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?

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.

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.
Codeberg.orgadguard-home-cm-repositoryThis repository features OpenTofu code integrated with a Forgejo Actions Pipeline, designed to deploy and synchronize the configuration of AdGuard Home across all nodes.
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
- Hardware: #RaspberryPi500 (8 GB RAM, 512 GB SD card) #RPi #RPi500 #SingleBoardComputers #HomeLab
- OS: #Stormux, an accessible #Linux distro based on #ArchLinuxARM #LinuxAccessibility #AccessibleTech
Infrastructure & Networking
- Dashboard: #Glance (#Docker) #DockerApps
- Reverse Proxy: #Caddy
- DNS: #Cloudflare
- Domain Registrar: #Porkbun
- Networking & Remote Access: #Tailscale (non-Docker), love its SSH agent and magic DNS features. #NetworkSecurity
Security & Monitoring
- Ad Blocking: #AdGuardHome (non-Docker). Previously used PiHole but find AdGuardHome slightly faster. #PrivacyTools
- Server Monitoring: #Beszel (non-Docker). Tried Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager (accessible but overkill) and Netdata (poor screen reader accessibility). Beszel isn't perfect but best compromise so far. #ServerMonitoring
- Server Overview: #Cockpit (non-Docker)
- Security Tools: #Fail2ban, #FirewallD, #ClamAV, and #Rkhunter (non-Docker). Tried CrowdSec but couldn't get it working on Stormux. #CyberSecurity
- Service Uptime Monitoring: #UptimeKuma (Docker), accessible and easy to use. #MonitoringTools
Authentication & Identity Management
- Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
- LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
#AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement
Productivity & Personal Tools
- Docker Management: #Dockge (Docker). More accessible than Portainer; main issue is built-in terminal isn't readable with screen readers. #DockerCompose
- Docker Logs Viewer: #Dozzle (Docker), great web interface and easy searching.
- Git Hosting: #Forgejo (non-Docker), my personal Git server. #GitServer
- Backups: #IDrive (non-Docker), backs up all my devices easily. #BackupSolutions
- Notes: #Joplin server (Docker). Accessibility improving; love the VSCode extension. #NoteTakingApps
- Bookmarks: #Linkding (Docker). Accessible bookmark manager with good browser extension support. #BookmarkManager
- Recipes: #Mealie (Docker), starting to learn cooking!
#CookingApps - RSS Feeds: #Miniflux (non-Docker), excellent accessibility. Originally wanted better podcast support but other options had major accessibility issues. #RSSReader
- Automation & Workflows: #N8N (Docker). Haven't explored deeply yet—open to ideas! #AutomationTools #WorkflowAutomation
- Pastebin Service: #PrivateBin (non-Docker). Considering alternatives or CLI tool for easier console access. #PastebinAlternative
- File Sharing & Editing: #Samba (non-Docker), easy file management from my Windows 11 mini PC. #FileSharing #Windows11
- Search Engine: #SearXNG (non-Docker), accessible and searches multiple engines at once. #PrivacySearchEngine
- IRC Client: #TheLounge (non-Docker). Some accessibility issues but best I've found so far for always-connected IRC. #IRCClient
- Read Later Service: #Wallabag (Docker). Biggest issue is Wallabagger Chrome extension doesn't work for me yet. #ReadItLater
Notifications & Development Workflow
- Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
- Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote
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:
- Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
- Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.
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.

@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

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!

In the past few days, I set up an additional #NginxProxyManager instance to serve as a reverse proxy for my new internal #TLD. 
It also provides #LetsEncrypt certificates to ensure a secure connection. My #AdGuardHome #DNS server ensures everything works correctly. 
I've been freaking out about my future safety since election. Tightened up e-privacy:

#HomeLab update!
I'm pretty comfy with what I've created for myself, but in a long run I have no idea how those YouTubers are able to milk the hell of this for so long...
I must say I've got pretty comfortable with #Docker and containers. It's like updating an operating system while keeping your settings and apps. Easy and mostly painless.
I just update #UptimeKuma, #HomeBridge, #Transmission, #AdGuardHome, #Plex and #HomeAssistant and it all works fine!
Schütze dein Netzwerk! 
In Netzwerken mit IoT-Geräten nutzen viele dieser Geräte voreingestellte #DNS-Server von Google oder Cloudflare, die das Blockieren von Werbung und Trackern unterlaufen können.
@kuketzblog zeigt, wie du dein #PiHole oder #AdGuardHome in ein Heimnetzwerk mit #FritzBox integrierst und sicherstellst, dass alle DNS-Anfragen über den Pi-hole laufen. Damit bleibt dein Netzwerk sicher und werbefrei!

I just worked out that on average a DNS query has been made on my home network nearly every second for the past 90 days. About a quarter are blocked by adguard home (down from a third a month or so ago).
