Hi everyone, I did stumble across adguard and was thinking about buying a family lifetime license (for the apps, not talking about adguard home here).
I really like that there is a tracking blocker included, the app looks clean and easy to use for all family members. They also have an app for android TV which might be interesting.
I trust on pihole and ublock origin, but I am unsure about aguard (in general unsure about privacy oriented companies). When it comes to privacy and security I always try to go for community-driven open source projects.
What are your opinions on adguard? You think it’s safe/worth to use?
Yep, adguard is a bit shady, besides it was founded as a Russian company. The fact that they do SSL interception also raises a few extra concerns.
Why does that matter?
That is only if you use it on a phone as it kinda runs like a VPN, right? They can’t do this stuff if you only use their DNS
