So it's like a souped-up PiHole?

The focus here is on detecting the usage of VPN protocols based on signatures, entropy, and other characteristics (especially the ones that try to make themselves look like TLS traffic) rather than having a blocklist of hostnames as Pi-hole does.

I wonder if this could be used to block ads on TV apps, Youtube app etc.

For YouTube if you use Android you can install NewPipe from F-Droid. Not only there are no ads, you can even bookmark videos and subscribe channels without having an account on YouTube or without being logged in.
