AdGuard Home
A free DNS server you run yourself that blocks ad and tracker domains for every device that uses it, including phones, consoles and smart TVs.
What you can do with it
- Block ads and trackers on devices you can't install a blocker on, like a smart TV
- Safe Search and adult-site blocking for the whole family
- A live log of every server each device in the house contacts
Worth knowingIt only protects devices that use it as their DNS server, so whole-house use needs an always-on machine (if it goes off, those devices lose the internet), and DNS blocking can't remove YouTube ads or Instagram sponsored posts.
