Blocking the IP means having something in the traffic flow. This would likely be a firewall if your aim is to block any "weird" connection from your network. But both firewalls and proxies are substantially more challenging than your run of the mill RaspberryPi Zero and PiHole.
- squarefoot 6y agoThat would be the goal. Malicious actors aren't going away anytime soon, so I would expect more and more devices in the future to use either encrypted or off standard DNS queries to different ports, if not downloading ads and uploading telemetry disguised as system upgrades. We'll likely get to a point in which we'll need to block connections address by address, in the hope they won't set up their malware on addresses and ports we can't block to keep the device functionality.
