DNS at home and away

How I filter DNS on my home network and on the move.

At home, I use AdGuard Home to handle DNS and apply filtering across the home network. That covers devices like the TV and streaming sticks as well as computers and phones.

When I’m away, the Cloudflare One Agent on my phone and tablet can send DNS queries to Cloudflare Gateway. I use the device profiles to distinguish between home and outside networks.

I check the AdGuard query log for problems on the home network and the Gateway log when a device is using Cloudflare away from home. Keeping track of which resolver is in use makes it much easier to work out why a domain was blocked.
