dencorso Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Both html5 and flash, preferably. Pi-hole DNS blocking does a great job, but pre-roll ads aren't blockable that way. It's said AdTrap can do it... can it? And even in case it does, isn't it too costly? Please advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcinwwl Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Is this something you need on your local machine in your browse or some more complex user scenario? I don't see them and it sounds like something well configured uBlock Origin should have handled, but I guess you are asking here because this is not enough for your needs.

dencorso Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 Well, I'd rather have something that works for the whole LAN, and works across the various browsers I have in my multiboot machines, without having to be set up browser-by-browser. Pi-hole just works, but DNS-based blocking is unable to block those crappy pre-roll ads. So it's just not enough. When every newsreel CNN gives you forces you to watch the same pre-roll about Vietnam's Vin Group or some bank in Africa, and every YouTube clip brings you those cancel-after-5-seconds pre-roll ads, it does get exasperating, doesn't it?

rollercoaster Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) If you can proxy the https connection and block by URL (squid + squidGuard). That requires you to build your own PKI though which is not trivial. Still, an idea. Edited July 11, 2020 by rollercoaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
