   They make the already great wireguard even better! Installation and configuration is a breeze, can easily connect to machines behind firewall(s) without altering anything.

   Definitely made life easier.

• 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 / 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 / 4 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 / 4 months ago

• Firefox and ads on iOS

  Firefox is my daily in macOS, iOS and Windows. It is great and I love the syncing. The #1 companion on the desktop is uBlock Origin but on iOS I really miss an adblocker. As a workaround I block adds via DNS with Control D (https://controld.com/) but I prefer an extension on the phone. 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: 8 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 / 12 months ago
