I'm looking for a way to combine the adblocking with a VPN switcher that takes eg NordVPN and routes all my home traffic through a variety of tunnels (they provide a load of openVPN files). Is there a ready-made way to do this? The idea is for anyone in the house to be protected by both the adblock and the VPN.
- aesh2Xa1 7y agoI'm not aware of an "out of the box" solution, but maybe paying for NordVPN or similar will do this for you. VPNs typically tunnel your packets thru an encrypted connection to a gateway somewhere else on the internet. Ad blockers point your DNS to a resolver that blacklists ad domains. You can use a VPN and still set your DNS to whatever you'd like. What works best for you will depend on your threat model (or just privacy concern, as that other term sounds loaded).
- parshimers 7y agopfsense can do this pretty easily, i wouldn't call it out of the box though. the adblocking can be done via pfblocker-ng, and it has an openvpn client of course.
