    Does Adguard work on “smart devices” like a TV?

      The version I’m specifically using is Adhuard Home, which runs on a raspberry pi that sits between your home network and the internet. Basically just like Pi Hole. So it will filter the DNS queries on your devices, including smart TV.

      One of the options for a blocklist was specifically labeled as Smart TVs, so I’m presuming that one would take the fuss out of watching the logs and choosing which requests to block. This list is likely available for pi hole too, so that feature wouldn’t be unique. I know sometimes these will also block firmware updates, so that’s something to watch for.

        Thanks! I’ve only known the on-device installable Adguard apps until now (which obviously won’t work for something like roommate’s Apple TV, for example), so this is new stuff to me. Interesting!
