I have been using an Apple TV and a Chromecast for a long time.
I've never seen an ad on the Chromecast - it simply plays a stream as instructed by an app on the phone. Is it different with the Fire Stick?
- lostlogin 6y agoThe Chromecast does some gross shit. You see it in Pihole if you force it to route its dns through the Pihole. It has some black magic whereby it ignores local dns setting as far as I can tell. I blocked port 53 at firewall and sent it back to a Pihole. Good times.

- ClumsyPilot 6y agoBetter melt it down just to be sure :)
- dijit 6y agoI don’t think it’s black magic. They just do DNS over HTTPS.
- pridkett 6y agoAt the rate things are going you're likely going to want to just blackhole all of the public DNS-over-https providers[0] to ensure that it's not switching to DoH to get around your rules.
