A LuCI web interface plugin for OpenWrt that manages AdGuardHome, a network-wide DNS-based ad blocker. It provides core download/update, DNS redirection modes, path configuration, log viewing, and scheduled maintenance tasks from the router's admin UI.

Use cases

• manage AdGuardHome from the OpenWrt web interface
• set up network-wide ad blocking on a router
• redirect DNS port 53 to AdGuardHome
• use AdGuardHome as dnsmasq upstream
• auto-update AdGuardHome core and gfwlist on a schedule
• compress the AdGuardHome binary with upx to save router storage
• keep AdGuardHome config and database across OpenWrt system upgrades

When to choose

• you run OpenWrt and want a GUI to install, configure, and update AdGuardHome
• you need DNS redirection modes (dnsmasq upstream, port 53 redirect, or dnsmasq replacement)
• you want scheduled log truncation, gfwlist updates, and config backups on a router

When to avoid

• you don't use OpenWrt or LuCI
• you need ipset support, which AdGuardHome itself lacks
• your router filesystem is jffs2 and you can't tolerate the DNS database being symlinked to tmpfs
• you need a maintained project - the last release was 2022 and there is no license
