About AdGuard DNS

AdGuard DNS is a privacy-oriented ad-block DNS server. If the domain address belongs to an advertising, tracking, malicious, or phishing website, AdGuard DNS blocks your access to it. It works at the network level, so computers, smartphones, tablets and routers that use it can be covered. Family protection mode adds adult content blocking, and the dashboard shows request stats for each device.

Key features

  • Blocks ads, trackers and malicious domains on connected devices
  • Family protection mode that blocks adult content
  • Enforces safe search in browsers that support it
  • Secure DNS support for DNSCrypt, DoH, DoT and DoQ
  • Real-time DNS request stats for each device
  • Custom block and allow rules for each device
  • DNSSEC support for verifying DNS record authenticity
  • Scheduled screen time for children
Best for: Home and small business users who want network-wide blocking, and families who want to manage children's online access.
Watch out for
  • Non-filtering mode gives a secure connection but blocks nothing
  • Setup steps differ by operating system
