Does DNS AdGuard com block ads?

What is the DNS server for AdGuard 2023?

How to turn on the AdGuard DNS server?

Is there any way to avoid DNS servers or other adverts? Is there a simple way to download videos using this DNS server? Can we get to be a partner program? Can we change any things in the app like changing its name? Is there any chance that they would release an updated version of the app that actually works for everyone? How can you contact the staff? Is there a trial period? This could mean that we can try all it features before we pay for the subscription. Is there some kind of guarantee that when we upgrade we won't have to renew a long period of time? Or could they increase their prices and then we are forced to renew. The most important question: will the AdGuard DNS server be used for mobile devices as well? Are we going to get a mobile version for this DNS server? Do we have to pay again if we try to make the app download videos from various websites? To me these seem a lot questions. I hope that this post is going to help others.

Does DNS AdGuard com block ads?

Can I check?

I have a few Adblock extensions installed. DNS AdGuard com doesn't block ads like uBlock does. I wonder if it just doesn't block ads yet, or if it just doesn't make my computer explode yet. I don't know which one of them is better.

Hi, I have noticed some time ago that my DNS (DNS adguard com) blocks ad after I clicked on an ad and goes down. How do you explain this? I want to ask: what does it mean exactly? @Dude: It's not just you, everybody with our DNS get the same effect. @TheLazyB: It's not blocking ads per se but you are being redirected to the advertiser page. Which is usually the point of the adware. I don't have my Adblock for Linux to be honest. Perhaps the DNS AdGuard com should offer such an option.

@Hulk: You need to read the thread in more detail to understand what we are talking about. I would suggest to install a Linux live CD in order to experiment as you're doing atm. It is possible that DNS AdGuard com's default configuration of blocking ads results in a performance drop, but that is just an assumption. And it certainly could change when the Windows version of the software is launched.

If you want to know the exact reason why it happens, please give us more details about the problem. Also check the IP address of the redirected page.

What I do, when I see that the DNS AdGuard com shows blocked advertisement is this: I close the browser. And then open another one.

But I think this isn't a very good solution. So I'd appreciate some help on how to fix the problem. Or maybe how to create a fake dns request by opening another window in the same browser.

@Hulk: There's a commandline tool for the Windows version. So if you want to try it out, then you would need to download the Windows version. I would suggest you read the FAQ first as we can't really answer your question here. If you still want to test, then download the 32-bit version. (Not the 64-bit.)

Does AdGuard DNS still work?

My family moved to a new town last summer.

It had an internet connection that was pretty bad and I was using AdGuard DNS to make it's speeds on youtube better.

However the internet connection they got when they moved was much better and I no longer need to use it, because the new connection is so good. Unfortunately my DNS still says its "unknown" and I'm starting to think that AdGuard DNS is not compatible with this new Internet Provider (I tried it at home with their modem which uses ADSL and it works flawlessly).

Does anyone else have the same problem or know how I can fix it? Hi I also use adguard dns! Adguard dns works! Just change the dns servers manually for example in ipconfig if you use windows 10 or in chrome go to Settings > Advanced options > Network > Change DNS 1. Try this.

Yes it works. All you need to do is switch to a different DNS server. If you want to use Google DNS add dnsserver 8.8 8.4 to the settings of the Adguard firewall.

I had a similar problem and tried the above method. Unfortunately it's no solution for me. It always says "Unknown". I'm using a mobile Internet connection on my android phone. Could it be the cause? If so, how do I change my DNS server?
I use a WIFI card which sometimes connects to the Internet via one cell tower and sometimes connects to the Internet via another cell tower. AdGuard DNS says "Unknown" for both connections. Only Google DNS is able to correctly resolve DNS for all traffic, both from cell towers.

How to install AdGuard DNS? Will it work with my current setup? If I will uninstall it, will it affect my internet speed? It should work without affecting your internet speed, because it requires the browser to send information to AdGuard DNS, and the browser is not running while you use the internet (except for ads that are displayed by the browser).

Is AdGuard DNS reliable?

Or is that a red flag?

I know that there are several anti-malware brands that claim to be DNS filtering software. We all use the Google DNS IP addresses. When I asked a friend of mine if his router is using Google DNS he did not want to admit it. And his VPN firewall/proxy had been installed by someone else. And so I was suspicious of his router (it is an old Netgear R7000).

So, before buying the adguard DNS I made sure that it would not prevent me from using the Google DNS. And indeed I could access and browse some websites with my Google DNS settings.

But ? Will it prevent me from accessing the net if the company behind the DNS decides that I have done something bad and block me. So can somebody with deep technical knowledge tell me what are the pros and cons of the adguard DNS compared to DNS filtering DNS? And will a DNS server have enough power (memory and storage) to be able to hold my IP address for some time and prevent me from browsing on the net? What are the dangers of not using the DNS filtering and will adguard DNS protect me from being hacked/crashed or from malware? In a very real sense, any DNS can be hijacked, thus any DNS can be used to filter or censor whatever you like. DNS filtering software is generally a non-issue, and in fact many people have reported problems with certain brands (notably Norton 360).

However, having said that, if you are seriously concerned about protecting your system against malware, the chances are better that you should switch to something like the Windows built-in firewall (see ) than to run a separate layer of software which, while it is good at blocking some types of malware, may also block more legitimate software (and hence you run the risk of having to uninstall it). That's the danger of running "software" which has a reputation for blocking malware. It may just block more than it deserves to.
