[QUOTE="vertigo, post: 719761, member: 70928"] I'm not talking about running AdGuard on Linux. I'm talking about setting up a Rpi with Pi-Hole on it and running that as the DNS server for the house, so all clients, no matter the OS (Windows, Linux, Android, etc) will go through that and therefore have ads removed. So if I'm running AdGuard on my Windows PC or my Android phone, AdGuard will only have to remove the ads that make it through PH. AdGuard wouldn't be working with Linux any more than it does when connecting to an internet server, most of which are running Unix or Linux. Although, now that you mention that, I didn't realize it doesn't run on Linux, and I wonder why, considering it does on Android and Mac/iOS. Can you or someone else provide more details as to what's better about the program vs the DNS server? I've already bought it, and even if they were the same the app would still have [I]some[/I] use (blocking ads on my phone while not at home, for example), but I'm curious. And I'm well aware of VPNs, though I'm also aware that [I]many[/I] of them, especially on Android, are insecure in one form or another, and often in multiple ways (i.e. IP leaking, poor/no encryption, questionable data retention policies, possibly monitoring your traffic themselves and selling your data). It would be nice if there were a simpler option for just hiding your surfing habits from the ISP but, now that I think of it, using a different DNS server wouldn't help since the traffic would still go through the ISP. The bullet point in that link you posted regarding DNS encryption with DNSCrypt is what got me thinking that. So what good is that feature, then? [/QUOTE]
