Server and settings

What is a server and how to use it​

When you set up Private AdGuard DNS, you'll encounter the term servers.

A server acts as the “profile” that you connect your devices to.

Servers include configurations that you can customize to your liking.

Upon creating an account, we automatically establish a server with default settings. You can choose to modify this server or create a new one.

For instance, you can have:

  • A server that allows all requests
  • A server that blocks adult content and certain services
  • A server that blocks adult content only during specific hours you choose

For more information on traffic filtering and blocking rules, check out the article “How to set up filtering in AdGuard DNS”.

If you're interested in specific settings, there are dedicated articles available for that:
