Adguard DNS is not good at all. 1. It have free 300k queries with filtering but it gets consumed so fast. Domains make multiple queries at the same time. 2. No default protection by default. Mostly depended on 3rd party blocklists for adblocking and threat protection. 3. High latency. Ping is higher. 4. proprietary. 5. Bad customer support. Mostly won't reply to emails or requests. 6. Anyway, it still collect some data. 7. Russian based.

AdGuard DNS provides a family protection server which blocks adult content. Unfortunately, it did not block the proxy service that I tested.

What is AdGuard DNS?

Control all web traffic on your devices, block ads, trackers, and malicious domains. Make the Internet safe for everyone at home or at work.

  • Block anything: Block ads, trackers, and analytics systems for any website or app
  • Protect your kids: Shield your kids from undesired content and schedule their screen time
  • Control all devices: View request stats and manage web traffic for each of your devices

How AdGuard DNS works

  1. Let's imagine that you've connected your devices to AdGuard DNS. Now your DNS service is up and running.
  2. Every time you enter a website URL or open a link, your device asks AdGuard DNS for the corresponding IP address.
  3. If the domain address belongs to an advertising, tracking, malicious, or phishing website, AdGuard DNS blocks your access to it, thus protecting you from malicious attacks or privacy breaches.
  4. Our dashboard gives you a clear understanding of what domains get requested by each of your devices. It helps you quickly and easily block unwanted sites.
  5. You're all set! AdGuard DNS helps you control your online experience and see what you want to see without exposure to ads, tracking, or malicious threats.

Features

  • Ad blocking: AdGuard DNS uses powerful filters to eliminate ads and trackers on every connected device. Trust our default filters, block domains manually, or do both: it’s up to you.
  • Parental control: Keep your children safe online: shield them from adult content on websites, search results, or YouTube. Decide which sites should be blocked and when. For example, stop your children from using social media during their homework.
  • Stats at your fingertips: Get real-time stats on DNS requests of all devices. For each device, see to which sites it tried to connect, which requests got blocked, and when, and change DNS filtering rules on the fly. View stats by date, country, or device, or switch to a bird's eye view.
  • Customized filtering: Use our private DNS server and decide which domains should be blocked or allowed on each of your devices. Connect your computer, smartphone, tablet, or router and manage their DNS queries as you see fit.
