 ### DNS servers
 
-There are thousands of DNS servers to choose from, and they are all unique in their properties and purposes. Most simply return the IP address of the requested domain, but some have additional functions: they block ad, tracking, adult domains and so on. Nowadays all major DNS servers employ one or more reliable encryption protocols: DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS. AdGuard also provides a [DNS service](https://adguard-dns.io/), and it was the world's first to offer the very new and promising [DNS-over-QUIC](https://adguard.com/blog/dns-over-quic.html) encryption protocol. AdGuard has different servers for different goals. This diagram illustrates how AdGuard blocking servers work:

 Other DNS providers may work differently, so learn more about them before committing to this or that DNS server. You can find the list of some of the most popular DNS providers in [this article](dns-providers.md). All AdGuard apps that support DNS functionality also have a list of DNS servers to choose from, or even allow to select any custom DNS server that you'd like.
 
 ### Local DNS blocklists
 
-But by relying on DNS servers only to filter your DNS traffic you lose all flexibility. If the selected server blocks a domain, you can't access it. With AdGuard, you don't even need to configure any specific DNS server to filter DNS traffic. All AdGuard products let you employ DNS blocklists, be it simple hosts files or lists that use [more advanced syntax](dns-filtering-syntax.md). They work similarly to regular blocklists: when a DNS request matches one of the rules in the active filter list, it gets blocked. To be more precise, it gets rerouted to a "blackhole".

-1. DNS filtering is "rough", meaning that it won't remove whitespaces that are left behind a blocked ad, or apply any sorts of cosmetic filtering. Many of the more complicated ads can't be blocked on DNS-level (or rather, they can, but only by blocking the entire domains which are being used for other purposes).

 There are also DNS servers that can block certain websites at DNS-level. How do they work? When your device sends a "bad" request, be it an ad or a tracker, a DNS server prevents the connection by responding with a non-routable IP address for a blocked domain.
 
 ## Why use DNS for content blocking
 
-Absolutely everything is connected to the Internet these days, from TV to smart light bulbs, from mobile devices to smart auto. And where the Internet is, there are ads and trackers. In this case, a browser-based ad blocker has proven insufficient. To get a better protection, use DNS in combination with VPN and ad blocker.

-Using DNS for content blocking has some advantages as well as obvious flaws. On the one hand, DNS has no blind spots since it observes all devices and not just the browsers. But, on the other hand, DNS blocking alone cannot provide cosmetic filtering.

 AdGuard DNS exists in two main forms: [public AdGuard DNS](public-dns/overview) and [private AdGuard DNS](private-dns/overview). None of these services require the installation of apps. They are easy to set up and use, and provide users with the minimum features necessary to block ads, trackers, malicious websites, and adult content (if required). There are no restrictions on what devices they can be used with.
