I want to try using Ad Guard that is installed through HA.
My HA is installed in Virtual Box, on a linux Kubuntu Desktop. The network adapter in the VM is bridged, so it use my local networks IP address Range.
Looking at guides, it says to put in the IP address of the Ad Guard server. Is ti the IP address of the Virtual Machine? Or is it the IP address of the HA server containers, which are 172.x.x.x ?
I have attached a picture of my router, and need to know what goes where.
It is the IP of the HA
The home assistant VM, which in this case is 192.168.x.x or the 172.x.x.x ip address?
If you have AdGuard installed, doesn’t it have an “OPEN WEB UI” link in the App settings? I think that’s the IP you want to point to.
Adguard has usually port 3000, so try HA IP:3000
In my router I cannot do a port for the custom DNS. For the DNS I put in 172.30.33.1
Is that the correct IP address? Or should it be something different?
The IP address of the Virtual Box VM is 192.168.50.203
Do I need to open a port on my router?
I checked the adguard dashboard, and there is nothing in there. I do not know what I am missing.
Probably not, this is most likely the network used for containers. If you run AG as an app on your home assistant installation, you should use the home assistant IP.
No, port openings on a home router does not affect internal traffic. It opens up ports from the outside (internet).
I went into adguard > settings > client settings. Here is a list of all the IP addresses from there:
192.168.50.1
172.30.232.2
192.168.50.158
192.168.50.125
192.168.50.64
172.30.33.5
172.30.33.2
192.168.50.225
172.30.33.4
172.30.33.1
172.30.33.0
ff02::1
ff02::2
fe00::
ff00::
127.0.0.1
localhost
::1
172.30.32.2
I do not know where else to get them.
When you install adguard home into HA you should be able to access the webgui on http://HA-IP:3000 (http://homeassistant.local:3000) this will just be the UI for adguard home. On you router all you need to add is adguard as the DNS server…so put in the Home Assistant IP address…nothing else…it will automatically send the requests to port 53 which is the default DNS port. so what is happening in the background is that your router will tell everything on your home network to use port 53 on the home assistant IP address…its important that you put in the IP address of home assitant and not the name when you add it to the router DNS setting.
that was odd. If I used the 172.x.x.x IP addresses one of them borked my internet, the other one worked, but I could not get into my router. I had to use the 192.x.x.x IP address.
Thanks for the help.
