## How is this different from public AdGuard DNS servers?
Running your own AdGuard Home server allows you to do much more than using a public DNS server.
Running your own AdGuard Home server allows you to do much more than using a public DNS server. It's a completely different level. See for yourself:
* Choose what exactly will the server block or not block.
* Monitor your network activity.
* Add your own custom filtering rules.
* TODO: Most importantly, this is your own server, and you are the only one who is in control.
In the future, AdGuard Home is supposed to become more than just a DNS server.
* **Most importantly, this is your own server, and you are the only one who's in control.**
## How does AdGuard Home compare to Pi-Hole
TBD
At this point, AdGuard Home has a lot in common with Pi-Hole. Both block ads and trackers using "DNS sinkholing" method, and both allow customizing what's blocked.
> We're not going to stop here. DNS sinkholing is not a bad starting point, but this is just the beginning.
AdGuard Home provides a lot of features out-of-the-box with no need to install and configure additional software. We want it to be simple to the point when even casual users can set it up with minimal effort.
> Disclaimer: some of the listed features can be added to Pi-Hole by installing additional software or by manually using SSH terminal and reconfiguring one of the utilities Pi-Hole consists of. However, in our opinion, this cannot be legitimately counted as a Pi-Hole's feature.
| Feature | AdGuard Home | Pi-Hole |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| Blocking ads and trackers | ✅ | ✅ |
| Customizing blocklists | ✅ | ✅ |
| Built-in DHCP server | ✅ | ✅ |
| HTTPS for the Admin interface | ✅ | Kind of, but you'll need to manually configure lighthttp |
| Encrypted DNS upstream servers (DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, DNSCrypt) | ✅ | ❌ (requires additional software) |
| Cross-platform | ✅ | ❌ (not natively, only via Docker) |
| Running as a DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS server | ✅ | ❌ (requires additional software) |
| Blocking phishing and malware domains | ✅ | ❌ |
| Parental control (blocking adult domains) | ✅ | ❌ |
| Force Safe search on search engines | ✅ | ❌ |
| Per-client (device) configuration | ✅ | ❌ |
| Access settings (choose who can use AGH DNS) | ✅ | ❌ |
## How does AdGuard Home compare to traditional ad blockers
TBD
It depends.
It depends. "DNS blackholing" is capable of blocking a big chunk of ads, but it lacks flexibility and power of the traditional ad blocking. A good example is [this article](https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-vs-adaway-dns66/) that compares `AdGuard for Android` with hosts-level ad blockers. However, this level of protection is enough for some users.
"DNS sinkholing" is capable of blocking a big percentage of ads, but it lacks flexibility and power of traditional ad blockers. You can get a good impression about the difference between these methods by reading [this article](https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-vs-adaway-dns66/). It compares AdGuard for Android (a traditional ad blocker) to hosts-level ad blockers (which are almost identical to DNS-based blockers in their capabilities). However, this level of protection is enough for some users.
