Adguard Vpn

The standard AdGuard DNS servers "only" provide standard filtering. You can't configure the filters/blocklists/whitelists/web services (Facebook, WhatsApp, Amazon, ...) that are to be blocked. Furthermore you have to use an adguard server as dns server. with the home variant you can use secure dns over tls servers which do not log.


I found a nice, functional luci-app-adguardhome ( -app-adguardhome). The development appears to be in Chinese, however, the web UI itself shows in English on my device and works great for configuring many options for AdGuardHome. After you install it, you just have to change the luci-app-adguardhome to match the settings that you have for AdGuardHome (binary locations, work dir, port, etc.) and it will recognize everything from that point and you can make changes as needed.

luci-app-adguardhome:

I had mentioned this in my most recent post. I used it briefly but have since removed it. It is quite complex but I prefer simplicity myself. Anyway, it used an init.d script to facilitate in being able to change the work-dir, bin path, config path, etc. Much of these can be changed with command line arguments anyway. It can also compress the AdGuardHome binary as well. So while it is quite neat and comprehensive, I prefer to do many things manually myself and keep things simple.


pihole is a truly open platform and works entirely with out needing dedicated apps or plugins on each device. pihole does have a nice gui now, but at the time it definitely was not as polished as adguard.


While AdGuard does support per-client requests similar to Pi-Hole in my opinion Pi-Hole does it much better. Lets say I have 5 computers that I want to allow 1 domain for. With adguard I would have to manually add all 5 of those computers and the manually add that 1 domain for all 5 of them (10 actions total). Expand that by say 10 domains for 5 computers (55 actions total).
