I cleared my log that day, and now, 6 days later, I'm at 14 Million requests!?? The list of clients is full of IPs with over 100k requests ...
ANY help with that?

Using Home Assistant, adguard home and an $8 smart outlet to avoid brain rot

Hey, other users of #AdGuardHome also seeing a brutal rise in request as of today? My tiny instance has seens something nearing 4 million requests today, with my normal rate being around 50k.
Kennt das jemand? Der Artikel ist reißerisch geschrieben, aber letztendlich soll dieser DNS Blocker ein bessere Ersatz für Pi hole oder Adguard Home darstellen.

@gcluley AD blocking and child protection in a way that you cannot control on your own is nothing better than censorship.
Better use something like #PiHole oder #AdGuardHome with a trustworthy DoH/DoT DNS server like the ones from @freifunkMUC or @digitalcourage.

There's a new #EU based and #GDPR compliant #DNS provider: #DNS4EU.

Time to set it up in #AdGuardHome.
PS: There's also the alternative #DNS0 https://www.dns0.eu

social.sengotta.net Ich betreibe eine redundante #AdGuardHome Umgebung, über die alle mobilen Endgeräte per #WireGuard (ebenfalls redundant) angebunden sind. Die Daten werden daher bereits auf #DNS-Ebene herausgefiltert.
Mir ging es eher darum aufzuzeigen, dass #Vodafone per Default tatsächlich EXTREM viele Daten verwertet und diese sicherlich nicht nur selbst verwertet, was auch durch die Datenschutzbestimmungen untermauert wird.
Immerhin kann man hier, im Gegensatz zu einigen anderen Diensteanbietern - z. B. #Microsoft - die Schnüffelei vollständig abschalten. Ich habe mir jedoch nicht die Mühe gemacht und die Logs überprüft, ob auch wirklich nichts mehr getrackt wird.
Hier übrigens ein interessanter Artikel zu #NextDNS. Wäre für mich keine empfehlenswerte Option.

I made my #AdGuardHome configuration public.
This is my solution to both store #adguard conf in code and continuously deploy it on many nodes. I also proposed some solutions to easily gather metrics and switch off/on ad protection. Everything is written in README.
I was a bit gutted that my blogs were erased when my server died. I have re-written this one about my AGH setup
Perhaps it will help someone install a network wide ad-blocker or help improve their own setup. It isn't perfect but it does the job for me.
What I recall was important from the last time: I do not have or run it on a Raspberry Pi or equivalent. It's an old laptop running PopOS and a virtual machine running Yunohost.
I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:
Hardware & OS
Infrastructure & Networking
Security & Monitoring
Authentication & Identity Management
Productivity & Personal Tools
Notifications & Development Workflow
Accessibility Focus ️
Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!
I've also experimented with:
I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services!
What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?
#SelfHosted #LinuxSelfHost #OpenSource #TechCommunity #FOSS #TechDIY
For less than $25 (RPi0, old power supply, spare Micro-USB cables) you can block most ads on the LAN and increase digital privacy by routing your DNS traffic through DoH. This is freaking amazing.
Wrote up an article on my AdGuard Home setup. I hope it is useful to some, even if it is myself in a wee while.
I am goign to try not to become a tech blogger!
TIL: turning on the Safe Search option for YouTube on AdGuard Home, makes YouTube turn on the restricted mode.
I thought it was my ISP...
@bleepbloop @MadeyeTheCarnaptious @suearcher @dee check out #searxng self-hosted metasearch engine, and integrates #invidious for ad free Youtube.
Ditching Google for search and email is great, but their surveillance advertising infrastructure is how they really monetise us. Something like #AdGuardHome is great way to #degoogle and reduce their ad based revenue.
I Love Free Software Day!
At the moment we want to thank:
@debian
@ansible
#netbird
#docker
#portainer
@ntfy
@Cockpit
#adguardhome
#searxng
@nlnetlabs for #unbound
@nextcloud
#vaultwarden
#wgeasy
#obtainium
We are currently working on a simpler solution for individuals to achieve more digital privacy in their homes.
Easy maintenance and more or less simple installation ;)

@fivexhotel assuming that were talking about someone running a few services like #nextcloud #adguardhome or #jellyfin and wanting to access those services away from their home LAN.
An off the cuff example, #tailscale #headscale or #nebula do this with an added layer of security on top whatever authentication is built into said hosted services.
@tailscale is particularly self-hosting novice friendly, though there are security/foss concerns that may put some folks off.
Hope this helps.
Self-Hosting Journey Update!
After weeks of work, I'm excited to share my self-hosted setup! I'm running everything on a Raspberry Pi 500 with Stormux (Arch Linux ARM-based), 8 GB RAM, and a 512 GB SD card (planning to upgrade to SSD or NAS as soon as I can afford it). Here's what I’ve built so far:
Services in Action:
- Development: Forgejo, Code-Server, Woodpecker CI
- Productivity: Joplin Server, Monica CRM, Homepage dashboard
- Monitoring: Prometheus + Alertmanager, Grafana, Netdata, Uptime Kuma
- Networking: AdGuardHome + Unbound, Tailscale VPN
- Tools: MiniFlux, Linkding, TheLounge
- Management: Portainer, Cockpit, Watchtower
Security & Access:
- Caddy + Cloudflare Zero Trust/Access for reverse proxy & SSO
- FirewallD + Fail2ban for extra protection
Emails Powered by Zoho ZeptoMail:
All email-capable services (e.g., Forgejo, Joplin) are configured for reliable notifications.
Backups: Using IDrive's 5 TB plan for peace of mind.
This journey has been challenging yet rewarding! I'd love to hear your thoughts—especially tips on scaling storage or optimizing performance. Let's chat!

Not only browser are spying or let websites spy you! Windows, MacOS on desktop computers and iOS and Android on mobile phones are spying directly on operating system level.
So if you (or your familiy members) own desktop computer(s), mobile phones and smart devices like TV, watches, etc. you might want to have a single network wide solution for this: #pihole or #adguardhome can be useful for you. In combination with a private #selfhosted #vpn with #wireguard you (and your familiy) can even take your #adblock with you everywhere on every device.
Just setup Pihole+Wireguard once, use it on all your devices and everywhere!
(at your home WiFi, with other WiFis/HotSpots, with your mobile data plan, in your country or in other countries)
See how this works and how to setup on my GitHub page: https://thomasmerz.github.io/pihole-wireguard-knowhow/
