Frequently Asked Questions

What are some key features you can take advantage of with a local installation?
  • 1. DHCP Server
    • Local: When AdGuard Home is installed locally, it can act as the DHCP server for your network. This allows you to assign IP addresses to devices in your network and manage them directly.
    • Cloud: In a cloud-based setup, DHCP functionality is generally not available because the cloud instance does not have control over the local network's IP addressing.

    2. Local DNS Resolution
    • Local: AdGuard Home installed locally allows you to resolve DNS queries within your local network without needing an internet connection. This is especially useful for local network services, internal domain names, or managing devices that don’t rely on external DNS servers.
    • Cloud: Cloud-installed AdGuard Home requires an internet connection to process DNS queries, which means any local DNS needs are typically resolved by your router or another local DNS server, not AdGuard Home.

    3. Custom DNS Settings for Local Devices
    • Local: When running AdGuard Home locally, you can configure custom DNS settings specifically for your local network. This is beneficial for network-wide DNS filtering or setting up specific DNS routes for devices within your network.
    • Cloud: In the cloud, custom DNS settings for local devices become challenging because devices would need to route DNS traffic through the cloud server, which is not ideal for network performance and privacy.

    4. Improved Privacy
    • Local: A local AdGuard Home installation ensures that all DNS traffic remains within your private network, offering a higher level of privacy since you don’t have to rely on third-party services to resolve DNS queries.
    • Cloud: In the cloud, all DNS queries are sent over the internet to the cloud service, which could be susceptible to data logging, surveillance, or security risks if not configured properly.

    5. Better Control Over Local Network
    • Local: Running AdGuard Home locally allows you to have full control over DNS queries, filtering, and firewall rules directly on your local network. You can tailor DNS settings specifically for the types of devices connected to your network.
    • Cloud: In a cloud setup, you lose fine control over your local network, as DNS queries must first traverse the internet to reach the cloud server, potentially adding latency and reducing flexibility.

    6. Reduced Latency
    • Local: Since DNS queries are handled locally, there is minimal latency for resolving addresses and filtering ads or malicious domains, ensuring faster performance.
    • Cloud: Cloud-based DNS resolution introduces additional network latency, as queries must be sent to an external server over the internet before a response can be received.

    7. Network-Wide Ad Blocking Without Cloud Dependency
    • Local: AdGuard Home installed locally can block ads and trackers on all devices within your network without the need for constant cloud connectivity. This is particularly advantageous for privacy and efficiency.
    • Cloud: In a cloud setup, the ad-blocking features are dependent on your internet connection and the availability of the cloud service.

    8. Custom Blocklists and Filters for Local Devices
    • Local: AdGuard Home installed locally gives you the flexibility to use custom blocklists and filters for specific devices, especially in a scenario where you need to apply different filtering rules based on device type or user.
    • Cloud: While you can still use custom blocklists in the cloud version of AdGuard Home, applying them based on device-specific or network-specific configurations becomes more complex and less efficient.

    9. Independent Network Operation
    • Local: AdGuard Home running locally operates completely independently of the cloud, meaning your network can continue functioning and benefiting from DNS filtering even if the internet connection is down or cloud services are unavailable.
    • Cloud: A cloud-based AdGuard Home requires an active internet connection to function, and if the internet or the cloud service goes down, DNS filtering ceases to work.

    10. Integration with Local Devices and Services
    • Local: When AdGuard Home is installed on a local device, it can be easily integrated with other local network services, such as firewalls, routers, and IoT devices, enabling seamless coordination and configuration.
    • Cloud: Integration with local devices or services becomes more complicated, as it involves routing traffic through the internet, potentially introducing security risks or compatibility issues.

    By running AdGuard Home locally, you gain several advantages in terms of privacy, control, and performance. The key benefits, such as the ability to manage local DNS settings, use a local DHCP server, reduce latency, and have better control over local network configurations, make it a preferred choice for home users, schools or businesses who want more flexibility and privacy. In contrast, cloud-installed AdGuard Home is useful for centralized management but lacks many of the features that local installations provide.
