    I’ll check it out. Unfortunately I have comcast and I’m forced to use their modem/router. Could I still set up an AdGuard DNS with it?

    I had my own modem and router, but it mysteriously stopped working and comcast can’t figure out why. Happened with 2 modems, but theirs works fine.

      When I was in a similar situation, I accepted the vendor managed router / modem, then just setup my network as a client. The vendor solution sat there and advertised to itself while my subnet respected my DNS solutions.

      You can set up a pfsense router behind your other router and install stuff on pfsense, including adblockers, dns, etc.

      Basically you’ll go into your Comcast router, set up a static IP to be in the DMZ, and have that IP designated to the MAC address of your pfsense box.

      There may be more to it as I haven’t messed with my routers in quite a while. I’m sure someone will correct me 😂
