AdGuard DNS is an alternative solution for tracker blocking, privacy protection, and parental control. Easy to set up and free to use, it provides a necessary minimum of best protection against online ads, trackers, and phishing, no matter what platform and device you use.

DNS Privacy

If you use regular client-server protocol, you are at risk of your DNS requests being intercepted and, subsequently, eavesdropped and/or altered. For instance, in the US the Senate voted to eliminate rules that restricted ISPs from selling their users' browsing data. Moreover, DNS is often used for censorship and surveillance purposes on the government level.

All of this is possible due to the lack of encryption, and AdGuard DNS provides a solution. It supports all known DNS encryption protocols including DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-QUIC, and DNSCrypt.

On top of that, AdGuard DNS provides no-logs privacy policy which means we do not record logs of your browsing activity.

Basic Features

Blocking trackers network-wide with no additional software required. You can even set it up on your router to block ads on all devices connected to your home Wi-Fi network.
Protection from phishing and hazardous websites and malvertising (malicious ads).
Use the Family protection mode of AdGuard DNS to block access to all websites with adult content and enforce safe search in the browser, in addition to the regular perks of ad blocking and browsing security.

Can AdGuard DNS replace a traditional blocker?

It depends. DNS-level blocking lacks the flexibility of the traditional ad blockers. For instance, there is no cosmetic pages processing. So in general, traditional blockers provide higher quality.
