Go to openwrt

I wrote a quick guide to install Adguard Home on OpenWrt

I'm running it on the router myself with OpenWrt. It's awesome!

As a suggestion, could you please add to the guide how to install/run AGH off a USB stick? I needed to do this personally, and I'm sure some others out there may wish to do so if they don't have enough free flash space on the router.

I see that only the IP of your router appears. In other guides you see the IP of the clients and apparently it is the same firewall configuration.

That's because I haven't setup the DNS redirection rules, as soon as I do I start seeing my clients IPs on dashboard.

Is there a trivial way of getting the logging etc into /tmp? In my experience AGH is kind of 'loggy' (querylog.json, stats.db) and I'm always worried about the sheer amount of writing it'd do to a little router's mem. I've stuck with simple adblocker just for this reason until now.

Use the working-dir switch as /tmp

There's a log_file entry inside the YAML file, I think you can set it to /tmp and test

Hi I think you should add how to do the iptables rules. Not all people running OpenWrt will know how to do it. Nice blog post. Thanks
