How to Disable Ads using Adguard Private DNS in 2023

Ads can be a nuisance when browsing the internet. They can slow down your browsing experience, take up valuable screen space, and even be a security risk. If you're tired of dealing with ads, one solution is to use AdGuard Private DNS. AdGuard Private DNS is a service that blocks ads and trackers at the DNS level, which means that the ads are blocked before they even have a chance to load on your device. In this article, we'll show you how to disable ads using AdGuard Private DNS.

Step 1: Sign up for AdGuard Private DNS

The first step in disabling ads using AdGuard Private DNS is to sign up for the service. You can sign up for AdGuard Private DNS on the AdGuard website. Once you've signed up, you'll be provided with a set of DNS servers to use.

Step 2: Change Your DNS Settings

Once you have the DNS servers, you'll need to change your device's DNS settings to use the AdGuard Private DNS servers. The process for changing your DNS settings will vary depending on your device, but generally, you can do this by going to your device's settings, then to the "Wi-Fi" or "Network" settings, and finding the "Advanced" or "DNS" options. Enter the DNS servers provided by AdGuard and save the changes.

Step 3: Configure AdGuard Private DNS

Once you've changed your DNS settings, you'll need to configure AdGuard Private DNS to block ads. You can do this by logging into your AdGuard account and going to the "DNS" settings. From there, you can select the "Block Ads" option, which will automatically block ads on your device.

Step 4: Test the AdBlocker

Once you've configured AdGuard Private DNS to block ads, you can test it by going to a website that you know has ads. You should notice that the ads are not loading on the website. If you still see ads, try to clear your browser cache and restart your device, it should work fine.

It's important to note that AdGuard Private DNS may not block all ads, and some ads may still get through. Additionally, some websites may not work properly if their ads are blocked. If you find that a website is not working properly, you can whitelist.
