AdGuard credentials stay on the server. Only enabled lists, custom rules, supported active rewrites, and supported blocked-service rules are imported. Weekly service schedules use v2 DNS policies; update the client before deploying the server that sends them. Missing local time-zone settings or unrepresentable service rules fail the sync and preserve the last successful snapshot. The upstream copy action supports primary UDP/TCP IP addresses only. Filter-list hosts and redirects must resolve to public IP addresses. Web Access policies are per computer, not per user.
