Hi

For questions about how to get AdGuard Home to work with ControlD, please see the discussion in our previous post.

Is the Beryl AX preventing my TV from using a custom DNS?

Hi, As mentioned by 9b9e..., once the 'Admin Panel - Network - DNS - Override DNS Settings of All Clients' option is disabled, Beryl AX will not affect the custom DNS setting of the TV. If the TV's custom DNS still does not work, we think that your VPN service provider may be overriding the unencrypted DNS request on their end. In this case, your idea (learn from your other posts) - using the Adgurad Home to filter ads, and use encrypted DNS as upstream will be good one. The following is the…

About how multiple DNS server works when they are configured in AdGuard Home Upstream DNS servers, it depends on which mode being selected.

• Load-balancing, AdGuard Home randomly selects a DNS server based on its algorithm.
• Parallel requests, AdGuard Home sends DNS requests to all DNS servers and uses the result with the fastest response.
• Fastest IP address, AdGuard Home sends DNS requests to all DNS servers and waits for them to respond or time out, then measures all the returned results and replies to the client with the fastest & available one.
