com. However, despite whitelisting all sites that are loaded in the background (e.g. vhb.de, handelsblattgroup.com, ...), I have not yet found a working solution.

DNS cannot know from which website requests the checked url.

I think I can guess what is meant by that.
