It's not 2015 anymore, advertisers aren't relying on DNS requests that a Pihole or AdGuard can block.

- nickthegreek 1y agoyes, most are.
- heavyset_go 1y agoEither Google, and other advertisers, put me in the "uses adblockers, be aggressive with ads" pool, or they've moved on to using DoH/DoT/etc in general. I've been able to confirm this by observing Google and other Android apps making TLS connections to known DoH/DoT/etc IPs, and blocking them worked. At that point, you need more complex routing than what a simple DNS blocklist can provide via Pihole, and if you want good throughput, you're going to want real networking hardware and not a RPi.
