• Suspicious popup on M1 MacBook Pro 4/4

  Younglings? You also should consider installing AdGuard Home on a mini PC, Raspberry Pi, etc. And using it for your home DNS server. AdGuard Home has a Family protection mode that blocks inappropriate sites and enforces safe browsing while also blocking ads and trackers. Source: 5 months ago

• NO NEWS!

  Maybe try adguard home which is similar to pihole but has a feature where you can block specific websites and social media so seems more like what you are looking for: https://adguard.com/en/adguard-home/overview.html. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ad Blocking without PiHole or other new hardware

  You don't need a Raspberry Pi to run Pi-hole. You can run it in Docker. AdGuard Home is an alternative to Pi-hole. Source: about 1 year ago

• Solution for unreachable "Fritz.box" Site while using a DNS like Googles 8.8.8.8

  However, personally I recommend a selfhosted variant like PiHole or Adguard Home, which offer both network wide adblocking. The latter offers an easier setup and features out of the box. Source: about 1 year ago

• Adguard DNS constantly drops the connection, how to solve it?

  You might also consider running AdGuard Home locally and pointing your devices to that instead. Then you can run any DNS server and still have adblocking. There is also Control D as an alternative to the AdGuard DNS servers if you don't want to run a local resolver. Source: about 1 year ago

• All Fritz Box modems have been hijacked

  Block 45.76.93.104 and 2001:19f0:6c00:1b0e:5400:4ff:fecd:7828 at the firewall if possible. Ensure that DNS-over-HTTP (DoH) is enabled where it can be. Set upstream DNS servers that block malware, such as 1.1.1.2 or NextDNS Delete "fritz.box" from the domain search list in DNS settings. Educate your parents to be cautious about directly typing domain names or searching from the OmniBox. https://nextdns.io/... - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Ask HN: Which tools are the best for internet safety for kids?

  I've tried hosted Pi-Hole and AdGuard Home. They are good as long as I'm around to fix stuffs. Then I tested something which can be global (home) and also for individual devices -- Control-D, NextDNS, and Adguard DNS. All of them works pretty well. If I really have to choose, then it would be in the order of NextDNS > Control-D > AdGuard DNS. Affiliated with none, and have decided to subscribe to all three to... - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago

• Ask HN: Which tools are the best for internet safety for kids?

  I really like NextDNS. It's very cheap ($1.99/mo) and has an app (macOS/Windows/iOS/Android) that provides filtering/monitoring on the go, even when they aren't at home. https://nextdns.io. - Source: Hacker News / 28 days ago

• Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking

  Okay but NextDNS' own homepage says it "blocks ads and trackers on websites and in apps" - https://nextdns.io. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking

  I used Pi-Hole, then went to NextDNS, then to AdGuard DNS, tinkered with AdGuard Home, and currently testing Control-D. They are all actually pretty good, similar features, and it has become just a matter of personal choice. In all fairness, when I have some time and can invest in decent hardwares, I might go back to AdGuard Home with one of the paid services as backup for travel, and when for the other family... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
