Free protection from unwanted ads on your mobile/laptop/computer/android/IOS

Protect your devices from unwanted ads using AdGuard DNS

AdGuard DNS is a public DNS (Domain Name System) service provided by AdGuard, a company that specializes in ad-blocking and privacy solutions. AdGuard DNS aims to enhance your online experience by blocking ads, tracking, and malware at the DNS level, before they even reach your device. It can be used on various devices, including computers, smartphones, and routers.

To set up AdGuard DNS, you can follow these general steps:

1. Configure DNS Settings:
   • Go to the network settings on your device. This could be in the Wi-Fi settings for your phone, the network settings for your computer, or the router settings for your home network.
   • Locate the DNS settings. This may be under advanced settings or a similar section, depending on the device.
   • Replace the default DNS server addresses with the AdGuard DNS addresses. AdGuard offers both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. You can use the following:
     • IPv4 Addresses:
       • Primary: 176.103.130.130
       • Secondary: 176.103.130.131
     • IPv6 Addresses:
       • Primary: 2a00:5a60::ad1:0ff
       • Secondary: 2a00:5a60::ad2:0ff
   • Save or apply the changes.
2. Check the Configuration:
   • Once you’ve configured the DNS settings, you can check if AdGuard DNS is working by visiting a website known to have ads. If AdGuard DNS is functioning correctly, you should experience fewer or no ads.

It’s worth noting that configuring DNS settings can vary depending on the device and operating system you’re using. The steps provided here are general guidelines, so you may need to refer to specific instructions for your device or system.

Additionally, you can also set up AdGuard DNS on individual devices without configuring your router. Just go to the network settings on each device and enter the AdGuard DNS addresses.

Keep in mind that while AdGuard DNS can enhance your privacy and block certain online threats, it’s not a comprehensive security solution. For more robust protection, consider using a combination of tools like antivirus software, firewalls, and secure browsing practices.
