Yes, dns.adguard.com is safe to use. It's AdGuard's official hostname for its encrypted DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DoT) endpoints, used to configure AdGuard DNS filtering in browsers, operating systems, and router settings that support encrypted resolvers. Standard DNS queries are sent in plain text, meaning your ISP or anyone monitoring network traffic can see which domains you're looking up. DNS-over-HTTPS wraps those same queries inside an encrypted HTTPS connection, so the contents of your lookups stay hidden from anyone snooping on the connection in between. Using dns.adguard.com simply points your device's encrypted DNS settings at AdGuard's servers instead of your ISP's default resolver. You can confirm it resolves correctly with our DNS lookup tool.
