There are several ways to set up AdGuard Home: on your router, on a VPS or on a Raspberry Pi as an appliance. However, we believe in you! Let’s check what options you have. It’s not trivial to set up, you’d need at least some level of technical knowledge and familiarity with some core concepts to get it going. While AdGuard Home will offer you many options that no other software could, there’s the other side of the coin. Because of its nature, AdGuard Home can be used to control traffic of literally any device that goes online, including smart TVs, smart fridges, and even smart light bulbs. It's based on software we use for our tested and trusted public AdGuard DNS servers - both share a lot of common code.

And aside from blocking ads and trackers AdGuard Home can (and was specifically designed to) perform many, many other tasks like encrypting your traffic, for example.ĪdGuard Home provides a user-friendly web interface that allows you to easily manage the traffic, even from a smartphone.īut how does AdGuard Home work? To put it simply, it operates as a DNS server that redirects ad and tracking domains to a 'black hole', thus preventing your devices from connecting to those servers. Unlike traditional ad blockers that work on a specific device or even in a specific browser, AdGuard Home, once you set it up, will cover ALL devices in your home Wi-Fi network, and you won't need to install any client-side software on each and every device for that.

AdGuard Home is a network-wide, open source software for blocking ads & tracking and for gaining control over all traffic in your home network.
