AdGuard Home Controller Skill

Manage AdGuard Home DNS filtering from the command line. Check domains, add to allowlists/blocklists, toggle protection, and view statistics—all via the AdGuard REST API.

Installation

clawdhub install rowbotik/adguard

Quick Start

# Set your AdGuard admin password
export ADGUARD_PASSWORD=your_admin_password
 
# Check if a domain is blocked
./scripts/adguard.sh check doubleclick.net
 
# Add to allowlist
./scripts/adguard.sh allow broken-site.com
 
# View statistics
./scripts/adguard.sh status

Configuration

Create ~/.adguard/config.json or set environment variables:

export ADGUARD_URL="http://192.168.1.100:3000"
export ADGUARD_USERNAME="admin"
export ADGUARD_PASSWORD="your_password"

Commands

Examples

# Check a tracker domain
./scripts/adguard.sh check ads.google.com
# ✗ ads.google.com IS BLOCKED
#   Blocked by: Adblock Plus filter
 
# Whitelist a broken site
./scripts/adguard.sh allow bank.example.com
# ✓ Added rule: @@||bank.example.com^
 
# View stats
./scripts/adguard.sh status
# ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# Protection: ✓ ENABLED
# DNS Queries: 1,234
# Blocked by rules: 156
# Block rate: 12%
 
# Disable filtering temporarily
./scripts/adguard.sh toggle
# Disabling protection...

Features

• ✓ Check if domains are filtered
• ✓ Add/remove from allowlists and blocklists
• ✓ View DNS statistics
• ✓ Toggle protection on/off
• ✓ Clear DNS cache
• ✓ Proper error handling and validation
• ✓ Session-based authentication

Requirements

• AdGuard Home running with web interface
• Admin credentials
• curl installed (default on macOS/Linux)

Finding Your AdGuard Home

1. Router admin panel — Look for a device on port 3000
2. Same machine — http://localhost:3000
3. Network scan — Check connected devices for "AdGuard Home"
4. mDNS — Try http://adguard-home.local:3000

Filtering Rules

Rules follow AdGuard's DNS filtering syntax:

• ||example.com^ — Block example.com and subdomains
• @@||example.com^ — Allow example.com (exception)
• ||tracker.example.com^ — Block only tracker subdomain

See references/api.md for complete syntax and API docs.

Troubleshooting

Error: Failed to authenticate → Check ADGUARD_PASSWORD and ADGUARD_URL are correct

Rules don't take effect immediately → Run ./scripts/adguard.sh cache-clear → Wait 5+ minutes for clients to refresh

Can't connect → Verify AdGuard is running: curl http://<ip>:3000 → Check firewall allows port 3000
