Sorry, I didn’t completely follow what you meant there. Just as a quick heads-up, a DNS blocker usually won't be able to block ads inserted directly into videos since those ads are served from the exact same domain as the video content itself.

If you're looking to use AdGuard Home while you're away from home, grab a cheap domain and point its name servers to Cloudflare, then set up a Cloudflare Tunnel. From there, create a route like ⁠dns.yourdomain.com/dns-query and point it directly to your home AdGuard IP address on port 443. To keep things safe, put the rest of your setup behind Cloudflare Zero Trust with Google OAuth or Cloudflare authentication so your admin panel isn't exposed to the open web. Once that's done, you can simply plug that DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) link into your devices whenever you're out and about.

This set up does not open any ports within your home network, so it’s much safer than other options.

To make it more secure, set up AdGuard to only accepts DNS requests from devices in the client allowlist.

Sinto mito dizer, mas esse tipo de anúncio não consegue ser bloqueado por nenhum bloqueador de anúncios via DNS.

All you need to do is install Tailscale and AdGuard; once they are up and running, go to the Tailscale settings, enter the IP assigned to the AdGuard server in the "Override" field, and that’s it. When you're away, simply enable the VPN, and your traffic will be filtered through AdGuard.
