alt Hacker NewsI'm exploring adding a firewall to my home network to detect if apps are using my network as residential proxy.
My daughter likes to install random games on iOS that have been advertised to her on other apps, and I wonder if some of those work as residential proxy behind the scenes.
I once installed a private DNS with advertising block lists on a home network level. My SO was not amused, as her Android based games with "watch an advertisement for ingame credits" now did not work anymore.
Nowadays only the TV sets and my own devices are set to use this (pihole) DNS server. So that I can at least watch Disney+ without ads.
