The software combines the world's most advanced ad blocker, a whole privacy protection module, and a parental control tool — all working in one app. This amazing software deals with annoying ads, hides your data from a multitude of trackers, protects you from malware attacks, and lets you restrict your kids from accessing inappropriate content. Install AdGuard and see the internet as it was supposed to be: clean and safe.

  • Get rid of annoying banners, pop-ups & video ads once and for all
  • Hide your data from the multitude of trackers & activity analyzers that swarm the web
  • Avoid fraudulent & phishing website and malware attacks
  • Protect your kids online by restricting them from accessing inappropriate & adult content

This deal is ongoing mostly it won't end tomorrow but the page shows ending tomorrow hence I have set the deal to expire tomorrow. I will renew this deal - if it's available again.

Apologies, If I am offending anyone but pretty sure non IT people can complete below setup as well :)

For IT savvy people :
You can install AdGuard home software on a PC acting as a DNS server then update DNS server address on your router to your PC IP which will save you multiple licenses as ads,trackers will be blocked at DNS level.
Use below links to learn more about installing and configuring the software to your needs; links are safe to access. This is a good project to play around - buy a Raspberry pi or make use of an old PC to setup as a DNS server.

    This or pi hole?

    • deemax33 on 11/07/2022 - 12:30

      Pi-hole is a Linux based network wide ad blocker meaning you got to install it on a Raspberry Pi or a Linux based system which general public won't be able to do it easily.
      AdBlocker has Windows installation and browser extension which works okay.

        Can someone explain with something like a raspberry pi, could I run pi-hole, some python scripts and homesassitant all at once? Or would I need multiple pi's?

          You absolutely can, although depending on the pi and your own usage you may hit performance issues. Look into using Docker for a tidy way to manage multiple services in a containerised manner!

          • noobshoes on 11/07/2022 - 15:29

            @todayssawyer: Nothing too complex, yet. And if necessary I can always run a laptop instead!

          Consider “Adguard Home” which is the Adguard equivalent to Pi-Hole and has an official Home Assistant extension deployable via HA making deployment and support super simple. I found the product works well.

          AdGuard Home is seperate to the product in this deal and like PiHole is completely free and is a network wide DNS solution.

          • noobshoes on 11/07/2022 - 15:29

            @Smigit: Sweet. Thanks so much for that!

            • Smigit on 11/07/2022 - 18:13

              @noobshoes: No worries! The addon is here

              https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-adguard-home

              They used to have a Pi-Hole one however the person maintaining it who also supports this one found PiHole harder to support so I think they just focused on AdGuard as it could be more cleanly supported as an addon in HomeAssistant.

              I’ve personally tried both products and they both are nice with their own UI perks, but can achieve the same thing by and large in terms of DNS filtering.

              Another option is the free tier of Oracle Cloud has enough capacity to run either AdGuard Home or PiHole in the cloud with Wireguard to give you a private connection to the cloud hosted instance. It’s more complex to set up but means you can access the services when away from home without exposing your home network. Good for mobile use.

              • noobshoes on 11/07/2022 - 18:40

                @Smigit: Now that is sick! Didn't know there was a free tier for Oracle. Will definitely be checking all this out

                • Smigit on 11/07/2022 - 20:21

                  @noobshoes: @noobshoes have a look at the following to get started.

                  https://github.com/IAmStoxe/wirehole

                  https://iamstoxe.com/posts/automating-the-deployment-of-your…

                  https://dev.to/mjtechguy/oracle-free-tier-wirehole-ansible-t…

                  I think there’s a few similar projects for Wireguard + PiHole and often or usually have Unbound too. There’s also Google Cloud as an option for free however all free servers are in the US which is why I picked Oracle.

                  If you want to do AdGaurd Home instead of PiHole via Docker-Compose then there’s a bit less info. I used one of the PiHole configs and modified it to suit AdGuard Home. I can probably send over my config file if that’s of interest, but for ease PiHole might be the easier setup when going the cloud way due to the extra info out there.

                  Lastly I have both a cloud and local instance. Set the Wireguard client in my phone to switch to cloud when I’m off my home network, otherwise use my local one.

                  Anyway, Good luck!

                  • noobshoes on 11/07/2022 - 21:22

                    @Smigit: It's getting real now haha. I'll take a proper look at your links tomorrow. Signed up to oracle free tier and started the setup to get python going! A little confused but I'm getting there. Been a while since I worked in IT haha

      Depends on the journey you want to take.

      I did look at pi hole and felt I couldn’t undertake that journey within the time constraints I had.

      So went AdGuard.

      • mansunz on 11/07/2022 - 12:39

        Pi-hole setup is pretty easy nowadays. You can get one up and running in less than 2 hours nowadays unless you want to do some fancy routing.

      • BinChicken69 on 11/07/2022 - 22:36

        Ive used both I found adgaurd home to be my preference, its fast and uses max 4% CPU o my pi 4b. Easy to disable when running into DNS issues with a toggle switch after logging into IP address .

    • bboT on 11/07/2022 - 12:55

      How well does pi hole play with shopback/cashrewards? I see reference to white-listing relevant domains, does anyone know how reliable this is?

        Every time I want to purchase via referral, I deactivate pihole -> click referral and complete entire transaction -> reenable pihole.

        Easy to do, but also easy to forget…

        • bohn on 11/07/2022 - 13:36

          that isn't ideal - especially if you have quite a lot of people using it.
          I run linux and have a windows VM running for certain tasks and I also use it for shopback/cashrewards as it isn't using adguard etc.

        • lgacb08 on 11/07/2022 - 14:33

          You won't forget, pi-hole will block the redirection request if don't disable it.

          This is why I use Diversion on my Asus router - it's similar to pi-hole and Adgaurd but runs natively on the asus using Merlin firmware. All my ads are blocked, and I can chose to display ads in ozbargain or not without affecting referrals as they work out of teh box without needing to do anything. Diversion seems to be better from what i've seen for other reasons too - if an ad or link gets blocked that I don't want blocked, like a "sponsored" or advertisement link for example from a google search, its easy to quickly add a whitelist for that site or domain - it can even be configured differently by client, meaning for example one device can block a particular site/domain/ad while another device can access it.

          You can also run Adgaurd home on the asus if you want, also via the modified Merlin firmware, so no need to buy or use another system. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/release-asuswrt-merlin-adg…

          Awesome, thanks for sharing. I paid for 9x device sub a couple of years ago. Didn't know I could have just added the DNS values. That will free up a couple of licenses for devices that are home-based. The laptops and android mobiles still benefit from having the app installed.

        • spikiii on 11/07/2022 - 16:43

          this is cool - did not know there was a free DNS service like this to block ads/trackers.
          I'm thinking of adding these to my router settings - covers everything at home using wifi?
          Then added the profile individually to iphones to cover for whe they're out and about away from home wifi?

          ^ that sounds okay yea?

        custom blocking lists, its free 😂, nextdns is way faster than adguard at DNS querys (download a DNS speed tester on your phone and you can see for yourself), ability to do other protection than just ads (typosquatting, google safe browsing, phishing), much more advanced features (custom HTTP responses for blocked pages, aswell as web3 support). I just believe the free & open source alternatives are much better and more advanced. Adguard is a very watered-down DNS blocker

            @bohn: But if I understand correctly, unlike the browser plugins which remove the Ads AND format the website nicely by removing the elements of the site that had the Ads, these DNS solutions will block the ads but will leave big giant blocks of unloaded content? That's correct yeah?

            Because if that's the case, the individual device Apps are a much better option.

            • Leho on 11/07/2022 - 19:05

            • bohn on 11/07/2022 - 19:15

              @djz: if you want the removal of elements, then I would recommend installing ublock origin as well as having the network wide protection of adguardhome or whatever else.

              On android, I recommend the adguard app.

              Because if that's the case, the individual device Apps are a much better option.

              The network-wide ad blockers can block ads/tracking for a large number of users without having to install apps on all devices. @Leho, who recommends pihole OR ublock origin, probably does so because they are the only person on the network. It depends on how large your network is I guess.

        Pihole and Adguard are DNS sinks. They have a list of domains and IPs known as Blocklists and when you make a request to a page that has one it just forwards that request to null. Kinda like hosts blocking via the etc/hosts file where you assign a domain to 127.0.0.1.
