=== Why adblock at the router? === '''''Why not'''''?? Isn’t this '''beautiful'''? <pre>louis@happycloud:~/Downloads/frigate$ ping googleadservices.com ping: googleadservices.com: Name or service not known</pre> Seeing ''Name or service not known'' trying to contact a google ad server warms my heart. :D Ad-blocking at the router level offers several advantages: # '''Simplicity:''' Instead of installing ad-blockers on every device, you can block ads network-wide. # '''Complete coverage:''' Blocks ads on devices where traditional ad-blockers can’t be installed (smart TVs, Android/iOS apps). Somewhere, there is probably some piece of garbage application that has an ad in it that you can’t install [https://ublockorigin.com/ ublock origin] onto. What if it were blocked from connecting at the router level? # '''Control:''' You can manage internet connectivity and ad-blocking for all connected devices from a single point. We’ll use two methods for blocking: * '''IP address blocking''' - blocking <code>103.31.6.184</code> * '''Domain name blocking''' - blocking <code>googleadservices.com</code> This dual approach makes sure more effective ad-blocking, as it covers both static IP addresses and changing domain names associated with ad servers. <span id="step-1-measure-our-baseline"></span>
