Adguard Apk
Ashely Wolfgram
I had a few years Nextcloud and Piholr running on the same raspberry pi. So far no issue you just have to give the adguard/pihole webUi another port. Did this via docker which makes it easy to give the container different ports
The installation is relatively simple. The corresponding release must be downloaded and unpacked.
The application starts via ./AdguardHome and all necessary settings can be made via the web interface.
AdGuardHome supports TLS DNS for more privacy. Dhe dns requests are much slower though. some dns servers are sometimes down and somehow it is still a bit buggy. sometimes AdGuardHome crashes if you do the upstream test more often.
The standard AdGuard DNS servers "only" provide standard filtering. You can't configure the filters/blocklists/whitelists/web services (Facebook, WhatsApp, Amazon, ...) that are to be blocked. Furthermore you have to use an adguard server as dns server. with the home variant you can use secure dns over tls servers which do not log.
I am quite impressed with this AdGuard Home after trying it out (mostly) successfully on my WRT3200ACM. Wickedly thorough with regex filtering, parental control, and so much more. It's got a very responsive and well designed web UI as well.
The only issue that I have right now with AdGuard Home on my WRT3200ACM is that AdGaurd Home itself does not seem to get network access and therefore continues to fail at any kind of network connectivity such as checking for updates, filter updates, etc. All network connectivity of AdGaurd Home itself seems to fail with certificate related issues. I'm not referring to devices connecting to network, but simply AdGaurd Home itself. Any ideas what would cause this?
AdGuard Home is open source, as far as I understand. Hopefully somebody, maybe even AdGuard Team themselves, can create these as individual .ipk releases at some point in the future. It will get more users testing their program as well.
No, I don't have either of those packages installed. I run mostly default OpenWrt settings so I usually don't stray too far from defaults. I am running 19.07 RC2 right now. I just went ahead and updated lists, installed those packages that you suggested. Now that I have those installed, I will try AdGuard Home again in the next hour or so. Thank you for your help.
Where is the best location within the file system to store the AdGuardHome binary so that it is appropriate for execution and for storing it's configuration file? (currently just executing from Tmp just during my testing phase before I decide to implement fully)
I can imagine that Adguard Home wants to use systemctl when sudo ./AdGuardHome -s install is called. systemd or systemctl is responsible for starting and running all services under Linux. OpenWrt is init based and does not use SystemD
I found a nice, functional luci-app-adguardhome ( -app-adguardhome). The development appears to be in Chinese, however, the web UI itself shows in English on my device and works great for configuring many options for AdGuardHome. After you install it, you just have to change the luci-app-adguardhome to match the settings that you have for AdGuardHome (binary locations, work dir, port, etc.) and it will recognize everything from that point and you can make changes as needed.
I tried (and failed) today because I was curious about per-device AdGuardHome settings based on MAC addresses but it requires that you use the DHCP functionality. I will try again tomorrow and see where I went wrong. Likely due to odhcp already listening on port 67, but will dig in more when I have more time.
I am really pleased that it works so well! I have not done anything with the dhcp setting yet. I think this will break some openwrt settings. Thanks for the tip with the luci app. Is it possible to change more settings there? Probably it reads the Adguard Home config!?
I have been running AdGuaradHome successfully on my network of approx. 9-10 devices for a little bit over a week now and figured I would provide some feedback in case it may be beneficial to others here.
Adblock syntax:
AdGuardHome is, at the moment, is only a little bit more than just a DNS sinkhole system like many others at the moment. Although the AdGuard Team does have big aspirations to continue making it do much more.
There is an underlying component of AdGuardHome called urlfilter which does much of the filtering and Adblock syntax parsing. They have a TODO list that is interesting and shows features that are complete and also upcoming features that relate to Adblock syntax. See urlfilter TODO list here:
DHCP server and MAC filtering:
AdGuardHome has it's own built in DHCP server. I was interesting in MAC address filtering for the 9-10 devices on my network and wanted more granular control. Initially, I could not initiate AGH's built in DHCP server because it could not bind to port 67 because dnsmasq had access.
The dnsmasq option dhcp-alternate-port solved my issue. Setting that option, rebooting the router or restarting dnsmasq, switched dnsmasq to bind to ports 1067 and 1068 thus freeing up port 67. AGH's DHCP server is now able to initiate and bind to port 67 and working flawlessly.
Now, dhcp-alternate-port was tricky to get working correctly. I tried every possible way within etc/config/dhcp to get it working such as adding option dhcp-alternate-port or option dhcp-alternate-port '1067 1068' to in various sections within the etc/config/dhcp file but every attempt failed. The only way that was successful for me was to add one single line dhcp-alternate-port to the etc/dnsmasq.conf file.
luci-app-adguardhome:
I had mentioned this in my most recent post. I used it briefly but have since removed it. It is quite complex but I prefer simplicity myself. Anyway, it used an init.d script to facilitate in being able to change the work-dir, bin path, config path, etc. Much of these can be changed with command line arguments anyway. It can also compress the AdGuardHome binary as well. So while it is quite neat and comprehensive, I prefer to do many things manually myself and keep things simple.
Bug Fixes & Development:
The last thing that I wanted to touch on was that the development on Github seems quite active and the developers follow up on reported bugs and suggestions quite quickly. I reported one minor bug and it was fixed within a couple of days.
I would not be so enthusiastic about this one. As it will need a proxy, with some (serious) performance impact. Especially, in case it should also work for https, which then will need installation of special cert on client device. And, even then, it will not always work, because of HSTS. So, for me it sounds more like "marketing hype".
Different story for well established browser plugins, though.
Thanks for your tips. I've managed to have AdGuardHome starting on my router after the rc.local command included 'start-stop-daemon -S -b -x /pathtoAGH/AdGuardHome'. It was previously hanging the boot process as there are other init.d processes after rc.local.
I've a question though. I've disabled DHCP in OpenWrt to use the DHCP capability of AGH. My expectation was that this would lead to client identification. However, all my DNS queries are labelled with the rourter's IP address. I can't seem to be able to have per client/MAC address filtering even with DHCP leases attributed to clients in AGH's DHCP section.
Is there any flag or option in dnsmasq that sends DNS queries with a header or additional client information that AGH can read? I've tried all options within luci but no luck. I've spent a large amount of time by trial and error and failed.
I am just looking for people using AdGuard Home in their Yunohost server.
Is the package GitHub - YunoHost-Apps/adguard_ynh: AdGuard Home package for YunoHost currently working ?
How is the load of the server with such king of app ?
I need to remove Adguard from my iMac, running Yosemite. But every time I tried to put it into trash a pop up message says "The item "Adguard" can't be moved to the Trash because it's open" when actually it is not OPEN. How to remove this?
For all has problem how to remover adguard or to continue in ads or you want to delete adguard first you need to go activity monitor>search for adguard>quir or press the x sign in upper leftside then thats it you can continue in the site you want to go and you can delete the app now. thank me later your friendly neighborhood wenskie
I am having the same problem. Mostly, I use Chrome and Firefox - rarely use Safari. I have opened 'Tools' in Chrome and 'Add-Ons' in Firefox but I dont see Adguard in either place. When I open Safari it isnt there.
annoying as Adguard asks me to update it often AND I would simply like to not have it monitoring my activity.
Ad Guard is a russian company. After revelations about the involvement of kapersky in the spying activities of the russian gov, this omission seems to me suspicious. You would believe they don't want you to remove the certificate which is used to subvert all other certificates on the system to monitor https connection.
Hi, I just managed to uninstall Adguard and was having the same problem as you. You have to open Safari, then from the "Safari"menu, click on the dropdown list "Preferences", then a new window will open and from the top menu icons, select "Extensions", then you should see the Adguard app icon appear in the window, and you will see a button where you can click to "uninstall". Then that's it!
Don't worry - it's quick and painless! Just click below, and once you're logged in we'll bring you right back here and post your question. We'll remember what you've already typed in so you won't have to do it again.
