AdGuard Home

AdGuard Home is a network-wide software for blocking ads & tracking. After you set it up, it’ll cover ALL your home devices, and you don’t need any client-side software for that. With the rise of Internet-Of-Things and connected devices, it becomes more and more important to be able to control your whole network.

If you're going to use for example ssl it's an easy task to add all your server domains like nextcloud.home to AdGuard Home instead of your router or /etc/hosts file.

You can also add the domains under:

nano /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome.yaml

dns:

    - domain: nextcloud.home
      answer: YOUR-IP
    - domain: searx.home
      answer: YOUR-IP
