Feature Introduction

To enhance user experience, AdGuardPrivate now supports the custom client name feature. With this feature, you can set unique identifier names for different devices, making device management more intuitive and convenient.

Configuration Guide

The configuration method varies slightly depending on the device type:

Android Devices

Simply add a custom prefix before the domain name, in the following format:

{device name}.{original domain name}

Example: xiaomi-15pro.xxxxxxxx.adguardprivate.com

iOS Devices

1. Go to the “Settings Guide” page
2. Enter the custom name in the “Client ID” text box
3. Download and apply the new configuration file

Browser Configuration (DoH)

Add a custom identifier after the original DoH address:

Original format:

https://xxxxxxxx.adguardprivate.com/dns-query

New format:

https://xxxxxxxx.adguardprivate.com/dns-query/{device identifier}

Example: https://xxxxxxxx.adguardprivate.com/dns-query/pc1-browser

Usage Recommendations

• It is recommended to use meaningful identifiers for device names, such as device model, location, or purpose
• Avoid using special characters; it is recommended to use letters, numbers, and hyphens
• Maintain a consistent naming convention for easier future management

Notes

• Custom names only affect display and do not impact service performance
• Configuration must be reapplied after changing the name to take effect
• It is recommended to save the configuration information for each device for future reference
