  Stick it in a urinal.

  I can’t imagine that happening with today’s systems. Yes, it’s theoretically possible. It just seems unlikely that they’d go through the trouble of denying service to someone who didn’t fetch data from one specific domain but did get it from another.

  Install a Pihole server on your network. It’s a DNS filter. When a client tries to access a domain that has been blacklisted (ie a known ad or tracker domain), it denies the lookup.

  On my roku homescreen it just has an empty placeholder where it tried to put the ad, but my Pihole server denied it.

  PiHole.

  OK thanks. This makes sense. I guess if I’m going to go through the trouble of whitelisting the MAC, I can go and disable randomization on the device and assign it a static IP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I see. Thanks.

  What other way is there if the the IP is dynamic. I thought to create a whitelist for devices I had to add the client’s MAC to the custom group. It seems to work fine so far. I was just concerned that it wouldn’t continue to work if the iPhone changed its MAC.

  I have the same question. It seems like a step backwards.

  What other products would you recommend for a router?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post your setup. no matter how uggo⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not? They look cool, if not a little pricey.

  What’s a good place to start to learn about self-hosted email?
