I added your filter to the AdGuard-Pro app for iPhone in the DNS filtering part of AdGuard and it had work fine until I had added "Notracking Blocklist" filter and AdGuard wasn't able to reconnect to the internet after loading that filter and your filter was blocking the localhosts 127.0.0.1 domain for some reason ![Uploading 246377451...]![Uploading 246377760...]

Here are the screenshots that I had, tried to upload from the GitHub mobile app.

This blocklist couldn't cause such a problem. The entry 127.0.0.1 is a standard hosts file entry

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)

Windows has that entry in its hosts file. So do all computers if they have a host file. All it does is reserve looking up the domain 'localhost' to point to itself. For example, if you type localhost in the address bar of a browser and you're running a website on that same computer, it would pull up the website hosted on itself. Like, it's gotta be something else with adguard or something causing the problem because it doesn't make sense.

I had added this filter rule to the AdGuard's DNS filtering section of AdGuard-Pro for iOS version and I am not using the Windows OS version
