Comment on Streaming Ads Are So Much Worse Than Traditional Ad Breaks | MZS | Roger Ebert
xyzzy@lemm.ee 2 years agoI built a DNS proxy that filters all third-party ads, but ads for the same service (e.g. Paramount advertising its own shows) are hosted by that service, meaning they get through.

Pi-hole?

Pi-Hole is a local dns proxy that filters ads. It’s exactly what was described above, and doesn’t work for ads hosted on the service you want the content from. If you block those ads, you lose the content.

I’m aware. I have two. I was asking if that’s what they built or if it was something else.

Yep, it was Pi-hole!
