What is AdGuard Home?
AdGuard Home is a network-wide DNS server that blocks advertisements, tracking domains, malware, and phishing attempts by rerouting unwanted DNS queries to a black hole. It provides privacy protection for every device on a network without requiring client-side software, acting as a centralized filtering solution.
Home network administrators, privacy-conscious users, and developers managing IoT or smart home environments who want to implement network-level ad and tracker blocking across all connected devices.
Developers choose AdGuard Home for its out-of-the-box feature set including encrypted DNS support, a built-in DHCP server, and a modern web admin interface, offering greater control and easier setup compared to alternatives like Pi-Hole without needing additional software.
