Adguard
Adguard is DNS resolver with built-in blocking functionality. It therefor serves two functions:
- Resolving local addresses such as
stoeptegel.chim1aap.net
. This is a site which is only available to my LAN. Thus I don’t have to type192.168.1.1
every time. - Blocking tracking sites. This decreases the size of a website by about 30%, which makes everything go faster.
