# DNS Ad Blocker (Modern)
Network-wide DNS ad/tracker blocker, powered by AdGuard Home.
## vs Pi-hole (#232)
Functionally similar; AdGuard Home has built-in DoH/DoT/DoQ servers (Pi-hole needs a separate Unbound/cloudflared layer) and a slicker UI.
## DoH/DoT/DoQ works in container infra
While traditional DNS over UDP/53 is degraded by TCP-only container infra (same caveat as Pi-hole), **AdGuard Home's encrypted DNS (DoH/DoT/DoQ) is TCP-based** and works correctly. Configure your devices to use the DoH/DoT endpoint and you get full functionality.
## Features
- Block lists (50+ bundled lists + custom)
- Per-client filtering rules
- DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) + DoT (DNS-over-TLS) + DoQ (DNS-over-QUIC) server
- DHCP server (optional)
- Parental controls + safe browsing
- Query log + real-time stats
- REST API
## Packaging
Thin wrapper around the official `adguard/adguardhome:latest` image. Config + DB at `/opt/adguardhome`.
