I’ve been using adguards free DNS to eliminate adds and recently switched to Mullvads add free DNS. Mullvad lets through a few ads adguad catches but stops many other things. Since Netguard has 2 slots for DNS, I put them both. Is that a problem, or do I have the best of both worlds?
My understanding is the first one is the primary one, and will be used most of the time. The second one is the fallback and will be used if the primary isn’t reachable
Usually you’d have two different addresses from the same service to configure DNS
Listing addresses from two different services would get you a slightly inconsistent experience, where every once in awhile a different block list will be used
Let me clarify, Mullvad is in the first slot, second slot is empty. A few ads get through. I put adguard in the second slot, no ads get through. Is there any way I can check if Mullvad is still active or could I just put adguards block list in my Netguard hosts file and just use Mullvad.
Problem solved. Mullvad wasn’t being used so I switched to Quad9 and it blocks ads.
