Welcome to the forum

To get the best out of DDWRT and the forum read:
https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=324087

Latest and recommended build is 50357

To install additional packages research Entware:
https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installing_Entware

However Adguard is not one of those packages so I doubt it is easy to install directly on the router.

Thank you so much.

Is there any package that can offer the same or better features that you can recommend to me ?

Depends on what you actually want Smile

Is it add blocking or secure DNS etc.

You can of course use the Adguard DNS servers, you can also use adblocking on the router, there is the build in adblocking and there several scripts available to do so.

Cool I'll take a look

I was thinking about a solution to implement Adguard but I'm not sure if it's gonna work :

1- Set up a virtual machine on an external hard drive;
2- install Adguard in the VM;
3- set up a local DNS using Adguard and make it work using a USB to Ethernet Adapter

Do you think that it will work ? Very Happy

Sure many of use have Adguard running on a Pi-hole and then point DDWRT to that to do the heavy lifting but you can also use a VM with docker

No sorry I meant on a PC.

DDWRT has Entware to install additional packages.

y not just use Adguard IP on lets say directly to DNSmasq
just pick an IP and add it to advanced DNSmasq rules with those commands:

no-resolv
server=94.140.14.15
server=94.140.15.16

click (save&reboot)

I can see AdGuard default servers...but you can add your personal DNS IPs given by subscription i guess..(NextDNS has the same offer)

Default servers
AdGuard DNS will block ads and trackers.
IPv4:
94.140.14.14
94.140.15.15
IPv6:
2a10:50c0::ad1:ff
2a10:50c0::ad2:ff
Non-filtering servers
AdGuard DNS will not block ads, trackers, or any other DNS requests.
IPv4:
94.140.14.140
94.140.14.141
IPv6:
2a10:50c0::1:ff
2a10:50c0::2:ff
Family protection servers
AdGuard DNS will block ads, trackers, adult content, and enable Safe Search and Safe Mode, where possible.
IPv4:
94.140.14.15
94.140.15.16
IPv6:
2a10:50c0::bad1:ff
2a10:50c0::bad2:ff

If ADGuard supports DNS over https or tls you can simply even use SmartDNS or Stubby (for DNS over TLS)...for Stubby you need Entware...but SmartDNS is easy to use...over GUI...so no needs to install anything...or use external DNS...

check the new builds thread at broadcom section ..
last build is 50963 and it contains vital security updates so better use it..indeed
than if you have pi with adguard its easy to point to it, but you can use smartdns too
as it can do dns over https or tls towards adguard servers Smile if those support it idk
