Adguard DNS is an alternative way to block ads, trackers and phishing websites, and also a parental control instrument.
### How does Adguard DNS work?
If you configure your network to use our DNS servers, every time a website sends an ad or phishing request, our server sends back a null response. Adguard has a database of domain names that serve for ad, tracking or phishing purposes, and this database is regularly updated.
Adguard DNS works in two modes:
'Default' mode includes blocking ads, various trackers and malware & phishing websites.
'Family protection' does the same, but also blocks websites with adult content.
