I am using Adguard Home for some time now. Running under Proxmox in its own LXC container. It is set as primary DNS on my Mikrotik router so DNS requests from all devices goes over it. For the devices I must block specific services I use DHCP reservations so IP does not change and set per client specific settings in Adguard GUI.

For my Android phone I used to have also Adguard Home application, but it was too unreliable as it created VPN and my phone provider did not like it and sometimes it lost internet access until I killed Adguard app.

I have switched to NextDNS as private DNS provider on my phone and like it a lot, but for two phones I am gonna hit the free 300.000 DNS queries per month soon. What I like about NextDNS is having multiple settings so I can make one for kids and one for server and also one for parents. And of course block different things per each setting.

Since I am selfhosting Adguard Home I wish to use it as privete DNS (over SSL) with same functionality as NextDNS. So I could tell in URL the specific client name, to see it in logs. And different blocking settings per client.

Can this be done with Adguard Home or anyone can suggest different selfhosted private DNS service?
