How to create a connection

On this post there will be explained how to create a connection to your AdGuard Home server.

A good tip to know if the connection data is ok is to check if the connection string at the top of the form matches the URL of the web administration panel.

For example:

Simple HTTP connection

On this situation you have to input the IP address or the domain that points to the device where the server is running, and the port of the web administration panel.

HTTPS connection

On this situation you have to follow the same steps as the normal HTTP connection, but you can find an SSL error when trying to establish a connection. If this happens, go to Settings > Advanced settings and enable Override SSL validation.

Reverse proxy

If you have your AdGuard Home server behind a reverse proxy, you have to do an extra step. Fill the IP address / domain field as usual and then, you have to input on the path field the path to the AdGuard Home server. Make sure that the resulting connection URL matches the one you are using for the web administration panel.

Home Assistant

If you have your AdGuard Home server installed on Home Assistant you can use AdGuard Home Manager.

Make sure you have set a port for the web administration panel on the settings (if the Web Interface port field doesn't appear, enable the switch). image

Then, on the app, put on the IP address / domain field the IP address or domain of the server, and on the port field, the port that you have just set on the previous step. Then, on the bottom of the screen, enable the "Running on Home Assistant" toggle.
