    I setup Adguard home on a rpi4 and run all our devices through its dns with all filters enabled ( Probably overkill tbh).

    40% of our traffic is trapped. 40%!! we don’t do anything on internet beyond the usual but it’s interesting that a massive chunk of our traffic is just something tracking our movements.

    If interested, our device are Google tv, couple fire sticks, iPad, MacBook and windows laptop. each one pretty much contributes to the tracking evenly and to their respective brand tracking urls, although msh.amazon urls are the highest scores.

      Yes! I route my cell phone’s traffic through Adguard DNS and roughly HALF the phone’s traffic each month is blocked as tracking activity. I knew the spying was bad, but I thought I had already installed some browser tools to cut through the thicket. Yeesh.

      I’ve always heard about this but I’m so uneducated in networking I have no clue what this is called or where to start. Any tips?
