<![CDATA[How to make AdGuard only accessible via VPN and or private network]]>Hello folks.

I'm struggling with understanding how to lock down AdGuard to only allow clients via VPN or from permitted networks or even clients.

I found a helpful guide here but not sure how to implement it on a Cloudron box hosted in a DC (Hetzner VM in my case):

I don't want to brick my server as it's running important services I rather not have to restore 😉

Yes, it was actually easier than my mind made it out to be! I just opened the ports I needed and set 53 only for the networks I wanted.

For the locking down of DNS, does Hetzner have a Cloud firewall or equivalent ? Maybe you can white list access to port 53 by IP?

I want to lock down the DNS, so I can avoid Hetzner's abuse warnings and keep non-family traffic out 😉

You just have to set the OpenVPN DNS to Adguard home .
