Ans. AdGuard DNS’s “Family Protection” mode offers several benefits and potential risks:

Benefits:

  1. Blocking of adult websites: After switching to Family protection, access to all adult websites will be restricted1.
  2. Safe search: Family protection also includes safe search in popular search engines (Google, Bing, Yandex). The obscene content will be removed from search results1.
  3. Ad blocking: AdGuard DNS uses powerful filters to eliminate ads and trackers on every connected device2.
  4. Privacy friendly: AdGuard is respected for its ad-blocking DNS service, which is privacy-friendly3.

Risks:

  1. Limited visibility: Compared to the AdGuard app, using the DNS service won’t allow you to see which requests exactly do apps on your device send4.
  2. Limited control: It will also be impossible to use DNS filtering and manually manage which servers to block and which to allow access to4.

Please note that while these features can enhance your online experience, they may not be suitable for everyone. Always consider your specific needs and circumstances before making changes to your device’s settings.
