A quick DNS Benchmark check showed that Adguard's DNS servers perform equally well as Cloudflare DNS servers, Google DNS, or Open DNS.
AdGuard DNS blocks requests to "known" tracking or advertisement domains automatically. The main difference between the Standard and Family Protection servers is that the latter blocks content inappropriate to minors as well.
These built-in protections are never 100% but they block a good share of content automatically.
Russian company AdGuard is best known for its (paid) ad-blocking solution. The DNS server is free of charge and can be used by anyone.
Some users may not want to send their entire DNS traffic to a Russian company; others may distrust Google or Cloudflare, or their ISP. Those who want to be in control may want to take a look at Pi Hole instead, a local solution based on Raspberry Pi devices.
AdGuard DNS
AdGuard DNS is not a new service but it has been released as a final version in December 2018. The service features two different DNS server pairs that users may add to their device:- Standard: 176.103.130.130 and 176.103.130.131
- Family protection: 176.103.130.132 and 176.103.130.134
- DNS-over-TLS: dns.adguard.com (Default) or dns-family.adguard.com (Family Protection)
- DNS-over-HTTPS: https://dns.adguard.com/dns-query (Default) or https://dns-family.adguard.com/dns-query (Family Protection)
