Why

You may want to use AdGuard's DNS over HTTPS[^2] service if you

Want to make it harder for your ISP to know what websites you are requesting
Want to block most traditional ads from your web browsing experience across your entire PC

Setup instructions

Open PowerShell

With heightening concern regarding the state of internet privacy (fuelled in part by the passing of the Investigatory Powers Act in the UK), I have set up a VPN server on the virtual server I have hosted with Mythic Beasts. This uses strongSwan and certificate-based IKEv2 authentication.

Assumptions:

Debian Jessie server already set up and accessible via debian.example.com, a public IPv4 of 203.0.113.1 and a public IPv6 of 2001:db8::1
Client username of me
Clients are running the latest versions of macOS and iOS (Sierra and 10 respectively at the time of writing)
No need to support any other operating systems (although the setup is easily translated)

For automated deployment of a similar setup, albeit Ubuntu-based and using ansible for deployment, I recommend you take a look at Algo VPN. I used that project as a basis for my configuration.
