nextdns VS AdGuardHome

Block 45.76.93.104 and 2001:19f0:6c00:1b0e:5400:4ff:fecd:7828 at the firewall if possible.

Ensure that DNS-over-HTTP (DoH) is enabled where it can be.

Set upstream DNS servers that block malware, such as 1.1.1.2 or NextDNS

Delete "fritz.box" from the domain search list in DNS settings.

Educate your parents to be cautious about directly typing domain names or searching from the OmniBox.

I've tried hosted Pi-Hole and AdGuard Home. They are good as long as I'm around to fix stuffs. Then I tested something which can be global (home) and also for individual devices -- Control-D, NextDNS, and Adguard DNS. All of them works pretty well. If I really have to choose, then it would be in the order of NextDNS > Control-D > AdGuard DNS. Affiliated with none, and have decided to subscribe to all three to further test them for this year.

Okay but NextDNS' own homepage says it "blocks ads and trackers on websites and in apps" - https://nextdns.io

I first used Safari on Windows around 2006. Put me off forever.

You just need Firefox and the extensions that mean ads are never seen.

That said, take a look at https://nextdns.io

just run snort and get nextdns.io account and use those DNS servers to control your DNS.

I'm using NextDNS which can be integrated into TailScale MagicDNS. It works seamlessly. You may need to pay if you have a high usage rate. I pay for the Pro version but that's less than $30 CAD a year. I did have in house Raspberry PI and Pi-Hole DNS but it was a lot of work.

pretty much to the same effect of a pihole, yet you can get up and running in minutes. You can then configure wherever you please: your browser, your laptop, your phone, or even your router.

Also AdGuardhome will use optimistic caching, which is great.

They already have many other commercials products and I guess also the default filter rules are very good because of their experience in the domain.

But I think you can use it completely without the AdGuard servers and use other filter list sources.

How it compares to let's say AdGuard Home? Seems similar https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

I'm using adguardhome v0.107.42 openwrt snapshot on linksys wrt1900ac v2, but when using DoH it won't resolve upstream DNS, but DoT is works perfectly OK, I've already set allow_unencrypted_doh to true in config .yaml file as per instruction here

AdGuard Home?

Regarding open source, AdGuard DNS actually is:
