#AdGuardHome

For context I’ve set up #HAOS on a #RPi5, and #Jellyfin & #ShinobiNVR & #AdGuardHome on a #Linux server. They work great (well, not Shinobi yet…) on my home LAN, but I would like access outside of my home as well. I’m wading into unfamiliar territory though so I want advice from more knowledgeable nerds than me 🤓

I started to suspect that both my Apple TV and Homepod Mini were being naughty children making DNS queries to servers other than my local one.

So put together a list of the bigger public IPv4 and IPv6 DNS servers, then added a firewall rule rejecting all traffic to them from all devices other than my AdGuard Home server.

And guess what I found - I was right. Unauthorised communication with Cloudflare, and avoiding my AdGuard Home server.

A screenshot of firewall logs from my home network this evening, showing two devices - either themselves, or apps on them - having attempted unauthorised communication with a DNS server other than the one they're supposed to be connecting to.

The screenshot shows the source device name, source port for the communication, destination name/IP, destination port, server associated with the traffic, direction of traffic conveyed by an arrow, the policy type that captured the traffic, the action taken by that policy, and the date/time the action was taken at.

Needless to say, the phat Block list I just added to the network that prevents anything other than my own DNS server (AdGuard Home) communicating with these servers has now put a big stop to that.

So no traffic to unauthorised DNS servers, and also no traffic to anything that my DNS blocklists say is verboten either.

We have a few Samsung TVs and my wife likes when I run Stingray’s Naturescapes channel on them. This channel has videos of the beach, forests, etc. Because this content is streaming, I broke the ultimate rule and connected these TVs to the internet. They’re also behind #AdGuardHome. Finally, they turn on and off automatically (via #HomeAssistant). (1/2)

A line chart showing the overall trend of DNS queries blocked by time. During the 24 hour period shown by the chart, 73,920 requests (or 24.46%) were blocked by filters.

There is a noticeable dip over 1/3 of that chart down to near zero.

AdGuard Home: domácí ochrana nejen před reklamou

Jak na blokování reklamy a rodičovskou kontrolu ve vlastní režii? AdGuard Home je na to výborné řešení. Používám ho už půl roku a v článku jsem se podělil o praktické zkušenosti z instalace a provozu, popsal jeho nejdůležitější vlastnosti a taky se trochu věnoval srovnání se známějším Pi-hole.

Mein bisheriger Fortschritt beim #diday #didit #dutgemacht ... ein Prozess über Jahre und nicht von heute auf morgen. Aber Schritt für Schritt:

Weg von #Meta zu #Mastodon bei @digitalcourage
#Email bei #Posteo (mit #Thunderbird #PGP und #SMIME - leider kaum Behörden mit Verschlüsselung)
#Alias bei #unboxAT
#Cloud eine managed #Nextcloud
#Passwortmanager ist @keepassxc
Wo es geht #2FA mit #enteauth
#Foto geht zu @ente
Ein #ThinkPad T480 gebraucht gekauft und gleich #Linux mint drauf gemacht (aussehen wie macOS)
#Firefox nach der Anleitung von @kuketzblog
#WhatsApp gelöscht stattdessen @signalapp mit @mollyim und @threemaapp mit #ThreemaLibre
Vom #iPhone11Pro zum #fairphone5 und dort selbst #eOS @e_mydata drauf installiert.
Daheim ein #raspberrypi mit #AdGuardHome
Verschlüsselung per @cryptomator

Projekte:
#yunohost
AdGuardHome per #VPN

Zuhause noch einen iMac 27“ 5K (2017) mit macOS. Dort wird irgendwann auch Linux drauf kommen.

Bin selbst kein ITler... darum gerne offen für Tipps.

FYI für alle Nutzenden von #AdGuardHome : Die Sperrliste "HaGeZi's The World's Most Abused TLDs" hat auch die TLD "*.day" inbegriffen. Wenn ihr euch also zum #diday informieren wollt müsst ihr eine Ausnahme hinzufügen, sonst könnt ihr die Seite aufgrund der Domain nicht sehen.

Found a #blocklist of manually curated sites (1000+) that contain AI generated content, for the purposes of cleaning image search engines (Google Search, DuckDuckGo, and Bing) with #ublockorigin #uBlacklist #AdGuardHome #pihole

Well, apparently this is what happens if you misconfigure AdGuard and expose it into the internet for a day or two.

the first day of the year is as good a day as any to start building your #homelab
day1 of #homelabbing

so i have got two spare machines, a #thinkpad t460s and a dell inspiron n4010.
today i've put #debian trixie stable on the thinkpad which will be my main lab, and #openmediavault on the dell to make it a #NAS which will barely run any dedicated services.

moreover, i setup #docker and #tailscale. after which i started running the #vaultwarden and #AdguardHome containers.

current roadblock:
tailscale serve only let's me serve a single service via a single domain, i wanna figure how i can use multiple different domains on my local network so that i can access them individually at the same time.

i.e. something like,
vaultwarden.smth.ts.net
adguard.smth.ts.net

i haven't figured that out yet

It's Tuesday so you know what that means.

Each week we're showcasing some of the many automated jail templates available in BastilleBSD.

This week we're building with:

AdGuard Home is a network-wide software for blocking ads & tracking. After you set it up, it'll cover ALL your home devices, and you don't need any client-side software for that.

New DNS setup on my Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W! 🚀

Switched from Pi-hole to AdGuard Home + Unbound. The main change: I've disabled AdGuard's internal cache so that Unbound handles all caching centrally with values perfectly tuned for the RAM. 🛡️

At the same time, Unbound acts as a recursive resolver, fetching everything directly from the root servers. No more double-caching, just full control and lightning-fast responses! ⚡️

Frisches DNS-Setup auf dem Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W! 🚀

Bin von Pi-hole auf AdGuard Home + Unbound umgestiegen. Wichtigste Änderung: Der Cache von AdGuard ist deaktiviert, damit Unbound das Caching zentral und effizient mit perfekt abgestimmten Werten übernimmt. 🛡️

Gleichzeitig löst Unbound jetzt als rekursiver Resolver alles direkt über die Root-Server auf. Keine doppelten Caches mehr, dafür volle Kontrolle und blitzschnelle Antworten! ⚡️

Наладзіў дома на Raspberry Pi свой асобны DNS AdBlocker. Сяджу гляджу як рэклама ды трэкеры не могуць прабіцца праз сістэму. Нажаль не магчыма праз DNS фільтры блакаваць інтэграваную рэкламу ў усялякіх там Фэйсбуках ды Інстанрамах для жонкі.

@stephenrobles I think I remember in one of your videos that you run Adguard Home on your home network. If correct, any issues with the iPhones 17? All 17s on my network refuse to connect. #apple #AdGuardHome
