ControlD VS AdGuard DNS

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

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

At the bottom of this link https://adguard-dns.io/en/welcome.html, is a world map with the AdGuard servers on it.

If they show up with small delays then report the 94.140.14.59 as being misconfigured, My current understanding is the public server number is supposed to route you to the closest/fastest...

So I've been looking for a DNS solution for my home. I looked at the options and settled on AdGuard Home. As I was going to install it I came across Adguard DNS, more particularly this one. Source: 5 months ago

#3. You can swipe in from the left edge of the screen to go back usually (also get AdGuard DNS to reduce ads in non-browser apps, since you're already using Brave). Source: 10 months ago

- If you are worried about what you might get while browsing the internet: Please use an adblocker (uBlock Origin) while browsing, and you can also use a DNS that will protect you. See https://adguard-dns.io/en/welcome.html . It is completely free. Source: 11 months ago
