For what it's worth, my LG TV (which is a few years old, to be fair) has never once showed up in my pi-hole's logs. We use an external box for the "smart" stuff, and the TV itself isn't up to any shenanigans as far as I can tell.
- JeremyNT 2y agoI have a Samsung TV similarly hobbled. I simply never gave it a network connection and it works fine. For now at least this really isn't an issue. If and when these companies ever start requiring a network connection it's a different story.
- m463 2y agopi-hole uses DNS, and will give out fake ip addresses based on the name lookup. Unfortunately it is NOT a firewall. Any device can easily do its own DNS like DoH (dns over https), nnot involve pihole in name lookups, and send package directly to the destination ip address.
- mbreese 2y agoI used to have a rule on my firewall to redirect all internal 53/udp dns traffic to my local DNS server for just this reason. But with DoH, there’s really not much one can do to ensure a device is behaving without completely null routing that device.
