Why it's listed

AdGuard Home is listed in home & network privacy because it competes on utility: dns-level blocking in a single go binary. Its funding model is disclosed on the listing. Licensed GPL-3.0; pricing: free. Technically it's lean — it runs comfortably on modest hardware, which is exactly the proof-of-work efficiency we rank for. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
