![]() ![]() Think of this, AdGuard could potentially make a site non working, with the Pihole this is easily fixable (whitelists). Who do you trust more? An open source adblocker with an active community or an open source company based adblocker?Īnd if your Pihole has secure passwords and doesn't run unsafe software, this isn't a big concern.īiggest advantage of the Pihole is, that you have full control over everything including blocklists. Just lol 3, don't use VPN or the Pihole as DNS for that device. Control Blocking You can quickly enable or disable filtering & safe browsing/search. Manage your clients, filters, DNS rewrites, and more. Quickly enable/disable blocking features, as well as view statistics such as top clients and top domains. Now you will resolve local machines when connected to your LAN, and if connecting over the internet the public DNS record will be used instead. Just lol 2, just add some more blocklist for adult sites.Īccess settings (choose who can use AGH DNS)✅❌ AdGuard Home Remote makes managing your AdGuard Home quick and easy. In AdGuard Home navigate to Settings -> DNS settings and go to top section under Upstream DNS servers. Parental control (blocking adult domains)✅❌ Running as a DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS server✅❌ (requires additional software)īlocking phishing and malware domains✅❌ (requires non-default blocklists) You can use Wireguard/OpenVPN for using pihole with your smartphone and other devices. Those options aren't hard to implement into Pihole.Ĭross-platform✅❌ (not natively, only via Docker) A VPN can help here.Įncrypted DNS upstream servers (DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, DNSCrypt)✅❌ (requires additional software) HTTPS is not necessary if used locally, and you should never expose port 53/the Pihole publicly. Iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br-lan -p tcp -dport 53 -j DNAT -to 192.168.1.1:5353įeel free to change upstream DNS servers to whatever you like (Adguard Home supports DoH, DoT and DoQ out of the box), add the blacklists of your preference and enjoy ad-free browsing on all of your devices.HTTPS for the Admin interface✅Kind of, but you'll need to manually configure lighthttpd This step is optional, there are some apps and devices that ship with a harcoded DNS server making AGH useless unless we setup the following iptables rules: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br-lan -p udp -dport 53 -j DNAT -to 192.168.1.1:5353 Go to Resolv and Hosts Files tab and check the Ignore resolv file option.Login into LuCi and go to DHCP and DNS section, set DNS forwardings to 192.168.1.1#5353.Create an user and choose a strong password.Set DNS server to listen in 192.168.1.1 at port 5353.Setup the admin web interface to listen in 192.168.1.1 at port 8080.Note that if your router is not at 192.168.1.1 then replace the IP address accordingly. This router has an arm64 processor but you may need to replace it with the architecture that matches your router (eg armv7, mips, etc), SSH into your router and run: opkg update & opkg install wget A router with a recent OpenWrt version installed.įor this tutorial I’m going to use a Belkin RT3200 / Linksys E8450.In a nutshell: there is no longer an AdGuard Home instance running in the private network. It operates as a DNS server that re-routes tracking domains to a “black hole”, thus preventing your devices from connecting to those servers.Ĭompared to Pi-Hole, Adguard Home doesn’t requires additional dependencies so you can run it on OpenWrt without problems. The Raspberry Pi running AdGuard Home is assigned a static private IP address (10.10.10.10) and is connected to a router running OpenWRT (10.10.10.254) and performing Network Address Translation (NAT). After you set it up, it’ll cover ALL your home devices, and you don’t need any client-side software for that. AdGuard Home is a network-wide software for blocking ads & tracking.
