Settings are stored in [YAML format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML), possible parameters that you can configure are listed below:
* `bind_host` — Web interface IP address to listen on
* `bind_port` — Web interface IP port to listen on
* `auth_name` — Web interface optional authorization username
* `auth_pass` — Web interface optional authorization password
* `dns` — DNS configuration section
* `port` — DNS server port to listen on
* `filtering_enabled` — Filtering of DNS requests based on filter lists
* `safebrowsing_enabled` — Filtering of DNS requests based on safebrowsing
* `safesearch_enabled` — Enforcing "Safe search" option for search engines, when possible
* `parental_enabled` — Parental control-based DNS requests filtering
* `parental_sensitivity` — Age group for parental control-based filtering, must be either 3, 10, 13 or 17
* `querylog_enabled` — Query logging (also used to calculate top 50 clients, blocked domains and requested domains for statistic purposes)
* `bootstrap_dns` — DNS server used for initial hostname resolution in case if upstream server name is a hostname
* `upstream_dns` — List of upstream DNS servers
* `bind_host` — Web interface IP address to listen on.
* `bind_port` — Web interface IP port to listen on.
* `auth_name` — Web interface optional authorization username.
* `auth_pass` — Web interface optional authorization password.
* `dns` — DNS configuration section.
* `port` — DNS server port to listen on.
* `protection_enabled` — Whether any kind of filtering and protection should be done, when off it works as a plain dns forwarder.
* `filtering_enabled` — Filtering of DNS requests based on filter lists.
* `blocked_response_ttl` — For how many seconds the clients should cache a filtered response. Low values are useful on LAN if you change filters very often, high values are useful to increase performance and save traffic.
* `querylog_enabled` — Query logging (also used to calculate top 50 clients, blocked domains and requested domains for statistical purposes).
* `ratelimit` — DDoS protection, specifies in how many packets per second a client should receive. Anything above that is silently dropped. To disable set 0, default is 20. Safe to disable if DNS server is not available from internet.
* `ratelimit_whitelist` — If you want exclude some IP addresses from ratelimiting but keep ratelimiting on for others, put them here.
* `refuse_any` — Another DDoS protection mechanism. Requests of type ANY are rarely needed, so refusing to serve them mitigates against attackers trying to use your DNS as a reflection. Safe to disable if DNS server is not available from internet.
* `bootstrap_dns` — DNS server used for initial hostname resolution in case if upstream server name is a hostname.
* `parental_sensitivity` — Age group for parental control-based filtering, must be either 3, 10, 13 or 17 if enabled.
* `parental_enabled` — Parental control-based DNS requests filtering.
* `safesearch_enabled` — Enforcing "Safe search" option for search engines, when possible.
* `safebrowsing_enabled` — Filtering of DNS requests based on safebrowsing.
* `upstream_dns` — List of upstream DNS servers.
* `filters` — List of filters, each filter has the following values:
* `ID` - filter ID (must be unique)
* `url` — URL pointing to the filter contents (filtering rules)
* `enabled` — Current filter's status (enabled/disabled)
* `user_rules` — User-specified filtering rules
* `enabled` — Current filter's status (enabled/disabled).
* `url` — URL pointing to the filter contents (filtering rules).
* `name` — Name of the filter. If it's an adguard syntax filter it will get updated automatically, otherwise it stays unchanged.
* `last_updated` — Time when the filter was last updated from server.
* `ID` - filter ID (must be unique).
* `user_rules` — User-specified filtering rules.
Removing an entry from settings file will reset it to the default value. Deleting the file will reset all settings to the default values.

You might have seen that coredns was mentioned here before — we've stopped using it in AdGuardHome. While we still use it on our servers, it seemed like an overkill and it impeded with Home features that we wanted to implement.
You might have seen that [CoreDNS](https://coredns.io) was mentioned here before — we've stopped using it in AdGuardHome. While we still use it on our servers for [AdGuard DNS](https://adguard.com/adguard-dns/overview.html) service, it seemed like an overkill for Home as it impeded with Home features that we plan to implement.
