We certainly wouldn't want them to know that if they just replace their main app web server ("www" for example) with a reverse proxy such that some paths ("/ads/" for example) are proxied to the ad server while all other paths are proxied to the app server, ads would make it through to users with no way to use DNS nor IP filtering, leaving only browser extensions! Oops, did I spill the beans?
- Spivak 4y agoYou don't have to resort to just browser extensions but you do have to MTIM yourself. Also browser extensions are far and away the most popular ad blocking method so if it doesn't block them there's no reason to bother.
