A solution:
AdGuardHome and WireGuard running at home. WireGuard connects on-demand when I leave home.
I choose to run it at home because there are cases where services and/or sites block datacenter IPs, and I have complete control over what and how I block, no proxying through any blocking service.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoA solution for you and some other tech savvy individuals; not a great solution for the rest of my family. Plus, it ignores the systemic problem in exchange for personal one-off bandaids.
- aschla 2y agoA one-off solution like this is really the only type of solution we have in the face of a massive ad tech industry that largely piggybacks on top of, and inserts itself into, foundational network and web protocols. Fixing the problem itself would likely require legislation and regulation to get ad tech companies (or the companies that use the ad tech) to pay attention to the data use.
- pavel_lishin 2y agoSo, there are two solutions - one-off bandaids, and legislation.
- j45 2y agoMany homes can run whole their route. Im curious how much time or money you’d be willing to invest and spend monthly to have this solved simply?
- pavel_lishin 2y agoHomes, sure - what about mobile devices? What about the rest of my family who's not at home? What about the sysadmin work I'll have to put in to support this?

- sadeshmukh 2y agoHow do you set this up? I have no experience but would like to do something similar.
- aschla 2y agoYou can either set each up yourself, or there are a variety of containers available. A chatbot of your choice can likely guide you through it, since it'll depend on your specific network setup and how exactly you'd like it configured. AdGuardHome is fairly straightforward: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-started https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome?tab=readme-ov-fil... And here is a nice script to install wireguard: https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install https://github.com/angristan/wireguard-install And you'll likely need to forward the WireGuard port.
- sadeshmukh 2y agoThanks a ton! I will be looking into that WireGuard setup soon.
