Ads can be really annoying at times, especially when you're watching a video and they keep popping up. In this session, we will show you how you can make a network-wide ad blocker using Raspberry Pi. What the network-wide ad blocker does is act as your DNS server. Your computers and routers will connect to it for DNS requests. These DNS requests will then be filtered by the Raspberry Pi. Any DNS requests that match any that match a known Ad host will be rejected meaning the connection will never meet your computer. Therefore, the ad will never be loaded by the devices.
