SockFilter was first introduced in v8.0 RC. It is an _experimental_, lightweight kernel-mode network driver that works at the socket level (TCP/UDP). Instead of inspecting or modifying packets as they travel through the full Windows networking stack, a sock filter intercepts socket calls (e.g., connect, send, receive, bind) at a higher, more stable abstraction level. This makes it ideal for applications that need to monitor or control network activity without deep packet processing.
49+
50+
When fully tested and implemented, SockFilter has the potential to bring several advantages over other drivers:
51+
52+
- **It operates at a higher, socket-level layer**: SockFilter works with socket operations rather than raw packets, making it less complex and more stable than WFP’s low-level packet filtering.
53+
- **No interference with other network drivers**: Because it sits above VPN, firewall, and antivirus WFP filters, it avoids filter-ordering problems and compatibility conflicts common in the WFP stack.
54+
- **Greatly reduced risk of NETIO-related BSODs**: SockFilter doesn’t run inside the NETIO packet pipeline, so it avoids the typical crash scenarios caused by WFP callouts mishandling buffers, classification results, or packet memory.
55+
56+
When it comes to disadvantages, SockFilter driver sees only socket-level operations and does not capture traffic generated by other kernel drivers or components that bypass the standard Winsock API. From a low-level networking perspective, this can be viewed as a limitation, since the driver cannot access raw packets or inspect non-socket traffic. However, for an ad-blocking application, this behavior is not just acceptable but optimal. All relevant traffic from browsers and user-mode applications goes through standard sockets, and that’s exactly what we need to control. At the same time, ignoring low-level driver traffic removes unnecessary complexity, avoids compatibility issues, and keeps the system stable.

Certain Windows registry changes can force the browser to stop using AppContainer, causing its processes to run in a non-sandboxed mode again. Network Service stops using the WSK stack and falls back to a network path that the TDI driver can see. AdGuard then regains the ability to filter browser traffic.

### Enable traffic filtering

In _Network_, you can also enable traffic filtering and choose which driver to use: SockFilter, WFP, or TDI.
22+
Traffic filtering is the core mechanism that allows AdGuard to inspect and control the network traffic generated by applications on your computer. When it is enabled, AdGuard intercepts outgoing and incoming connections and checks them against its filtering rules. If a request matches a blocking rule, AdGuard can block it, modify it, or allow it depending on the configuration. In AdGuard for Windows, this interception is implemented through network drivers.

**WFP** (Windows Filtering Platform) is a powerful driver, but it may present stability risks, such as [occasional system crashes (BSOD)](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForWindows/issues/5792) for some users.
24+
If HTTPS filtering is enabled, AdGuard performs a controlled local TLS interception: it decrypts the traffic using its local certificate, applies filtering rules, and then re-encrypts the traffic before sending it to the browser. The driver simply provides the system-level access needed for AdGuard to intercept these connections.

#### WFP
41+
42+
**WFP** (Windows Filtering Platform) is a Microsoft networking framework built into Windows that allows software to filter and monitor network packets at different layers of the system networking stack. AdGuard uses WFP to safely hook into the network flow of applications and apply filtering rules before the traffic reaches the browser or the Internet. [More information](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fwp/windows-filtering-platform-architecture-overview).
