26.03.2025: AdGuard Home

AdGuard Home is a powerful open source software for filtering DNS requests. It enables companies to block unwanted or dangerous websites by filtering advertising networks, tracking services and potentially harmful domains at DNS level.

In companies, the use of AdGuard Home offers numerous advantages: It improves network security by blocking phishing and malware domains, reduces distraction from advertising and ensures more efficient bandwidth usage. It also contributes to data protection by preventing tracking requests and thus better protecting sensitive company data. Centralized management and customizability make AdGuard Home an ideal solution for a secure and productive IT environment.

AdGuard Home is open source software and is published under the GPL 3.0 license. This means:

A company can use AdGuard Home free of charge (privately and commercially)

There is no commercial license requirement for using the software.

The source code is open, so companies can adapt it as long as they comply with the license terms (e.g. disclose changes if they are redistributed).

I would be happy to help you operate an AdGuard service in your company network – be it as your ownenständige Maschine oder als Proxmox LXC Container.
