New Update AdGuard Home - Stable Updates Thread

Privacy protection center for you and your devices
Free and open source, powerful network-wide ads & trackers blocking DNS server.

AdGuard Home is a network-wide software for blocking ads and 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, and both share a lot of code.

Latest version AdGuard Home v0.107.61
Changelog:

What's worse than food poisoning? Cache poisoning, of course! In this update, we have fixed the vulnerability that was making AdGuard Home susceptible to cache poisoning attacks.

Acknowledgements​

A special thanks to Xiang Li for reporting the vulnerability, our community moderators team, as well as to everyone who filed and inspected issues, added translations, and helped us test this release!

Full changelog​

See also the v0.107.61 GitHub milestone.

Security​

• Any simultaneous requests that are considered duplicates will now only result in a single request to upstreams, reducing the chance of a cache poisoning attack succeeding. This is controlled by the new configuration object pending_requests, which has a single enabled property, set to true by default.
  NOTE: It's strongly recommended to leave it enabled, otherwise AdGuard Home will be vulnerable to untrusted clients.

Which DNS servers provide better advertisement blocking? Adguard or ConrolD?

If we talk about the paid version then ControlD has more features than AdGuard paid. But performance could vary depending on your region.
In AdGuard Home, you can use any DNS you want and then set DNS filter lists to block ads, malicious and phishing sites.

I have been using AdGuard Home for almost three months now - it is the best thing I have ever done for my home network!

I tried ControlD's ad blocking DNS and in just 10 minutes of surfing the web, I found too many broken websites. It's VERY aggressive. On the other hand, after more than two years of using AdGuard's Public DNS, I'm still yet to find a broken website.

My ad blocking combination is:

• Firefox (with ETP – Strict)
• uBlock Origin
• AdGuard Public DNS (set in Windows and Firefox)

I have tried both their free products.
For ad-blocking, they are identical.
I have not evaluated their malicious domains blocking capabilities.
