  It came free with one of the standardized block lists. Let me go see what my pi hole is blocking.

  I can’t tell exactly what it’s nixing without rebooting it and there’s somebody watching it right now.

  Here are the obvious candidates from the Stephen Black block list

  P.ads.roku.com Austin.logs.roku.com Mobile.logs.roku.com Scribe.logs.roku.com Roku.com

    Interesting. I’m using nextdns on my router, I had manually blocked ads.roku.com and now have the Stephen Black block list enabled too but I’m still getting ads.

      If you can’t get it straightened out Hit me up again here and I’ll restart my Roku and see if I can figure out what else it’s hitting

        Thanks! I’ve just got it working now - something weird is going on with my ddns setup but manually linking my IP to the nextdns profile did it.
