Software Update: AdGuard Home 0.107.7

AdGuard Home version 0.107.7 has been released. With this software, a DNS server can be set up at home to block advertisements and malware on the entire network, among other things. It is therefore comparable to Pi-hole. AdGuard Home runs on a machine with Windows, macOS, Linux or FreeBSD, is also capable of phishing protection and has parental control. The program can be discussed on our own forum. The complete changelog for this release can be found on this page are found, this is an overview of the most important changes:

DNS over QUIC: RFC 9250

The long-awaited DNS-over-QUIC protocol has finally graduated from a draft to being a real standard, RFC 9250† In this release, we add support for the final version of the standard in a backwards-compatible way.

More Control Over Upstreams

You can now specify an upstream for all subdomains of a domain while excluding the domain itself. For example, if you want queries for server-1.example.com to be resolved by DNS server 1.1.1.1, but leave example.com to be resolved by your default upstream (in this example, 94.140.14.14), use:

94.140.14.14
[/*.example.com/]1.1.1.1

Speaking or upstream. Now you don’t have to remember precise IP addresses of plain DNS upstreams. As long as your bootstrap servers can resolve them, you can use the new udp:// upstream address scheme to resolve upstreams’ addresses automatically:

udp://one.one.one.one#Same as 1.1.1.1.

Other Notable Changes

• Users now have more control over how runtime client information is gathered, including the ability to completely disable this feature.
• The EDNS Client Subnet information from clients’ requests is now shown on the Query log page.
• As usual, we strive to keep our tools up-to-date in order to make sure that our users don’t fall prey to vulnerabilities.
