 ### Hide Referer from third parties
 
 Referer is an HTTP header included in browser-to-server requests. It contains the URL of the request source. When you navigate from one page to another, Referer saves the URL of the initial page. The server that hosts the destination web page often has software that parses Referer and extracts various pieces of information from it.
 
-Enabling the *Hide Referer from third-parties* option prevents third-party websites from seeing this information by altering or removing the header.
+Enabling the *Hide Referer from third parties* option prevents third-party websites from seeing this information by altering or removing the header.
 
 You can also enter a custom value in the *Custom Referer* field. To use default Referer, leave the field blank.
 
 Note that to be able to filter traffic, AdGuard applications intercept browser-to-server requests. Requests to ad, tracking, and phishing servers may be altered before sending them to the server or blocked completely.
 
 Same goes for the *Hide Referer from third parties* option: To filter traffic, AdGuard intercepts HTTP(S) requests and may alter or block them before they reach the server. The change happens only after the request leaves your browser. For this reason, if you check headers inside the browser (for example with Chrome Developer Tools), you will still see the original Referer. To confirm that it has been modified, you can use external tools such as Fiddler.
 
-### Hide your User-Agent
+### Hide User-Agent
 
 When you visit a website, your browser sends a header called User-Agent as part of the HTTP request. It looks like a text line that begins with “User-Agent:”. This line usually contains details such as the browser name and version, operating system, and language settings.
 
 By enabling this option, AdGuard removes identifying information from the User-Agent so advertisers and trackers cannot use it to profile you. If you prefer, you can enter a custom value in the *Custom User-Agent* field. To keep the default value, simply leave the field blank.

 ### Protect against DPI
 
-The Deep Packet Inspection is a system of deep analysis and filtering of traffic by packet content, as well as the accumulation of statistical data. Using this technology, ISPs have the ability to control the passing traffic and limit access to content for their clients.
+![Protect against DPI *border](https://cdn.adtidy.org/content/kb/ad_blocker/windows/version_8/protection/protect_against_dpi.png)
+
+Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is a technology that allows ISPs to analyze and filter traffic based on packet content. With this option enabled, AdGuard modifies outgoing packet data to make it harder for DPI systems to identify and analyze your traffic, helping protect your connection privacy.
+
+When you click on *Protect against DPI*, a separate screen opens with three groups of settings:
+
+**ClientHello split** — modifies the TLS ClientHello message to make it harder for DPI systems to detect and block encrypted connections. The following strategies are available:
+
+- *Split TCP packet at fixed position* — splits the ClientHello TCP packet at a specified byte position.
+- *Split TLS record at fixed position* — splits the TLS record containing the ClientHello at a specified byte position.
+- *Split TLS before SNI* — splits the ClientHello before the Server Name Indication field.
+- *Split TLS after SNI* — splits the ClientHello after the Server Name Indication field.
+- *Split TLS in the middle of SNI* — splits the ClientHello in the middle of the Server Name Indication field.
+- *Split TLS randomly within SNI* — splits the ClientHello at a random position within the Server Name Indication field.
 
-Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is a technology used by some ISPs to analyze and filter traffic based on packet content. It allows them to monitor connections, restrict access to certain resources, and collect statistics about users.
+When using a fixed-position strategy, set the *Split byte position* (1–1500) to specify where the split occurs.
 
-When this option is enabled, AdGuard modifies outgoing packet data so that it no longer matches the DPI blocking criteria. This can help you bypass restrictions and access the content you need. However, not all DPI systems can be circumvented yet — improvements are still in progress.
+**HTTP request split** — splits HTTP requests into multiple TCP packets to bypass DPI systems that rely on inspecting complete HTTP requests.
 
-The *Protect from DPI* feature is already implemented in AdGuard for Windows, AdGuard for Mac, and AdGuard for Android.
+**HTTP space juggling** — manipulates whitespace in HTTP requests to confuse DPI systems that parse HTTP headers, making it harder for them to identify and block specific traffic.
