You will receive a new single board computer (SBC) with custom case, power adapter, and preconfigured/installed Ad blocking DNS software. The SBC is tested to ensure the software and device work. Debian is the base OS. Adguard DNS ad blocking software has been preinstalled to the device by default but Pi-Hole ad blocking software can be installed by request instead of AdGuard.
The specific hardware I use for my AdGuard/PiHole ad blocking devices may vary from the photos, due to market conditions and availability. All devices will have at least 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage; in use, the ad blocking device only uses 30% or the available RAM and 25% of storage space (300MB RAM & 2GB of storage). Additionally, the devices are preconfigured for a simple setup process, making them nearly plug and play.
You need to have some basic computer/networking knowledge to configure your network to use this device. We will provide basic setup instructions with the box and walk you through configuration to get you ad free fast. This devices does need to be wired by Ethernet to your router/modem/switch for optimum performance.
An AdGuard/Pi-hole device is a highly configurable and essential tool to help keep your family and network safe online, by blocking ads, Malware, Hackers, Explicit Material, Scams and Phishing sites.
The device comes configured with ~500k web domains on the block lists. You can easily add and enable more entries to the blacklist as desired in the user interface. Picture show the dashboard after running for months and what the fresh install looks like with no queries generated yet.
AdGuard & Pi-hole protect your devices from unwanted content without needing to install any client-side ad blocking software. It does this by preventing devices from connecting to servers that host these ads and trackers. This means it can work on smart TVs and in ad-supported mobile apps. Once installed on your network and your router is configured to use the device as your DNS, your entire network including phones, gaming consoles/devices, tablets and computers are all protected. Your Internet will run faster and use less bandwidth because your devices aren’t automatically downloading ads.
Note: AdGuard and Pi-hole cannot block native ads on certain such as YouTube, Netflix and Hulu because they are on the same server as the video content you want to watch.
The Box can run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without any problems and uses little power (<5W) and is totally silent due to a fan-less design. The software is run on Debian Linux OS with security updates set to automatically install.
The device comes with a responsive web user interface dashboard to view and control your device from any web browser on your network.
Setup is easy with the included instructions. User/Root access is available over WebUI and SSH with login credentials will be provided with the device.
Note: AdGuard and Pi-hole are free open source software. This listing is selling hardware and pre-installation/configuration services. Case color, style and SBC board used may vary.
