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.
It operates as a DNS server that re-routes tracking domains to a "black hole," thus preventing your devices from connecting to those servers. It's based on software we use for our public [AdGuard DNS](https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html) servers -- both share a lot of common code.

## Getting Started
Please read the [Getting Started](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/wiki/Getting-Started) article on our Wiki to learn how to install AdGuard Home, and how to configure your devices to use it.
Alternatively, you can use our [official Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/adguard/adguardhome).

## Comparing AdGuard Home to other solutions
<a id="comparison-adguard-dns"></a>
### How is this different from public AdGuard DNS servers?
Running your own AdGuard Home server allows you to do much more than using a public DNS server. It's a completely different level. See for yourself:
* Choose what exactly will the server block or not block.
* Monitor your network activity.
* Add your own custom filtering rules.
* **Most importantly, this is your own server, and you are the only one who's in control.**
<a id="comparison-pi-hole"></a>
### How does AdGuard Home compare to Pi-Hole
At this point, AdGuard Home has a lot in common with Pi-Hole. Both block ads and trackers using "DNS sinkholing" method, and both allow customizing what's blocked.
> We're not going to stop here. DNS sinkholing is not a bad starting point, but this is just the beginning.
AdGuard Home provides a lot of features out-of-the-box with no need to install and configure additional software. We want it to be simple to the point when even casual users can set it up with minimal effort.
> Disclaimer: some of the listed features can be added to Pi-Hole by installing additional software or by manually using SSH terminal and reconfiguring one of the utilities Pi-Hole consists of. However, in our opinion, this cannot be legitimately counted as a Pi-Hole's feature.
| Feature | AdGuard&nbsp;Home | Pi-Hole |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| Blocking ads and trackers | ✅ | ✅ |
| Customizing blocklists | ✅ | ✅ |
| Built-in DHCP server | ✅ | ✅ |
| HTTPS for the Admin interface | ✅ | Kind of, but you'll need to manually configure lighthttp |
| Encrypted DNS upstream servers (DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, DNSCrypt) | ✅ | ❌ (requires additional software) |
| Cross-platform | ✅ | ❌ (not natively, only via Docker) |
| Running as a DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS server | ✅ | ❌ (requires additional software) |
| Blocking phishing and malware domains | ✅ | ❌ |
| Parental control (blocking adult domains) | ✅ | ❌ |
| Force Safe search on search engines | ✅ | ❌ |
| Per-client (device) configuration | ✅ | ❌ |
| Access settings (choose who can use AGH DNS) | ✅ | ❌ |

### How does AdGuard Home compare to traditional ad blockers
It depends.
"DNS sinkholing" is capable of blocking a big percentage of ads, but it lacks flexibility and power of traditional ad blockers. You can get a good impression about the difference between these methods by reading [this article](https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-vs-adaway-dns66/). It compares AdGuard for Android (a traditional ad blocker) to hosts-level ad blockers (which are almost identical to DNS-based blockers in their capabilities). However, this level of protection is enough for some users.

You can either install it via the provided links or use [brew.sh](https://brew.sh/) if you're on Mac:
```bash
brew install go node
```
### Building
Open Terminal and execute these commands:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome
cd AdGuardHome
make
```

### Test unstable versions
There are two options how you can install an unstable version.
You can either install a beta version of AdGuard Home which we update periodically,
or you can use the Docker image from the `edge` tag, which is synced with the repo master branch.

### Help with translations
If you want to help with AdGuard Home translations, please learn more about translating AdGuard products here: https://kb.adguard.com/en/general/adguard-translations
Here is a direct link to AdGuard Home project: http://translate.adguard.com/collaboration/project?id=153384
Before updating translations you need to install dependencies:
```
cd scripts/translations
npm install
```
Create file `oneskyapp.json` in `scripts/translations` folder.
Example of `oneskyapp.json`
```
{
"url": "https://platform.api.onesky.io/1/projects/",
"projectId": <PROJECT ID>,
"apiKey": <API KEY>,

You might have seen that [CoreDNS](https://coredns.io) was mentioned here before — we've stopped using it in AdGuardHome. While we still use it on our servers for [AdGuard DNS](https://adguard.com/adguard-dns/overview.html) service, it seemed like an overkill for Home as it impeded with Home features that we plan to implement.
For a full list of all node.js packages in use, please take a look at [client/package.json](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/blob/master/client/package.json) file.
