Hi
This is a storage usage limit for AdGuard Home introduced in our newer firmware versions. The main purpose is to limit the number of rules loaded, preventing excessive memory usage that could lead to sluggish performance, application crashes, or even system instability.
Currently, we will:
- Roll out this measure to additional models through future firmware updates.
- Set reasonable limits based on the available memory of each device.
The limits we’ve set are relatively conservative—aimed at maintaining smooth performance while reserving sufficient memory for other processes, rather than pushing the system to its limits.
That said, if you’ve verified that your current configuration runs well in your environment, it should be fine to keep using it.
We also appreciate your detailed guide—some advanced users will likely find it helpful.
