    I switched my router DNS lookup to AdGuard...
    So far, no difference in ads for Youtube, Hulu, etc. I was hoping for a cure to the insane non-relatable ads that I am bombarded with for every medical ailment that I've never heard of...
    Time will tell on PC browsing.
    BTW, Youtube on my PC does go ad free with Ublock running.

    Ublock Origin blocks the ads, The Adgaurd DNS was so sites would stop blocking me for using an ad blocker. It's been many years since I set it up.
    Make sure you set both IPV4 and IPV6 dns address,

    Yeah, I wasn't expecting a miracle. I don't mind ads for shows on Hulu, but they often seem to screw up the playback coming out of the ad, forcing me to stop the App, restart, and then I end up watching the ads for a 2nd, or 3rd time in one case. I would like better behavior from the service, and I did notice that I don't get ads when I watch Hulu from a browser (running uBlock), but that doesn't seem to hold true with my AppleTV/Roku apps.

    I did setup both IPv4 and v6

    Sadly, Ublock won't work with devices, just a browser. No way to install it.
