AdGuard DNS CLI

AdGuard DNS CLI is a lightweight DNS client for Windows. It is designed for users who want to connect their DNS requests to AdGuard DNS through a command-line-oriented client. The software operates as a DNS server rather than sending each request directly from an individual application.

When a device or application sends a DNS request to AdGuard DNS CLI, the client forwards that request to the corresponding upstream resolver. It then serves as the local point through which those DNS requests are handled. Its focused role makes it suitable for users looking for a straightforward DNS forwarding component on Windows.

AdGuard DNS CLI is open-source software for the Windows platform. MirrorNest distributes the official build directly from its own storage, with the files scanned for malware before publication. This provides a Windows download that remains tied to the official build while fitting the catalog’s software distribution model.
