OpenWrt AdGuard Home 101 ( DNSMASQ )

The NextDNS client on OpenWRT is problematic. Before discovering AdGuardHome, I have made a ticket on the NextDNS Support and I was recommended to use AdGuardHome and just using NextDNS as my upstream server.

Network Latency Issues - Philippines - Bug Reports - NextDNS Help Center

So my current setup:

  1. All devices that supports NextDNS (Apple devices mainly, will use the NextDNS Profile)
  2. All devices that do not natively support NextDNS or requires running an app to function goes to AGH.

Both NextDNS and AGH use the same list. OISD + 1Hosts (Lite).

In the end, I would be using NextDNS over AdGuard's browsing security service

And NextDNS just overtook Google in the DNS Performance Charts.
