Why it is useful
Not everyone feels at ease adding devices through the Dashboard. For instance, if you’re a system administrator setting up multiple corporate devices simultaneously, you’ll want to minimize manual tasks as much as possible.
You can create a connection link and use it in the device settings. Your device will be detected and automatically connected to the server.
How to configure automatic connection
- Open the Dashboard and select the required server.
- Go to Devices.
- Enable the option to connect devices automatically.
Now you can automatically connect your device to the server by creating a special address that includes the device name, device type, and current server ID. Let’s explore what these addresses look like and the rules for creating them.
Examples of automatic connection addresses
tls://adr-{Your_Server_ID}-AdGuard-Test-Device.d.adguard-dns.com
— this will automatically create anAndroid
device with theDNS-over-TLS
protocol namedAdGuard Test Device
https://d.adguard-dns.com/dns-query/win-{Your_Server_ID}-John-Doe
— this will automatically create aWindows
device with theDNS-over-HTTPS
protocol namedJohn Doe
quic://ios-73f78a1d-Mary-Sue.d.adguard-dns.com
— this will automatically create aiOS
device with theDNS-over-QUIC
protocol namedMary Sue
