That’s sufficient for most things, but if you are paying for a much higher speed from your provider, it will irk to use a product that slows your internet down. You can only use the free version for up to 3GB of data per month – which is barely enough for an HD movie, and it throttles your internet speed at 20Mbps. That way if shit hits the fan at least your laptop still has network access and you can start troubleshooting.As a freemium product, you can download AdGuard VPN and use it without paying. If you do have to go with #3 I strongly suggest giving your laptop a static IP address and not having it ask for an IP address via DHCP. Rebooting the machine has to be scheduled since it takes down everything and issues with the HA machine are suddenly really serious since the whole family and every device on the network is impacted. I went with #3 personally but can tell you the cost is steep. Don’t use a local DNS server and just put the public Adguard IP address in your router like you show above.It works but there’s a catch - if the HA machine or adguard goes down then your whole network is down. Then Adguard will serve its own IP as the DNS server to everything. Make Adguard Home the DHCP server for your network and turn off DHCP in your router.Unfortunately many IOT devices don’t have this option so you probably will have a bunch that aren’t going through your local DNS server if you go this way. Manually modify every device on your network to tell them to use the IP address of HA as the DNS server and not the one they get automatically.Hopefully your router has a setting for it (mine unfortunately did not) Find the DNS proxy setting and turn it off.If this is what’s happening to you then there’s four possible fixes: DNS essentially couldn’t resolve on my network in this configuration (or if it did it was incredibly slow). This loopback inside the network makes a giant mess. This creates a big problem if the DNS server you list is an internal IP address inside the network. Then the orbi makes a call to whatever DNS server(s) I specify. So the Orbi router is the DHCP server on my network it tells all the clients its address is the DNS server on the network, regardless of what I put in those DNS boxes in the settings.
When going through this with my router (Netgear Orbi) I discovered that the orbi proxies DNS through itself by default.
When you change the DNS address to the HA machine for your network, what do the devices on your network connected to your router say the DNS server is? Do they say the address of the HA machine or the address of your router?
