Intro ✍

This is a strict, curated whitelist for AdGuard Home with a focus on enforcing privacy and security.

It also helps avoid ads, trackers and malware, and blocks tracking and telemetry whenever possible, by default.

It's a great starting point for people who wish to run AdGuard Home in a strict whitelisting manner.

ℹ Please learn AdGuard Home's interface before using this list.

📰 Important

As of 13 Nov 2024 I've paused updating this repo and am not using AdGuard Home.

This is due to bad release of AdGuard Home (related to permissions) that broke AdGuard Home's install on Windows 11.

After 3 months I'll review this. I suggest you consider your options in the meantime.
