before you abandon your adguard home set up, see if this have any results on your adguard home dashboard

1. at your PC, open cmd or terminal

2. type:
nslookup
server 192.168.0.2 <-- change the IP address to your adguard home IP
google.com
www.google-analytics.com

3. 'google.com' should return something and google-analytics.com will show 0.0.0.0

results might look like this:

have to turn off icloud private relay ya?

Not vps, I run the server locally.

I reckon the new router Dlink DIR-X3060Z is the problem coz previously I used another router which is fine.

thx, after i turn of private relay, set dns and ipv6 dns, now all working fine forum look clean clean now

Trying out adblock lean.So far so good.

Hi guys, adguard home support ipv6 ?

support. you want to use the adguard built in dhcp server?

because after change ipv6 dns server to adguard ip i no longer have ipv6 service

For me, I leave IPv6 dns blank and just use ipv4.

you mean ipv6 dns on your router ?

Yes. I only have ipv4 dns enabled. All queries are done thru ipv4.

it really does depend on your router

some routers advertise the router itself
some will put isp dns if you leave blank
some will not advertise anything if you leave blank

i use a router flashed with openwrt and it's behaviour is the last one after i uncheck advertise router as dns server

but whenever needed, i always use the link local (fe80) addresses

Not really. It can be used still block many in app ads, telemetry etc. And even as a way to use DoH/DoT as ISPs are sometimes hijacking google, cloud flare dns to MCMC dns server now.

these dns based adblockers can NEVER block facebook/ig/youtube ads because the content comes from the same domain as the ads
it is not "dumb and meaningless" as it can still help block on

devices that you cant install adblockers: eg, smart tvs
devices that are a bit more painful to install adblockers onto: eg, android phone

and even then, running your own server has benefits like having exact control over what to block and unblock, logging for monitoring purpose, and also now with recent isp hijacks, sending your upstream requests encrypted so isp cant snoop on it

for blocking youtube ads, use firefox and ublock origin, that's all you need.

To get the actual IP address, you must read and parse the X-Forwarded-For HTTP header.
If the client didn't pass through any proxy, it should be only one IP address. If the client pass through multiple proxy, the field will contain a comma-separated list of IP address.

D-Link chew UDP 53 packet. You need to configure:

I did this to get ipv6 internet
first you need to obtain the ipv6 address of your adguard home device, then set it as ipv6 dns in your router settings.

we use adguard for DoH and block ads in the Internet, so it is still useful

Indeed, i found it very useful.Not only blocking popups ads, i configure with blocking malware, cryptojacking, scam, spam and phishing.

This is my test result with my chosen blocklist.

Done, ipv6 primary need to key in ip address from adguard and secondary leave it blank

If you wanna argue for the sake of argue, then lets argue

First of all, why i use another device and software? Because i can use different DNS upstream simultaneously, of course you would not understand that. The flexibility offered by AdGuard Home that you will never understand.

2nd, I am using Adguard to block Ads & offer a layer of protection to my elderly or not so IT savvy family members. And AdGuard Home offers a more granular settings compare to browsers extension that got Cripple By Google itself if you are using Google Chrome.

Yes it is all about DNSMASQ config, since there is GUI settings why not leverage it? It is like you prefer manual transmission car and I love auto transmission car and you don't have to laugh at me for being an auto transmission guy.
