AdGuard Home is a network-wide software for blocking ads & tracking. After you set it up, it'll cover ALL your home devices, and you don't need any client-side software for that.

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 servers -- both share a lot of common code.

Acknowledgments

This software wouldn't have been possible without:

• Go and it's libraries:
  • packr
  • gcache
  • miekg's dns
  • go-yaml
  • service
  • dnsproxy
• Node.js and it's libraries:
  • React.js
  • Tabler
  • And many more node.js packages.
• whotracks.me data

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 for AdGuard DNS service, it seemed like an overkill for Home as it impeded with Home features that we plan to implement.

For a full list of all node.js packages in use, please take a look at client/package.json file.
