When the Home location is selected in the Network Preferences, I point the DNS server to my Raspberry Pi. In my case, it was sufficient to create a Home location. You can remove existing locations, and remove locations afterwards as well. In the Network Preference section on your Macbook running MacOS, you can define a Location. This location will allow you to define settings for different locations you will be at. Yet, you may be looking for a more elegant solution that does not require to open the settings each time you switch to another network. If you are using your device (for example: laptop or tablet) almost exclusively at home, this may be a sufficiently good solution for you. The solution could be to always redefine the DNS servers when switching between home and non-home networks. The result is: ‘no internet’, no webpage will load when on a non-home Wi-FI network.
Adguard dns on my wifi free#
This is a problem because for example the McDonald’s Free Wi-Fi network will not recognise the internal IP address of my Raspberry Pi.

The problem however I faced on MacOS was the following: when I set a custom DNS server (which pointed to my AdGuard service running on a Raspberry Pi) for my home Wi-FI network, the same DNS server would be used when connecting to other Wi-Fi networks. In the DNS tab, set the DNS server(s) which will be the internal IP address of your PI-Hole or AdGuard instance.Open Network Preferences and select Advanced.On my MacBook Pro, configuring the DNS server is as follows: This requires me to manually set my DNS server for each device. Each DNS request is sent to AdGuard and requests from advertisement networks are blocked. This is a great adblocking tool – it works basically the same as Pi-Hole (which I tried before using AdGuard and its one of the best Raspberry Pi use cases). I'm more than willing to help but not until you first do your part, look at the logs, see what's there, tell me what you see and ask me for something additional that is specific and on topic.Currently I am running AgGuard to block ads when I am connected to my local network via Wi-Fi. Treat me like I'm a paying customer! If you need more information from me, that's fine. Last I checked I'm the one paying for this service and support. I have no issues working with your support staff provided that they first look at what I send over and respond with an intelligent question relevant to the problem I'm having and after having looked at what I've already sent. I'm trying to help by giving you what you need to understand and reproduce the issue and I'm getting treated like crap by your useless "tech support". AdGuard, why are you wasting my time like this? Why is it that this issue was reported previously but still even in the nightly no attempt to fix it? This person (I will not use the word tech as this person obviously has little to no technical know how) has spent more time asking me the stupidest possible questions and no time looking at what I sent.

Thank you for understanding and helping us to help you. It's much easier to navigate through the large text files if you know which part of it refers to the problem. > Please send another set of logs and specify the time when the issue occurred. Then he responds saying he needs me to re-do logs to make sure I'm not sending too much information because going through debug logs is hard.

I responded and explained TMO=T-Mobile and asked why a screenshot is needed when I provided logs. The useless person from support responded and asked for a definition of TMO (fine, he doesn't know TMO=T-Mobile, no fault there) then asked for a screen shot of Chrome saying unable to render page. Tried to go to a web page on Chrome where I was immediately blocked. I upgraded to the latest nightly to ensure it's not fixed already. I opened up a support case however support is being completely unhelpful.
