@tech.explain: Can you block ads from hitting your router? Ads don't come attached to websites, they are loaded from a different server. So there's a way to stop them from ever loading onto your network. Using a raspberry pi and some free software, you can stop ads from getting into your home. It's called a pi hole and it acts as a catch between your home internet and the servers that place ads on websites.

I've tried it. It kinda works, but needs to be configured endlessly. Firefox + UBlock Origin is the best for ad blocking.

Tell me why we need separate hardware instead of changing the DNS IPs in the configuration?

tried it, instead of ads I'd get a black screen for the duration of the ad. also completely broke Hulu. I think it was registering that the ad wasn't playing so it would try another one in an endless loop so it would never start any videos.

to an extent, if you use an app like the YouTube app, they push the ads the same way the videos come through. so pinhole can't differentiate the difference between videos and ads
