What DNS to Use to Block Ads on Your Network?

Setting up an ad-blocking DNS at the router level might seem convenient, but it often slows down domain resolution or breaks connections by routing all your traffic through a third-party server.


Local Perimeter Filtering vs External DNS Servers

External DNS services monitor your domain queries. AdBlock Network pulls rule updates via asynchronous read-only requests to multiple independent endpoints, executing Address layer blocking 100% locally in your browser. This avoids external telemetries and preserves internet speeds.
