Thanks guy, i did it by added AGH.exe in firewall allow list.

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

Adguard Home, Pi-Hole

These cannot block Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube ads

Why? Because they can only monitor and handle DNS requests

So, it can see a request to googleadservices.com, and block it
But, these websites like YouTube, the ad comes from the same domain
So, if you want to block it, you'll have to block YouTube.com
Which will block the entire site

So, it's simply not possible for these to block YouTube ads

Use a browser based adblocker, uBlock Origin has always worked for me
Google wants it gone from Chromium browsers, so move to Firefox if needed

Currently using NextDNS. Still testing it on my home network before making the recommendation to my boss for office level deployment. So far, this DNS service is quite robust, easy to config and is free (for up to 300k queries, after which, you can either use it disabled until next month, or pay RM79 per year, which is kinda cheap IMO. so far, tested some of the shady lanun sites, it managed to block it without any issues. Anybody else is using this DNS? Wanna know your thoughts on this service and whether or not it is suitable for commercial deployment.

I believe quite a few do
I use it when I'm out of home (can't be bothered to tunnel back home to use Pihole)

ControlD is another one that people use here

It's alright
Just that it seems to be just in a maintanance mode just keeping the service going
Not much active communication or updates
Forums are pretty dead too

But the core service works
They also have dns0.eu, free public DNS for EU countries, so unfortunately quite high latency if we try to use it
