Download AdGuard Home 0.106.0

Adguard Home version 0.106 has been released. With this software, a DNS server can be set up at home to block advertisements and malware on the entire network, among other things. It is therefore comparable to Pi-hole. Adguard Home runs on a machine with Windows, macOS, Linux or FreeBSD and is also capable of phishing protection and has parental control. The program can be discussed on our own forum. The changelog for this release looks like this:

AdGuard Home v0.106.0

Quite a lot of changes this time around, even if there aren’t as many standouts as in some of the previous updates. We’re sure that you’ll be able to find a line or two in the changelog that speaks to you!

And one of the reasons for that is the constant support from the community. Special thanks to our open source contributors: @jvoisin and @Paraphraser, as well as to everyone who filed issues, added translations, and helped us to test this release!

The ability to set up custom upstreams to resolve PTR queries for local addresses and to disable the automatic resolving of clients’ addresses (#2704)

This option will improve your DNS privacy when it comes to addressing local resources. Give it a go unless you want to share your private data with googles of the world.

Search by clients’ names in the query log (#1273)

There’s not much that can be said about this feature, it’s quite self-explanatory: now you can search up queries by specific clients.

However, we wanted to highlight it anyway since so many of you have asked for it for quite a while. Hopefully, we delivered!
