Hi!
Thanks for the very helpful video. I have set up Adguard Home following your guide.
I have a question.
On your channel there is a video about customizing Pi -hole + Unbound, is there any point to customize Adguard Home + Unbound ?

[VNMining]

thank you so much. this is what I am looking for my Synology <3 Could you make more video about Frigate in Synology

Hi Digital Aloha, I initially tried with the yaml configurations you put in the description but it didn't work. I noticed that, contrary to what I see in the video, the script in the description has references in capital letters (e.g. image: AdGuard/AdGuardhome instead of image: adguard/adguardhome). I made the references all lowercase and it worked right away. Thanks for your very useful video

[seidmadur]

Would you say that AdGuard home is better that pihole now? Thanks!

[deBierNinja]

Thank you, that was really helpfull and easy to follow!

[eric]

this video is a great help !
however i do have a question. the port number changed itself to 2999 after i restart my routers. how can i check what being set previously. I remember i do follow the guides set as 3000

Thanks for the video, looking forward to the MacVLAN video as doing it that way is a bit confusing to me.

Any chance of making a video about setting up adguard sync if say you want to setup adguard on two devices.

Is the bridge mode necessary? I set up as host network mode and everything is working fine.

My Synology DS918+ Package Center does not show any results at all for "container". "container manager" shows other stuff but not "Container Manager"… Maybe my Synology NAS is too old or something?

I followed the guide and installation worked, but i can't reach adguard. When i try to connect i get a message saying Safari can't connect to the server. Please help...
