As far as I know, not everything can be blocked.
You were able to block everything in the past but no longer. Samsung catched on and now serves some ads over the same domains they distribute their firmware updates, install apps, get the program guide, and check the online status.
If you block those domains the Samsung TV loses most of its internet features and also seems to go crazy and requests all domains multiple times per second, defeating deep sleep of the TV.
- ComodoHacker 6y agoI think it is possible to serve fake ads from Pi-hole.
- walrus01 6y agovery hard to do if they're expecting it over TLS1.2 and have hardcoded their own root CA into the TV.
- ComodoHacker 6y agoHard but doable. So far everything hardcoded of that sort has been successfully extracted (or leaked). I don't think they'll be adding expensive TPM chips.
