The next step is to configure the router’s DNS to use AdGuard Home’s DNS servers.ĪdGuard Home’s Knowledge Base provides the steps to accomplish this: To gauge the effectiveness, a few sites have to be checked before the settings are applied. Since ads are so prevalent these days I am not worried about wondering if it is blocking ads.
Unfortunately, there will not be any back-end dashboard to view to administer block lists or see blocked traffic. Without the Raspberry Pi, I am unable to configure my router to use PiHole or AdGuard Home as a network-wide ad-blocker.įortunately, AdGuard Home has a few servers that I can use to see whether or not it blocks ads until I can get my Raspberry Pi setup. I believe I have identified the root cause of my current issue however, I could be wrong or still have more issues to troubleshoot and resolve. That chart of theirs can be updated and AdGuard could checkmark few other boxes.I have been struggling to get ArchARM setup on my Raspberry Pi. I have both running and my recco still stands for AdGuard for extended features for anyone looking to filter per client, specially with kids. One of the killer features for me, given I can easily enable parental, safe search and also enable family shield dns from opendns. Individual upstream config per client is not available on pihole. I didn't even mind AdGuard when I was testing it I just find configuring pi-hole easier for me and the AdGuard 'we're better than pi-hole, if we move the goalposts far enough' chart really doesn't sit well with me. They might have a point about having secure DNS available off the start, but installing cloudflared or unbound are relatively simple and they guides provided are pretty much cut and paste. Per-client filtering has been available since the 5.x series was released, pi-hole is technically more efficient with filters (no a dev but I've read developer Dan's input on this), and if sshing into a pi and running 'pihole -up' once every few months when FTL gets updated I would seriously consider using nextdns.io (actually a great service for people who don't want the headache of running their own DNS server). (Specially if you are on their beta stream).Įxcept all of those things are available for pi-hole, so they're not even correct about what features they have that are 'better'.
I had felt the same about the support but the package does get updates frequently and developers are active on telegram etc. I don't see anything wrong and the new features are much better than Pi.Hole's, including more efficient way of handling filters, updates and pre-client based DNS filtering, which isn't available on Pihole. I'd imagine they are responding to the community's inquiry on their package vs pi.hole which came first.
