Shout out to the Pihole team!

For those that may not know, a pihole is a whole “home” adware/malware/spyware blocker. It runs on a raspberry Pi but can also run on a physical/virtual install of several different Linux distributions. Not only can it block ads on your computer but can also block ads on technology that you can’t (easily) block ads on (“Smart” TV / stock cellphone / IoT devices / etc). In addition, with some easy to instal additional (free) software you can block ads even when not at “home”!

No, I literally mean the letters I and T.

Sorry for your loss

Space is so much cooler in the imperial system!

Well then good news!

CHICKEN ARISE

Depends on if you get a V neck or not.

Ha!

I would, and look them in the eyes the whole time while smiling.

Not my problem.

Was that the one with the Apple Newton sending a fax?

2000%.

I used to have a list (I might still) of all of the features I was looking for in Jellyfin: if they had all of them I would migrate over. Spoiler Alert: Jellyfin doesn’t have 8/10ths of the features.

I think I’m just going to start blocking the rabid Jellyfin fans and save myself the trouble.

You would have saved yourself the headache if you responded to my question with “…what you specifically want is not possible.”

“…all you gotta do set it up on the DNS level. Find out the IP needed to connect to your VPN via DNS, then change your TV’s DNS servers to that IP in its internet connection settings.”

To anyone reading this, this is not how a VPN works. A VPN (generally) requires a piece of software that gets installed on a client device and securely connects your device to a VPN server. Just pointing DNS entries to the IP address you use to connect to a VPN won’t actually connect you to the VPN.

If that worked, why would the major VPN providers have software based clients?

I’m not asking how to do it without a VPN, I’m asking how to do it WITH a VPN.

Not sure what’s hard to understand.
