Primary and secondary — why there are two

94.140.14.14 is AdGuard DNS's primary address — the one your device queries first. AdGuard DNS also publishes a secondary, 94.140.15.15, as an automatic fallback. Configuring both is recommended: DNS is critical infrastructure, and a second address means a momentary problem with one server doesn't take your connection offline. Both resolve the same names with the same features, so there's no downside to listing both.

Time 94.140.14.14 from your connection

This runs a live timing check against AdGuard DNS's encrypted DoH endpoint — a browser can't query the raw IP 94.140.14.14 directly, so this is the closest honest measurement of that resolver from your network. Nothing is fabricated: if the endpoint can't be reached or read, the tool says so instead of guessing a number.

Runs in your browser against the resolver's DoH endpoint; nothing is stored. For a full multi-resolver comparison on your connection, use the DNS speed test.

Should you use it?

Blocks ads, trackers, and malware for every device on your network without installing anything.

Best for: Ad blocking, Tracker blocking, Privacy.

Like any public resolver, AdGuard DNS adds a small round trip compared with your ISP's default DNS, and it can't optimize CDN routing as tightly as a resolver peered locally with your network in every case. Use the live timing check above, or the full DNS speed test, to see whether it's actually faster than what you have now.

To use AdGuard DNS, set 94.140.14.14 as your primary DNS and 94.140.15.15 as the secondary — see the device and router setup guides or read the AdGuard DNS full review .
