Running Private Adguard Server on Cloud (Linode)

AdGuard Home is a personal internet guardian blocking ads, trackers, and malicious content across all network devices. Cloud-based deployment offers on-the-go protection and centralized control, enhancing privacy. Setting up on Linode involves creating an account, choosing a plan, and installing AdGuard Home via SSH. Post-installation, access the web interface at the provided IP address:3000 to configure settings and credentials. Integrating with your router requires configuring the DNS settings to use AdGuard Home's IP address. Fine-tuning involves customizing settings like parental controls, DNS providers, and adding custom blocklists. Enhance security by enabling DNSSEC and load balancing for optimal performance. Adding custom filtering rules allows for more granular control over blocked content. Utilizing DNS rewrites simplifies access to the AdGuard Home dashboard via a custom domain. Overall, AdGuard Home provides a robust and customizable solution for enhanced online security and privacy.
