## What it is
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
