I love the VPN and the ability to block Malware as an option. However, I’m still seeing many ads and it’s quite annoying. I tried layering NextDNS since there are preset ad blocking options with no luck. Furthermore, I didn’t have any luck with any ad blocking options on the browsers. Does anyone have idea on how to block ads?
1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 DNS over https
1.1.1.2 / 1.0.0.2 Same as above with malware protection
1.1.1.3 / 1.0.0.3 which includes everything above plus blocking of sites that are not child-friendly - porn, gambling etc
AFAIK Cloudflare does not have an option to block ads. If most ads are on YouTube / Facebook / Instagram, pls note you can’t block those as they are served directly from the respective domains - not ad domains.
Pihole works, but not with VPN unless you can do advanced routing. Probably, a local solution is best, or as you have asked, a DNS solution that blocks ads.
I’ve used pihole for my home network DNS with cloudflare configured as forwarders. Might also have luck with some sort of browser extension but I can’t recommend any.
Not if you’re using your PI for your DNS lookups. Or are you talking about using WARP as the (VPN)?
Edit: I realize that is what you meant, my bad. Yea you’d probably be stuck using a browser extension while WARP enabled. I don’t typically run WARP while home on my own network, thus the pihole with cloudflare forwarders. On the go however, I do and you’d probably have to sacrifice ads unless going the extension route.
