[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 999094, member: 55987"] From the below, it seems cannot block YT ads when watching YT clips even if I change DNS server in the smart TV. Hate those ads. [URL unfurl="true"]https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome#getting-started[/URL] Quote [B]Known limitations[/B] Here are some examples of what cannot be blocked by a DNS-level blocker: [LIST] [*]YouTube, Twitch ads [*]Facebook, Twitter, Instagram sponsored posts [/LIST] Essentially, any advertising that shares a domain with content cannot be blocked by a DNS-level blocker. Unquote Apart from paying for YT Premium service will the below method work by inputting the list of addresses to successfully block YouTube ads into the router?
