AdGuard VPN: Router Setup

Ads and trackers follow you onto every screen at home. Change one router setting, its DNS servers, and the phones, laptops, tablets, TVs and consoles on your home network get ad and tracker filtering from AdGuard DNS, with nothing to install on each device.

AdGuard VPN: Router Setup walks you through that change in plain language, for your router, at your own pace.

ROUTER GUIDES FOR 20+ BRANDS
Search 26 guides for popular home routers, mesh systems, open-source firmware and provider boxes. Each guide shows the admin address to open, the menu path to the DNS settings, the field names and notes worth knowing. Device guides cover phones, computers, TVs and game consoles.

A CHECKLIST MADE FOR YOUR ROUTER
Enter your router's brand, model, firmware, admin address, connection and provider, and the app builds a plan in five phases: Prepare, Sign in, Change DNS, IPv6 & encryption, Verify. Tick off steps, keep notes and come back to saved plans anytime.

CHOOSE YOUR PROTECTION
• Ad blocking: blocks ads, trackers and phishing (94.140.14.14 and 94.140.15.15)
• Family: everything in Ad blocking, plus adult sites and enforced safe search
• No filtering: private lookups with no blocking, useful for troubleshooting
• Custom: your own DNS servers
IPv6 addresses and encrypted DNS values (DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-QUIC) are ready to copy.

FIX PROBLEMS IN A FEW TAPS
Eight troubleshooting trees lead from a symptom to a fix: no internet after the change, ads still showing, one device not filtered, slow sites, a broken site or app, trouble signing in to the router, filtering that works only sometimes, locked DNS fields. The filtering check tests whether this device's lookups are filtered right now.

STUCK? ASK THE AI
The AI assistant answers router questions in plain words and can suggest tips for a saved plan. AI answers are labeled and can be wrong. Nothing is sent until you allow it, and you can turn AI answers off in Settings. Up to 25 answers a day.

TRY IT WITHOUT YOUR ROUTER
Not at home? On the empty Plans tab, tap "Try a sample plan" to explore a ready-made checklist. The sample is clearly labeled and removed in one tap.

HONEST BY DESIGN
• "VPN" is part of the brand name. This app is a setup assistant with no VPN, tunnel or proxy, and it doesn't change network settings by itself.
• No Wi-Fi scanning, no accounts, no ads and no tracking.
• Plans are saved only on your device; plan details are sent only when you ask the AI to use them. The app never asks for your router password.
• Free, with no in-app purchases.

DNS filtering works by domain name, so ads served from the same domain as the content, such as some video ads, may still appear.
