What is the safe/preferred way to uninstall Agduard Home? When in AMTM I don't get an option when running 'ag'. I thought I read installing Adguard Home changes ports, so I wanted to make sure things get set back to normal. I do see an AMTM reset. I just want to make sure I'm doing in the correct way.

EDIT: Nevermind, the option did finally appear. I think what happened, though I did install a USB drive, I was never told to create a swap file. Which was even an issue, as AGH filled up so much memory, it seemed like it was crashing things and not even wanting to create the swap file. I rebooted & disabled AGH from it's webGUI (lowering memory a bit, was able to create a swap file, and then eventually the option to uninstall showed up.

I also have AGH running on a different Windows machine. I was hoping running on the router would help client IDs, but it still hates IPv6, which is needed in T-mobile Home Internet. I'm now debating what DNS/filtering to go with, as NextDNS hasn't bothered to do much with device IDs as well. I was hoping to not install mobile configs on devices, but that seems like the easiest way to get the correct security as well as ID devices. Checking out ControlD.

I do experience that kind of problem. AMTM is telling me AdGuardHome is installed, but when I enter «ag» in amtm, it comes back to amtm menu. I figured out my installation of AdGuard is corrupted (and it is quite possible because I had problems with my usb stick)
I searched and didn't found any AdGuardhome directory. Is it possible to change something in amtm in order to tell him adguard is not installed ?

amtm looks for the file /opt/etc/AdGuardHome/installer to determine if it is installed.
You could remove it with:
Code:
rm /opt/etc/AdGuardHome/installer
