Best-effort mode for Parental Control and Safe Browsing

[timkgh]

Prerequisites

• I have checked the Wiki and Discussions and found no answer

• I have searched other issues and found no duplicates

• I want to report a bug and not ask a question or ask for help

• I have set up AdGuard Home correctly and configured clients to use it. (Use the Discussions for help with installing and configuring clients.)

Platform (OS and CPU architecture)

EdgeRouter EdgeOS mips64_softfloat

Installation

systemd

Setup

On a router, DHCP is handled by the router

AdGuard Home version

v0.107.36

Action

When family-block.dns.adguard.com or standard-block.dns.adguard.com are down, AGH is very slow or completely unusable, DNS requests time out.

Can you please add a "best effort" option for the security and parental control web services where AGH stops using them for a minute if it detects they are down, then tries them again once in a while until they are back up again? Some sort of a healthcheck.

I realize some users want strict enforcement of these options, but others are fine with a "best effort" use, if they are down no big deal, continue serving DNS.

Expected result

AGH should at least continue to serve DNS.

Actual result

AGH is unusable.
