## How does it work?
AdGuard Home operates as a DNS server that re-routes tracking domains to a "blackhole", thus preventing your devices from connecting to those servers. It is based on the same software we use for our public [AdGuard DNS](https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html) servers.
