    browsers: ublock origin and umatrix on all browsers capable of running them

    boundary firewall: has a dodgy_hosts file, runs DNS blocking (all LAN DNS requests are transparently redirected to dnsmasq running on it) and has a large shitlist of dodgy IP ranges and hosts blocked via iptables.

    desktop machines: have dodgy_hosts files and firewalls with shitlist of dodgy IP ranges, synced from the master files on the boundary firewall.

    laptops: dodgy_hosts file, firewall with shitlist of dodgy IP ranges *and* copy of the dns blocking files for dnsmasq synced from the master files on the boundary firewall. The laptops are set up to handle their own DNS, when they're on my LAN, the queries get transparently redirected to my DNS servers, on a.n.other network they'll query the root servers etc, and even if they get transparently redirected there, there's still a list of close on 77,000 dubious hosts and domains which resolve to various 127.0.0.XX addresses which they'll prefer over any shit served to them.

    android phones: firewalls with shitlists of dodgy hostnames (painfully added manually on the go as the fuckers appear), browser javascript enabled only on specific sites, ublock origin installed on icecat, hosts file on the rooted phones, working on playing around with running dnsmasq on the rooted phones to replicate the laptop setup, but android being android....

    It's always culture shock when I use someone else's machine to browse t'interwibblez...so many feckin adverts...how do people put up with them?...of course, once the fsckers go full-on DoH for sneakily directly resolving their own/sponsored 'safe' adshit slinging domains within the browser, it'll be a case of back to square one again..

    It will be your opportunity to develop a DoH-blocking app, you adshit nutter. Once you have OVER ONE BEEELEON USERS, you will be a big techturd just like Fuckerberg. Get started now, fuckface. Those DoH-based ads will not block themselves.
