“Awful”: Roku tests autoplaying ads loading before the home screen
  • I can't imagine that happening with today's systems. Yes, it's theoretically possible. It just seems unlikely that they'd go through the trouble of denying service to someone who didn't fetch data from one specific domain but did get it from another.

  • Install a Pihole server on your network. It's a DNS filter. When a client tries to access a domain that has been blacklisted (ie a known ad or tracker domain), it denies the lookup.

    On my roku homescreen it just has an empty placeholder where it tried to put the ad, but my Pihole server denied it.

  • Randomized MACs on Pihole whitelists
  • OK thanks. This makes sense. I guess if I'm going to go through the trouble of whitelisting the MAC, I can go and disable randomization on the device and assign it a static IP.

  • Randomized MACs on Pihole whitelists
  • I see. Thanks.

    What other way is there if the the IP is dynamic. I thought to create a whitelist for devices I had to add the client's MAC to the custom group. It seems to work fine so far. I was just concerned that it wouldn't continue to work if the iPhone changed its MAC.

  • How is TikTok being blocked in the US?

    On a technical level, how is TikTok being blocked/banned in the US?

    Can I still sideload the app to my phone? Is it only being banned from the two big app stores? Is there a penalty for being found in possession of the software on US soil?
