This is where AdGuard Home comes into play - and shines. Given how densely we are surrounded by gadgets in our life, it can get really tiresome to find, install, configure and maintain an ad blocker app for each of them, and, as I've mentioned already, in case of "smart furniture" this is not possible at all. Ads are no better - they have long become a gateway to all kinds of malware, viruses, crypto lockers, phishing and more trackers. It is probably not news to you that ads and trackers follow you on the web wherever you go, not only on your computer, but also on your smartphone (in fact, probably even more on your smartphone!), and even in things like smart fridges, smart vacuums and - God help us all! - smart light bulbs!Įven if you have nothing against companies gathering data about you, tracking can be plain dangerous. One of the main reasons is that the installation of AdGuard Home is currently not the easiest task for an unprepared user, simplifying it is one of the highest priority tasks as we move forward.ĭon't get me wrong, it works perfectly fine in its current state, there's just even more we want to add - and we will, in the official v1.0 release that will be announced before you know it.īut we simply couldn't wait any longer, so meet AdGuard Home 0.9! Why use it?
That is why we are calling this version of AdGuard Home "v0.9". Honestly, I would be lying if I said that we implemented 100% of everything that we wanted. It's too bad Apple won't allow apps that manage DNS requests anywhere near the AppStore - well, what if you didn't need any apps? And this is the main strength of AdGuard Home: you can set it up anywhere, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Naturally, the DNS approach looked the most promising. When Apple decided that you couldn't control the traffic on your own devices anymore, we sought ways to put users back in charge of their own gadgets. In fact, we should probably "thank" Apple for speeding up the development of AdGuard Home. And while AdGuard Home is a standalone project, it took a lot from its spiritual predecessor.
INSTALL ADGUARD HOME INSTALL
For the first time, we offered a way to block ads without having to install anything on your device, like a browser extension or an app.
The first step towards AdGuard Home was made two years ago, with the announcement of the AdGuard DNS beta. At the same, AdGuard Home features a web interface to easily manage the filtering process. Its purpose is to let you control your entire network and all your devices, and it does not require using a client-side program. The short version: AdGuard Home is a network-wide ad-and-tracker blocking DNS server. And today we are announcing the official release of a completely new product - AdGuard Home, which carries a lot of cool new stuff with it. Some even heard about AdGuard DNS, a way to block ads without installing anything on your device. As many of you probably know, AdGuard provides a lot of ways to block ads in form of various apps and browser extensions.
