I loose internet connection whenever I use my Home Assistant IP address as a preferred DNS server in my Asus AC86U settings. This only recently started happening. Is this the same issue you are describing? If so should I change the address below to 8.8.8.8
Is there a way i can set custom DHCP options similar to
dhcp-option=121, .0.0.0/0,192.168.1.1,10.0.0.0/24,192.168.1.10
Hello there, recently I have an setup to take this AdGuard Home add-on one (tiny) step further - along with pixelserv.
The problem: with the adguard in place, from time to time you would see this gibberish when you browse an website. Here’s an example when I use Google News:
While it’s fine and harmless as is, wouldn’t it be great to get rid of those?
The process
So I searched around, and realized that there is a project called pixelserv-tls out there.
And, then, there’s even a docker for this with the image size at just 7.6MB!! And even better for my HAOS-VM-inside-a-linux-box-with-intel-CPU setup, the docker is compatible to my setup.
https://hub.docker.com/r/imthai/pixelserv-tls
So the solution:
- I use the portainer add-on, which is also by frenck, pull the docker image, setup the ports, and deploy!
- Check the docker. If it is working you should see a blank page.
- Change the AdGuard DNS settings and point it to the ip of HAOS, using the “Custom IP” option.
- Done!
So most of the time is for me to read read read trying to know what need to be done. The time to actually implement this? It took me like 5 minutes only, and now the gibberish is gone!
Anyways, just want to share. I was lucky that my first attempt was a successful one.

Have a look here. Seems a few have asked but not sure if there is an answer dhcp option 121 adguard - Google Search
Yeah I had a quick Google, that’s where my copy and paste came from, just wasnt sure how to integrate this in to the home assistant version
From my glance at DHCP · AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome Wiki · GitHub and Configuration · AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome Wiki · GitHub it looks like you might have to edit the AdGuardHome.yaml file. To do this I assume you will have to log into the underlying HASSOS and get into the adguard container. Info on how to do that is here Debugging the Home Assistant Operating System | Home Assistant Developer Docs
Hope that helps if not …sorry!
I upgraded from version 4.1.0 to 4.1.2 and now AdGuard doesn’t start. It was working fine before the update.
I am running the latest version of HA on a Rpi4. Below is the log, it crashes and starts over and over again.

Same issue here, I’ve opened an issue on Github Adguard broke in the last update · Issue #297 · hassio-addons/repository · GitHub
Same issue for me. Fortunately I saw this post and took a snapshot so I am back on 4.0.0. Is it possible to just upgrade to 4.1.0. I haven’t done that before?
Sames. Mine was at 4.0.0 and upgraded to 4.1.2. In my case it starts fine, but will not resolve and DNS requests. Had to roll-back to 4.0.0 and all is working again.
Same here. Why do never learn to uncheck the auto update!

Seems the Github Issue got closed soon after it was created. I am getting the same problem. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and now I’m getting a different line causing an error:
[cont-init.d] adguard.sh: executing...
/var/run/s6/etc/cont-init.d/adguard.sh: line 27: null: unbound variable

Same here, after auto-update:
couldn't start forwarding DNS server: couldn't listen to UDP socket, cause: listen udp [fe80::7d4d:3999:d4f2:5c2c]:53: bind: invalid argument.
Removed the addon and re-installed it, now giving:

Never have auto-update checked.
As a matter of interest, does the auto-update create a snapshot as it does (ask) for a manual update? If so roll back to the snapshot.
You do do nightly backups automatically; don’t you? 
Same here since last updat
Thank God for backups… Same issue here haha, restoring to previous version fixed it…
Version 4.0.0 works, 4.1.2 gets bad gateway error and won’t load
Same Problem here 
, screwed my entire HA OS installation, definetly disable auto-update from all add-ons
I couldn’t find one AND was on auto update 
at least i have two solutions: 1 rollback the entire VM from snapshots 2 tell the network to use another DNS server while this gets fixed.
Use that auto backup plugin in future… Saved my ass sooooo many times
Google drive backup plugin thingy…
Thought I was going crazy lets hope this gets resolved quickly!
