Adguard Home not blocking enough ads

Has anyone gone through the issue of still being bombarded with ads?

I have tried adding every conceivable blocklist and while some ads are blocked, the only main thing I achieved was blocking myself from the company's fantasy league website (as it is associated with gambling).

Curious to know if you have a supreme blocklist somewhere!

P.s.: I live in Denmark and receive primarily Danish and German ads

PSA: Change your default blocking to NXDOMAIN

I ran into a strange issue where some websites are not working for me, using the debug console I saw a few SSL certificate requests have errors, long story short, found a suggestion to change the default blocking mode to NXDOMAIN, granted it's probably a JS bug on the site but it was working w/o AdGuardHome and now working with NXDOMAIN, just FYI, have a nice day.

What are you using for AdGuard Home stats?

I recently moved from Pi-hole to AdGuard Home and the one thing I really miss is the stats.

Pi-hole made it easy to see 24h graphs, traffic per LAN device, top blocked domains, and what was happening over different time ranges. AdGuard’s cumulative stats are useful, but not enough when trying to understand device behavior or blocked traffic over time.

What are you using for reporting?

Grafana? Prometheus exporter? Query log tools? Something else?

Mainly looking for:

  • per-device traffic
  • allowed vs blocked over time
  • top domains blocked/requested
  • 24h / 7d / 30d views
  • something reasonably easy to run in Docker Compose ideally

Thanks

Do i understand this right?

That u must first, install ad guard home on a pi or something.

To then set the Router to this DNS? I have no pi. Can i install this, on my tablet?

Or Google tv(connected trough LAN)

Unable to disable DHCP on router

I have a Comcast router with a pod extender. Unfortunately, the only way to disable DHCP on my router is to enable Bridge Mode but the extender does not work with that enabled.

I want to use AdGuard to avoid having to remember ports for various services running on my homelab. Other than investing in my own modem/router (I'm moving in a few months so I don't know what service I'll have in the future) is there a configuration I can use to make this work?

AdGuard Home + AdGuard DNS Personal: Should I still use local blocklists?

I'm using AdGuard Home with my paid AdGuard DNS Personal as the upstream DNS server. Should I still enable local blocklists like AdGuard DNS Filter and AdAway, or is that just duplicate filtering? What's the recommended best practice?

Lovely use case: Sending your cellular mobile traffic through Adguard Home and realizing just how many trackers/ads certain apps are using to profit on you.

Just incredible. Realizing how proliferate the "Meta Audience Network" is with 'ep2.facebook.com' dns calls.

Using Adguard Home + Adguard iOS app (free version). Best practices?

I am using Adguard Home for my home network and will be setting it up shortly with Tailscale to provide DNS protection to my devices when on remote networks. I also use the free version of the iOS app. I am looking for a comprehensive guide for what to enable on the iOS app to give me as much extra as the app can provide with as little redundancy as possible. Every time I ask this question I seem to get different answers. Can anyone provide some assistance here?
