Those are really good regex rules which already block 50% of all ads/trackers/bots etc.ĪdGuardHome supports TLS DNS for more privacy.

You may want to add those lists to your lists. Iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br-lan -p tcp -dport 53 -j DNAT -to 192.168.1.1:5353 Prevent DNS leaks and force all connected devices to use the new DNS port: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br-lan -p udp -dport 53 -j DNAT -to 192.168.1.1:5353 I have the Adguard Home DNS server running at 192.168.1.1:5353Īccordingly, the /etc/conf/dhcp config must be adjusted and the new DNS server must be defined: config dnsmasq So it will survive future OpenWRT updates !!!!Īfter AdguardHome is started on the router, open the browser and start the AdGuard Home web interface it is better to move AdGuardHome to a USB stick. Old binaries are moved as backup after an update.

!!!! It is possible to install AdguardHome under /opt/, but this directory can grow. Nohup /mnt/usb/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome > /dev/null 2>&1& Opkg update & opkg install coreutils-nohup It is also possible to run it in the background (manually started):

AdguardHome and all necessary settings can be made via the web interface. The corresponding release must be downloaded and unpacked. Since it is programmed in Go, many architectures are already supported:

Adguard Home can be started automatically via /etc/rc.local by simply executing the binary.

DNS over TLS and HTTPS are supported by default.

The DNS server can be operated in parallel to dnsmasq.

Adguard Home comes with its own web interface, which can be accessed on a self-selected port.

The big advantage over Pi-Hole is that Adguard Home does not need any dependencies and can be started from a single binary file.

The DNS lists can be copied 1:1 from Pi-Hole or equivalent sources. I‘m running Adguard Home on a Netgear R7800.Īds/trackers/malware etc. To use Adguard Home on an OpenWrt router you need at least 20 MB free storage and about 100 MB free RAM (it can be started from a USB stick the more RAM, the better). This is a small guide for Adguard Home, an equivalent alternative to Pi-Hole.
