Interesting to do this in hardware, as it will work for all devices on your network: also tablets and so on.
However, I wonder how many people have separate modems and routers: Most providers (here at least) have modem/wifi AP combo's, which makes it impossible to put this in between.
Also, I wonder if some sites will stop working: e.g. I can imagine a video with a pre-roll just never starting, when the pre-roll can't be loaded. And it being hardware, this will be harder to skip.
- samstave 14y agoAt home I have a cable modem attached to my d-link WAP/router. 24/7 I have a verizon MIFI device as a hotspot for work. I have been wanting an in-line wire filter for a long time. While I am not concerned with ads as much, I'd love an inline wire FW that would be configurable.
- joeblau 14y agoIt's not technically being done in "hardware" although it's a separate hardware device. I think the Kickstarter "ad" mentions that they use a version of Linux on there and I'm guessing that their software sit's on top of that.
