Why it matters

The open internet is not built for families.

Visiting a website usually starts with a DNS lookup. NotInMyCloud.com Private DNS Filtering filters that lookup for devices on your network - the tablet in the kids' room, the smart TV, the phone at the dinner table.

Intrusive ads

Pop-ups and autoplay ads slow pages down, eat mobile data, and clutter every app and site.

Relentless trackers

Hidden trackers follow your family across the web, building profiles you never agreed to.

Phishing often comes down to one click.

We block lookups of known phishing domains on the blocklists we use, which helps reduce risk.

Adult content

One tap can expose kids to content they should never see. Adult-site blocking: yes, with parental controls (on for home setups). Lookups for adult sites that the filter recognizes are blocked.

How it works

Protection in three simple steps.

No new hardware in most homes, no software on each device. You point your router at us once - we handle the rest.

1

Point your router to us

We give you private DNS server addresses and a quick, guided setup. It is a one-time change in your router settings - easier than it sounds.

2

We filter requests

NotInMyCloud.com Private DNS Filtering filters DNS lookups for devices on your network that use its DNS settings, including many that cannot run security software. If a domain is on the blocklists we use, the lookup is blocked before your device connects. Adult-site blocking: yes, with parental controls.

3

Tune it from anywhere

Manage rules, schedules, and blocked services from your own SSL-encrypted dashboard - on any phone, tablet, or computer, no app required.

What you get

Serious protection, without the complexity.

Every plan includes the full feature set. Nothing is locked behind a higher tier. Our standard setup blocks ads, trackers, and known malware and phishing domains on the blocklists we use. Adult-site blocking (on for home setups), blocked services, Safe Search and extra blocklists are all included.

Ad & tracker blocking

Network-wide filtering strips ads and trackers from browsers and apps, so pages load faster and cleaner.

Malware & phishing

If a domain is on the curated, continuously updated blocklists we use, the lookup is blocked before your device connects.

Parental controls

Adult-site blocking: yes (on for home setups). Blocked services: pick popular apps and sites to block, for example a game or a social app, and set days and times when blocking is paused. Safe Search: lookups for supported search engines, including Google and YouTube, are sent to their Safe Search versions, which helps filter explicit results.

Schedules that fit your family

Set custom schedules - homework hours, bedtime, screen-free dinners - and let service blocking turn on and off automatically.

Extra blocklists

Add or remove extra lists to fit your home or office.

Your activity is not for sale

We never sell your activity. Query logging is a setting on your own instance, and you can turn it on or off at any time.

Your own dashboard

A personal, SSL-encrypted URL lets you manage settings from anywhere - Android, iPhone, PC, Mac, or Linux. No app to install.

DNS filtering adds a helpful layer of protection.

Hosted vs. do-it-yourself

All the power of AdGuard Home. None of the upkeep.

AdGuard Home is powerful open-source software - but running it yourself means servers, updates, and troubleshooting. We do all of that for you.

Self-hosting

Great if you enjoy running your own infrastructure.

  • You buy, run, and secure a server
  • You handle updates and downtime
  • Remote access is your problem to solve
  • No one to call when it breaks

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about how NotInMyCloud.com Private DNS Filtering protects your home and business.

What is included in the plan?

Your Hosted AdGuard Home instance blocks ads and trackers. NotInMyCloud.com Private DNS Filtering filters DNS lookups for devices on your network that use its DNS settings, including many that cannot run security software. If a domain is on the blocklists we use, the lookup is blocked before your device connects. Adult-site blocking: yes, with parental controls (on for home setups). Safe Search: lookups for supported search engines, including Google and YouTube, are sent to their Safe Search versions, which helps filter explicit results. It also includes one-click blocking of services you pick (such as YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Reddit, Discord, Facebook, Instagram, and dozens more), custom blocklists, optimized cache control, advanced TTL customization, flexible cache settings, any upstream DNS server, scheduled blocking, full administrative control, custom privacy settings, your own query log and statistics settings, and automatic AdGuard Home updates.

How do I access my dashboard?

We provide you with a unique personal SSL-encrypted URL accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. Manage your settings on the go using Android, iPhone, PC, macOS, or Linux devices - no app installation required.

Is there a mobile dashboard app?

Yes. Android users can use the AdGuard Home Manager app by JGeek00, available on the Google Play Store. This open-source app (source code at gitlab.com/jgeek00/adguard-home-manager) is an unofficial tool for managing AdGuard Home servers - not developed by AdGuard, but well regarded in the community. All other devices can access the dashboard via a web browser using your personal SSL-encrypted URL.

How does the blocking work?

Filtering happens at the DNS level. It uses regularly updated blocklists - curated lists of unwanted domains - including specialized lists for adult content and malware. If a domain is on the blocklists we use, including our upstream DNS provider's threat filtering, the lookup is blocked before your device connects, while safe traffic passes through seamlessly. Adult-site blocking: yes, with parental controls.

Does it block adult sites?

Yes, with parental controls (on for home setups). Our standard setup also blocks ads, trackers, and known malware and phishing domains on the blocklists we use.

Does NotInMyCloud.com Private DNS Filtering block YouTube or other streaming ads?

No. NotInMyCloud.com Private DNS Filtering does not block YouTube ads, or ads on other streaming services.

Do I need extra hardware?

You will need a router that lets you manually enter our private DNS server addresses and supports Dynamic DNS. Do not worry - this is a simple settings change, easier than it sounds. Some routers, such as those provided by cable internet providers, may not allow you to modify DNS settings. If that is the case, you can replace it with your own router, and we can recommend fully compatible models to ensure a smooth setup.

What about my privacy?

Query logging and statistics are settings on your own instance, and you can turn them on or off at any time, giving you full control. We do not sell your activity, and we do not share it for advertising. To answer your devices' lookups, your instance forwards them to an upstream DNS provider (AdGuard DNS, or one you choose), as our Privacy Notice explains. With AdGuard Home, you can also select your preferred DNS servers for added privacy and flexibility.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes. 14-day money-back guarantee. Email hello@aiuplyft.com within 14 days of any charge, first purchase or renewal, and we will refund that charge in full and end the service. We pay refunds within 14 business days of your request. After 14 days, charges are not refundable, except where the law requires it or we failed to deliver the service. See our Refunds, Renewal & Cancellation terms.

How is this different from self-hosting?

We handle the setup, maintenance, and updates, delivering an optimized, hassle-free experience without the need for your own server.

Does it work on multiple devices?

Yes. Works for every device that uses your network's DNS - phones, laptops, tablets, smart TVs, and more - with no app to install on each device.
