DNS Based ad and Tracking blocking

To start using AdGuard Home, you need to configure your devices to use it.

AdGuard Home DNS server is listening on the following addresses:

172.18.19.182 (Primary General Use)

https://adguard.cloud.annagesinc.net/ (Android private DNS)

tls://adguard.cloud.annagesinc.net:853 (see the below for how to use this address)

Setup Guide

Router

This setup automatically covers all devices connected to your home router, no need to configure each of them manually.

Open the preferences for your router. Usually, you can access it from your browser via a URL, such as http://192.168.0.1/ or http://192.168.1.1/. You may be prompted to enter a password. If you don’t remember it, you can often reset the password by pressing a button on the router itself, but be aware that if this procedure is chosen, you will probably lose the entire router configuration. If your router requires an app to set it up, please install the app on your phone or PC and use it to access the router’s settings.
Find the DHCP/DNS settings. Look for the DNS letters next to a field which allows two or three sets of numbers, each broken into four groups of one to three digits.
Enter your AdGuard Home server addresses there.

Windows

Open Control Panel through Start menu or Windows search.
Go to Network and Internet category and then to Network and Sharing Center.
In the left panel, click “Change adapter settings”.
Right-click your active connection and select Properties.
Find “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” (or, for IPv6, “Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)”) in the list, select it and then click on Properties again.
Choose “Use the following DNS server addresses” and enter your AdGuard Home server addresses.

Android

From the Android Menu home screen, tap Settings.
Tap Wi-Fi on the menu. The screen listing all of the available networks will be shown (it is impossible to set custom DNS for mobile connection).
Long press the network you’re connected to, and tap Modify Network.
On some devices, you may need to check the box for Advanced to see further settings. To adjust your Android DNS settings, you will need to switch the IP settings from DHCP to Static.
Change DNS 1 and DNS 2 values to your AdGuard Home server addresses.

DNS Privacy

DNS-over-TLS: Use tls://adblocker.annagesinc.net:853 string.

Here’s a list of software you can use.

AdGuard for Android supports DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS.
Intra adds DNS-over-HTTPS support to Android.

iOS

AdGuard for iOS supports DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS setup.
DNSCloak supports DNS-over-HTTPS, but in order to configure it to use your own server, you’ll need to generate a DNS Stamp for it.
