'Users Guide' via the help of AdGuard Home

Step 1: Install AdGuard Home through their official repo (https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome)

Step 2: Go to releases (https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/releases/tag/v0.107.5) and select the OS of your choice

**Step 2 (Easy Install for Linux): SSH into your device and run - curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/master/scripts/install.sh | sh

And it should do the rest - In order to create a service type in sudo /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome -s install (This creates a services for you and runs it on every startup)

Step 3: Open your AdGuard setup by visiting the http://IP_OF_YOUR_DEVICE_INSTALLED:3000

Step 4: Once the setup has been completed you will notice that you will get redirected to port 80 instead of 3000 now.

Step 5: Changing the port 80 back to 3000 as we will use this for the 'Users Guide' - SSH or RDP back into your device

Step 6: Now type in /opt/AdGuardHome/AdGuardHome -p 3000 (This will switch the HTTP port from 80 to 3000 which we will be using for the guide) - Do note that the configuration changes for 'Windows'

Step 7: Open your browser and navigate to your http://IP_OF_YOUR_DEVICE_INSTALLED:3000 and it should now display you the AdGuard page instead - As you can see at this point your device has the port 80 free and we can now use it for the 'Users Guide'

Step 8: Now once you are in the AdGuard Home Interface (Port 80 - At this point you are good to go) - Under 'Filters' go to 'Custom filtering rules' and paste in the following values

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/upal212/adguard-ps4-usersguide/main/adguard-psn-block.txt

What this does is that it blocks PSN and Updates in order to avoid mistakes in the future

Step 9: Now navigate to 'Filters' once again and click on 'Custom filtering rules'

Step 10: Create DNS rewirtes exactly with the same values as the link

Step 11: Install Apache according to your distro/OS - I am using Ubuntu so I had followed 'sudo apt install apache2' (If it says cannot find the package run 'sudo apt-get update' on your system)

**For Windows I would recommend installing XAMPP as it is easy to setup

Step 12: Once Apache has been setup and running - you can start it through 'systemctl' for Linux distributions and for 'Windows - XAMPP' can be run through 'apache_start.bat'

Step 13: Navigate to http://IP_OF_YOUR_DEVICE_INSTALLED:80 - It should now display you the 'Apache/XAMPP' page instead.

**Linux users only

*Step 14: SSH back into your device which is running Apache and type in 'cd /var/www/html'

*Step 15: Type in mkdir -p document/gb/ps4

*Step 16: Paste your host file in here with the index.html (Cache is always preferred)

**Windows users only

*Step 14: RDP back into your device running the XAMPP

*Step 15: Navigate to your XAMPP's default installed folder and under 'htdocs' folder create the following folder(s) - first 'document' then under that 'gb' then under 'gb' should be the 'ps4' folder - Basically it should look like 'htdocs/document/gb/ps4'

*Step 16: Paste in your host file in here with the index.html (Cache is always preferred)

Step 17: Now switch over to your PS4 and go under Settings>Network>Set Up Internet Connection>Use WiFi(according to your choice)>Custom>IP Address Settings - Automatic>DHCP Host Name - No Not Specify>DNS Settings - Manual>Primary DNS should be the IP address of your AdGuard Home - Secondary DNS repeat the same thing put the IP address of your AdGuard Home>MTU Settings - Automatic>Proxy Server - Do Not Use

Step 18: Test Internet Connection - you should now have access to the internet but not PSN

Step 19: Open 'Settings>User's Guide' - It should now load up the Apache page with the host file instead of the default PS4 page

Step 20: Have fun!
