FAQ

How does AdGuard Home work?

AdGuard Home operates as a DNS server that re-routes tracking domains to a "black hole", thus preventing your devices from connecting to those servers. It's based on software we use for our public AdGuard DNS servers — both share a lot of common code.

Why use it?

Ads and trackers follow you on the web wherever you go, not only on your computer, but also on your smartphone and even in things like smart fridges, smart vacuums etc. Even if you have nothing against companies gathering data about you, tracking can be plain dangerous. Ads are no better — they have long become a gateway to all kinds of malware, viruses, crypto lockers, phishing and more trackers. AdGuard Home provides a unified solution for blocking ads and trackers on all devices within your network.

How is this different from public AdGuard DNS servers?

Running your own AdGuard Home server allows you to do much more than using a public DNS server: Choose what exactly will the server block or not block; Monitor your network activity; Add your own custom filtering rules. In the future, AdGuard Home is supposed to become more than just a DNS server.

How to set it up

Currently, you can install AdGuard Home on macOS, Linux (x32 or x64), and Raspberry Pi. There is no need to go into technical details — we have the installation process described in the dedicated GitHub repository. Also, detailed guides on installing AG DNS to VPS and Raspberry Pi are available in our Wiki.
