• 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 / about 1 month 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

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

  I've used ControlD [https://controld.com/] for this and liked it. Does anyone know how NextDNS compares to it? ControlD has worked well for me, outside a few UI complaints I have with their site. I do have some concerns with trust as I don't know much about ControlD, and I'd rather use the most trusted service for this. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

The Firefox Focus app on iOS does not sync with my Firefox account so that's not an option either. Sure, I could use a different... Source: 6 months ago

• VPN use is at an all-time high – but are people safe?

  That's precisely what I use it for. However, lately, I've been using [controld](https://controld.com) to geo-shift without having to change connections. It works really well for that. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• For those without paid Reddit, the Kardashians TV show has invaded our lives without our consent. I will not ever watch this show and actively hope for it's destruction.

  Adguard also has an app. It works by mimicking a VPN and denying traffic to add and tracking servers. Source: 11 months ago

• Best premium apps u can't live without

  One of my favorites is Adguard a simple local vpn that removes ads, even for some apps. Works great and honestly I can't imagine my phone without it (i have no root so it is perfect for me). Source: 11 months ago

• What's your one of a kind app? an app that gets the job done for its type

  Adguard the best to remove ads, however I had issues when I switch from network data to wifi, other than that it's great. Source: 12 months ago

• Is there an option to turn off internet access on specific apps ?

  AdGuard not only eliminates ads, but allows you to regulate internet access for individual apps. Source: 12 months ago
