Can't block Youtube shorts with these DNS adblockers, I know I can use browser extensions on a computer (and I do), but I really want to block shorts on iOS/Android apps. Tried the squid https proxy rabbit hole, but could not get it to work with mobile devices. Any hints?
My problem with network-level adblockers, also PiHole is that they break a lot of services (yeah it's mostly sloppy or malicious intent from service provider but still). On a browser you can quickly disable uBlock for that site, it is much more tedious for these services - also because it's not even clear that the filtering is causing the problem, also because it maybe someone else on the network experiencing the pro…

Bookmark it for myself and other people in the house and then turn it off for five mins whenever there is an issue.

Pi-Hole Remote (iOS app) is your friend
or simply these URLs:
Disable URL : http:// ip address or hostname>/admin/api.php?disable&auth=[your pihole password]
Enable URL : http:// ip address or hostname>/admin/api.php?enable&auth=[your pihole password]
Disable for [X] Seconds: http:// ip address or hostname>/admin/api.php?disable=[X]&auth=[your pihole password]
> Uses random upstream resolvers from the configuration - increases your privacy through the distribution of your DNS traffic over multiple provider The whole project is really interesting but this line caught my eye. For spreading DNS providers, would randomly routing to different ones be more or less private than rotating providers every X minutes? It feels like so many sites request so many different resources tha…
rethinkdns dev here > For spreading DNS providers, would randomly routing to different ones be more or less private than rotating providers every X minutes. Less private for the simple fact that now you'd have to rely on multiple upstream resolvers to respect your privacy. Stick to one; ideally the one with better privacy guarantees like the Mozilla endpoints to Cloudflare DNS. Or, use anonymizing protocols like Obli…
If privacy is what you're intending however, DNS is only one part of that and there are other ways in which things can leak https://www.privacyguides.org/en/advanced/dns-overview/
Generally I just recommend to people to use their internal VPN provider's DNS servers and call it a day, or of course Tor.

Just don't go to the shorts section? Or are you talking about the ads in the shorts section?
