Hey @crispius, there's a term on the tip of my tongue that's just not coming to me, and I bet you know what I'm thinking of.
IIRC, you take an old PC or something, you set it up in a certain way, and you put it between your home WiFi and your ISP connection. Increase privacy, strip out ads, that kind of stuff. Or maybe it's done with a Raspberry Pi? What am I thinking of?
@crispius Just for ad blocking, or do you accomplish more with that? With uBlock Origin in my browser, I don't really see ads, so that's only a side effect of what I hope to accomplish. @scuttlebutt
@ZenHeathen@crispius I don’t use it, but if you have a Linux box kicking around it’s one to try. If you already handle scripts and ads with ublock, you may not have any extra benefit. I use AdGuard myself.
@ZenHeathen It basically acts like a DNS (you point your main router at it) and blocks content from blacklisted sites on a whole-network basis, so if you are browsing from a device that doesn’t have an adblocker it will still suppress ads. I have both, an AdGuard server and I use Ublock on my PC’s browser. Some ads still make it through, though.
