## Configuring upstreams
AdGuard Home is basically a DNS proxy that sends your DNS queries to the upstream servers. You can specify multiple upstream servers in AdGuard Home settings, or you can even specify a DNS server that will be used to resolve specific domains.
Examples:
* `1.1.1.1` - regular DNS (over UDP).
* `tls://1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com` encrypted [DNS-over-TLS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_over_TLS).
* `https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query` encrypted [DNS-over-HTTPS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_over_HTTPS).
* `tcp://1.1.1.1` regular DNS (over TCP).
* `sdns://...` you can use [DNS Stamps](https://dnscrypt.info/stamps/) for [DNSCrypt](https://dnscrypt.info/) or [DNS-over-HTTPS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_over_HTTPS) resolvers.
* `[/example.local/]1.1.1.1` you can specify DNS upstream for a specific domain(s).

### Specifying upstreams for domains
![](upstreams.png)
You can specify upstreams that will be used for a specific domain(s). We use the dnsmasq-like syntax (see `--server` description [here](http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html)). This feature is intended for private nameservers which deal with intranet domains.
**Syntax:** `[/[domain1][/../domainN]/]upstreamString`
If one or more domains are specified, that upstream (`upstreamString`) is used only for those domains. Usually, it is used for private nameservers. For instance, if you have a nameserver on your network which deals with `xxx.internal.local` at `192.168.0.1` then you can specify `[/internal.local/]192.168.0.1`, and dnsproxy will send all queries to that nameserver. Everything else will be sent to the default upstreams (which are mandatory!).
1. An empty domain specification, // has the special meaning of "unqualified names only" ie names without any dots in them.
2. More specific domains take precedence over less specific domains, so: `--upstream=[/host.com/]1.2.3.4 --upstream=[/www.host.com/]2.3.4.5` will send queries for *.host.com to 1.2.3.4, except *.www.host.com, which will go to 2.3.4.5
3. The special server address '#' means, "use the standard servers", so: `--upstream=[/host.com/]1.2.3.4 --upstream=[/www.host.com/]#` will send queries for *.host.com to 1.2.3.4, except *.www.host.com which will be forwarded as usual.
#### Examples
Sends queries for `*.local` domains to `192.168.0.1:53`. Other queries are sent to `8.8.8.8:53`.
```
./dnsproxy -u 8.8.8.8:53 -u [/local/]192.168.0.1:53
```
Sends queries for `*.host.com` to `1.1.1.1:53` except for `*.maps.host.com` which are sent to `8.8.8.8:53` (as long as other queries).
```
./dnsproxy -u 8.8.8.8:53 -u [/host.com/]1.1.1.1:53 -u [/maps.host.com/]#`
```

## Configuring clients friendly names
It may be useful to set up a friendly name for each IP address that clients use to connect to AdGuard Home. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open `/etc/hosts` file in your text editor and add a name for each IP address, for example:
192.168.0.2 Mom
192.168.0.3 Dad
192.168.0.4 Sister
192.168.0.5 Brother
Note that on Windows file path to "hosts" file is different: `c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts`
2. Restart AdGuard Home
As a result you will see that the clients names are now shown:
![](top-clients-names.png)
In the future, we plan to add more configuration options in this area.
<a id="configuration-file"></a>
## Configuration file
Upon the first execution, a file named `AdGuardHome.yaml` will be created, with default values written in it. You can modify the file while your AdGuard Home service is not running. Otherwise, any changes to the file will be lost because the running program will overwrite them.
