Nice
I been using this Adguard Home for almost 2 years down the road, it been very useful for my family members

Nice
Glad it is working for you

Initially using DOH to 3rd party server that provide preconfig blocklists maybe 4 years ago,before that just using browser plugin on my pc.
Since feb this year, i happen to buy new router to play around and decided to use dnsmasq + stubby(DOT) + adblock-lean on the router.Highly configurable.
I believe the blocklist format for adguard home abit different from adblock-lean. but with the same goals.
How do you run your adguard home? using docker container? or dedicated hardware?

Niceeee
4 years ago i am still a newbie in networking, now still a newbie but got level up from 0-1


Initially i run AdGuard Home with Raspberry Pi 4, then i switched to an mini x86 PC in order to get more firepower to run other services.

Same here, still noob. I have been using old x86 pc,spun up smoothwall to monowall to pfsense.i cant afford to run the machine 24/7 since higher electrical bill.so im switching to asic hardware (normal home router,tiks and wrts) and since i dont have gigabits internet, with hardware offload (WED etc), i can get away with cheaper and low wattage hardware like filogic 8xx.Btw, im caught fish for a living, not a network expert by all mean.

Well, i have a big family so have to use x86 device Bye bye energy saving device

Oh i see..i am from IT field but more to Server related, not network guy anyway, just olok olok network sometimes
Guess hobby & interest gather us all together to this Adguard stuff

beside adblock, i use adguard for content filter for my kids since it can force restriction mode for youtube plus blocking services like deviantart, etc.

i installed it on old intel atom netbook (lenovo s10-3). power usage is very low since it is only for adguard and file storage.

then i upgraded to intel n100 mini pc, install proxmox (act as my dev server since i WFH alot) and add adguard on it.

I got that same netbook sitting around lol
what distro did you put on it? did you disable the screen since its always on?

thinking about using it as an alternative to raspberry pi

i'm using headless debian. didnt bother with the screen settings because its always fold down.

just that the battery already busted. if blackout, i have to manually turn it back on lol.

Thx bro, now play those free games no more ads hahaha

Only ipv4 I use secondary dns as back up in case I restart my home assistant my internet won’t down

wah..i am still using intel atom D525
But good enough for my big family

Personally i recommend this Distro, DietPi, damn lightweight and has build in AdGuard as well

And it also support Raspberry Pi 4, 5 is On The Way

welcome, sharing is caring.

Hi, i'm newbie to AGH, i've just setup it and i'd like to ask why can't i access to the home interface using other device?

tell us more about your setup
like have you configure static IP to the AGH device?

Yes, i configured static IP to the AGH device (a laptop), eg. interface 192.168.0.88 :88 bind port 88, both on the same network

I followed the instruction below from YT

can you open the adguard gui on the laptop (localhost:88 or 192.168.0.88:88) ?

Yes, i can open web interface on the laptop 1 with 192.168.0.88:88, not in laptop 2 with the same address

Usually windows firewall is not needed for local access…but have you tried disable firewall or add the ‘adguardhome’ exe in firewall exclusion?

Oh you are using AGH in windows, can you try to disable the Windows Firewall and try to access AGH from another laptop again?

Sorry I am using Linux based AGH, so my input might lead you wrongly, please bear with me
