AdGuard Home: Unleashing Network-Wide Ad and Tracking Defence

Adguard home is network wide DNS filtering software. It is considered a alternative to pi-hole. But it has a lot more features compared to pi-hole as a result it is also slightly resource heavy compared to pi-hole.

It has a fancy Web UI. User friendly setup process.And it supports Windows, Mac and Linux unlike pi-hole which has only linux support although both adguard home and pihole can be installed through Docker.

Installation

It has a automated install script for linux(only on which we will talk about). To run the script we can use curl wget fetch .

curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/master/scripts/install.sh | sh -s -- -v

wget --no-verbose -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/master/scripts/install.sh | sh -s -- -v

fetch -o - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/master/scripts/install.sh | sh -s -- -v

After which we have to navigate to its web UI at http://server-ip:3000 to complete the setup.
