built an Adguard High Availability controller

Hi team, in case any of you are homelabbers and running multiple versions of Adguard Home, or want too, I built something to make it super easy to manage.

It's a DNS Controller specifically for Adguard Home, can support a cluster of nodes, in a central control plane, giving you the ability to push configs to all nodes at once, read the stats, logs etc in a central place from all nodes, revert configs, etc. a real HA controller.

It doesn't affect the DNS operations at all, all traffic is still via your nodes.

check it out at https://github.com/benchristian88/atlas-dns if you are keen to try it out.

I built it because I wanted it, no product validation, no other user feedback, just felt like something I wanted. Hope someone finds it useful.

What's the story with "pxl.juneworewyjyna.com"?

So I happened to be browsing my AdGuard and I noticed that on the 13 August 2026 at 2am, roughly 43k requests were made to: pxl.juneworewyjyna.com

I've searched for that domain on Google and got 3 hits only. Gemini links it to

>... Tsyndicate, an online advertising and tracking network, posing risks such as unsafe redirects ...

Doing a dig on juneworewyjyna.com points me to 94.130.167.206 which is a Hetzner data center.

The average number of DNS requests recorded by AdGuard is only 1500 per hour, so a sudden spike to 43k is way out of the ordinary and unusual enough to investigate.

Unfortunately, I'm an idiot, and did not have query log turned on in AdGuard so I don't know which device(s) was making the requests.

I'm hoping someone here knows or has insights?

Top dns clients I don’t recognize

https://imgur.com/a/k0Inuer

Hi,

I set up adguard on a dedicated machine and also on my always on mac mini as a secondary dns server in case the main one fails.

On the mac mini I see 3 clients outside my network (see the screenshots). I’m sure I didn’t open port to my mac on my router, it is a new router setup from scratch. And I disabled UPnP on said router.

Does anybody know of these are normal clients on a mac for some reasons?

On the main server I only see my router as the client as adguard is set as dns on the network level, which is what I would expect on the mac mini.

Edit: here are imgbb links for UK users ;-)

AdGuardHome and Proton VPN

Hi I am pretty new to this. I set up AdGuardHome on my homeassistant instance and set it as the dns provider for my pc. I also use proton vpn. I turned on "Allow LAN connections" and set the 192.168.xxx.xxx adress of my adguardhome as the custom dns server. But it doesn't seem to work when I am connected to the vpn but it works fine when I am not connected to the vpn

Please help!

Samsung phone and tablet bypass Adguard Home DNS

DNS filtering works on my windows laptop. Anyone with experience on how to force the phone to use Adguard Home DNS without turning off private DNS - automatic option as that would make my DNS less secure while in public?

Ad Guard Home (Docker) not resoling host names for clients (on Unifi)

I have a UDM. On one of my servers, I am running the Ad Guard Home docker. Everything is working properly. Ad Guard's Query Log shows me client IPs.

I want it to show hostnames.

I have 3 VLANs on my UDM and I created 3 clients with those IP ranges.

I have it configured to rerverse lookup private IPs.

Not sure what is wrong?

I have added screenshots to https://imgur.com/a/coyfZ0M.

AdGuard Home DNS requests timing out on Ubuntu Server

AdGuard Home DNS requests timing out on Ubuntu Server

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up AdGuard Home on Ubuntu Server, but DNS queries through AdGuard Home keep timing out.

AdGuard Home starts correctly and listens on port 53, and the web dashboard is accessible.

However:

dig .168.0.100 google.com

returns:

;; communications error to 192.168.0.100#53: timed out
;; no servers could be reached

The same happens locally:

dig u/127.0.0.1 google.com

Interestingly, the Ubuntu server itself can resolve DNS normally through the router. I confirmed with tcpdump that DNS requests to the router receive valid responses.

UFW is also inactive.

The AdGuard Home logs show that the upstream DNS is timing out. I initially configured Quad9:

https://dns10.quad9.net/dns-query

The logs contain:

exchanging with 9.9.9.10:53 over udp: read udp ...: i/o timeout

and also errors about the IPv6 Quad9 addresses being unreachable.

So it seems like:

Ubuntu → router DNS works

but:

AdGuard Home → upstream DNS does not work

What could cause AdGuard Home to be unable to reach the upstream DNS servers while Ubuntu itself can resolve DNS normally?

I'm running AdGuard Home directly on Ubuntu Server, not Docker.

Thanks!

Adguard Home Took Out My Cat’s Dry Food Feeder

I setup Adguard Home 2 days ago on my Linux Debian server and routed all network traffic through it with a dnsmasq to my server’s IP address and it seemed to have worked fine, but then yesterday morning I shut it down and removed the masq because it had a hiccup of some kind and completely annihilated both of cat’s RFID automatic feeders. They still don’t work and I know it was Adguard Home because it had been working for 2 years across 2 separate states and 3 different apartments all with the same internet provider before yesterday. I want to use Adguard Home but it was messing with too many IOT devices and non phone/laptop devices even with unblocking websites and such.

Is there any advice to not have any of this happen again?
