From the menu bar, click on AdGuard, then select Advanced > Advanced Settings.Open the AdGuard settings panel (either through the app, or the browser extension) by clicking on the gear icon.However, recently it’s been noted 1 2 that AirDrop affects Apple Bourjour service – a network service that powers AirDrop. This is where AdGuard blocks ads before websites gets rendered on the browser. How AdGuard works is that it essentially sets up a local mini-VPN such that network traffic flow through here. Then I realized this has to be a network issue, so I started looking through all the apps I installed that may affect network – and AdGuard stuck out. I’ve tried everything that a Google search might suggest, turning WiFi, bluetooth, computer off and on, doing updates etc. I could receive using AirDrop just fine – which indicates it’s not an issue with bluetooth or WiFi on my Mac. AirDrop is a feature of the Apple ecosystem that allows easy file transfer across devices.īut for the last couple of months I just couldn’t figure out why I cannot send files from my Mac to my other Apple devices.
