> I'm not entirely sure why AdGuard is giving this away
Here is my reasoning. I can read up the documentation and set it up and get it working. I'm going to brag to my friends about how my home network has no pesky ads and stuff. They will ask me to “Set up for me, Set up for me.”
I cannot help them maintain, even if I do set it up for them, so -- I'm going to say, “You know what, instead of that complexity, they have a simple app-based setup that just works for just $29 a year for your whole family.”
See, I just got five of my friends to download and buy the service in that dinner party.
I believe this is the same philosophy of todays' tech Startups -- have an Open Source Product but build a commercial business on top of that.
