If you’re still stuck, visit the AdGuard GitHub Discussions and search for “PHP script blocked” – you’ll find your exact scenario, possibly even with “tbrg” as a local naming convention. This article is part of the TBG Developer Series — bridging privacy tools with web development workflows.

<?php // public.php - gets user IP and fetches external data $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $geo = file_get_contents("https://ipapi.co/$ip/json/"); echo $geo; ?> If AdGuardNet blocks ipapi.co (a known tracking/IP service), public.php will fail — not because of your code, but because of the filter. 1. DNS Blocking of External Dependencies Many PHP scripts call out to third-party APIs. AdGuard’s default blocklists include many ad/tracker domains. If your public.php uses google-analytics.com , facebook.com/tr , or even some CDNs, the DNS request fails. 2. Filtering by URL Patterns AdGuard’s URL blocking looks for patterns like */public.php?* or */analytics/* . If your script’s endpoint matches, AdGuardNet drops the request. 3. TLS Inspection (only in AdGuard for Windows/Linux) When “Filter HTTPS” is enabled, AdGuard can see the full URL path inside encrypted traffic. This can block specific PHP endpoints even if the domain is not on a DNS blocklist. Making “tbrg” + “adguardnet” + “publicphp” Work: Step-by-Step Step 1: Identify What’s Being Blocked Check AdGuard’s query log (AdGuard Home or AdGuard DNS). Look for public.php or the domain where tbrg lives. tbrg adguardnet publicphp work
