AdGuard Home is a free, open-source network-wide DNS server that blocks ads and trackers for every device on a home network without client-side software. It supports modern encrypted DNS protocols (DNS-over-HTTPS, TLS, QUIC, DNSCrypt) and includes a web admin dashboard with filtering, parental controls, and query statistics.
Use cases
- block ads on all devices on my home network
- set up a self-hosted DNS server with ad blocking
- replace Pi-hole with a modern DNS ad blocker
- use DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS at home
- block trackers for IoT devices that can't run ad blockers
- add parental controls and per-device DNS filtering
- monitor DNS queries on my network
When to choose
- you want network-wide ad and tracker blocking with no per-device software
- you need encrypted upstream DNS (DoH, DoT, DoQ, DNSCrypt) support
- you want a web UI, parental controls, and per-client rules out of the box
- you're protecting devices like smart TVs and IoT gadgets that can't install blockers
When to avoid
- you need content-level ad blocking inside web pages rather than DNS-level blocking
- you only want to block ads in a single browser - an extension is simpler
- you can't run a always-on server or container on your network
- you need fine-grained cosmetic filtering that DNS blocking can't provide
