- abnercoimbre 11mo agoI'm not well-versed in this: is AdGuard roughly equivalent to Pi-hole?
- danek_szy 11mo agoTheir self-hosted product (AdGuard Home) is. ;)
- GeekyBear 11mo agoThey do run a public DNS server that is equivalent to a Pihole. It's worth trying on devices where you can't install ad blocking software, but can change the TCP/IP settings.
- nasduia 11mo agoyes, and it will happily run on a reasonable OpenWRT system such as a GL.iNet Flint 2.
- brewtide 11mo agoYou can also install AdGuard home as a home-assistant add-on, and then configure your router to hand that IP out as the network DNS server -- so all of your network traffic is ad blocking as soon as it hits your wifi. (like a pihole). It's pretty slick, highly recommend. (Also super useful to see what devices are reaching out to where and how frequently, custom block lists, custom local DNS entries, etc).
- dizhn 11mo agoTheir pihole alternative is great too. Single go binary. Fantastic software.
- workfromspace 11mo agoHow would they compare to NextDNS?
- 1970-01-01 11mo agoAs a satisfied customer, I just recommended their adblockimg DNS on here a few days ago but am happy to do it again. If you really don't want to install anything, at least adblock at the DNS level. https://adguard-dns.io/en/welcome.html https://adguard-dns.io/en/welcome.html
- alickz 11mo agoI use their app on Android and it blocks ads system wide I would recommend it
- spixy 11mo agobest thing is that it works even without their app, just change dns in settings
