What is AdGuard Home?

The AdGuard Home software provides network-wide ad and tracker blocking capabilities, acting as a DNS server that re-routes tracking domains to a non-functional address. This eliminates connectivity between users' devices and those servers, preventing the transmission of personal data and the display of unwanted advertisements across the entire home network. The application leverages the same underlying codebase as AdGuard's public DNS service, ensuring robust and reliable performance. Once set up, AdGuard Home covers all devices on the network without requiring any additional client-side software, delivering comprehensive privacy protection
