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.

## 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.**
|
||||

|
||||
### 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.

|
||||
### 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.

### 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.
