      Manually block ad serving domains with EdgeOS.

      Not a fan of this, except for very small sites where I cannot run something like a Pi-Hole easily.

      Pretty good for just blocking one or two domains you want to go away. Not good as a general solution for ad blocking. But if you just want to knock out one or two that cause problems for you, it's decent.

      For any non AD based site, the router is already the DNS server for the clients, and I can create a static host mapping for any URL I want to kill.

      The biggest thing to know, that the article does a good job of stating is that you need to disable DHCP assigned DNS from the WAN.
      Obviously, if you have a static WAN, this is not needed.

      # eth0 is the default WAN port on all modern wizard configs.
      set interfaces ethernet eth0 dhcp-options name-server no-update
      

      There have been posts and posts about this for years on the UBNT forums.

        @scottalanmiller Assuming the router is the DNS source, this accomplishes the same task for a simple 1 off.

        set system static-host-mapping host-name www3.doubleclick.net inet 0.0.0.0

                That is fantastic news. We were using both of those in parallel. Having them integrated would be amazing.

                                    They can't keep a name, but can they keep your notes?

                                    Isn't this what they do about a year before discontinuing a product?

                                          Yes, it is, and I'll be up a creek if they discontinue Notes without a replacement. It would be the first time I've personally been bitten by Google and their love for just discontinuing things.

                                            NextCloud + Notepad + Word Document. 😄

                                            There's actually some notes apps for NextCloud, but I don't know how well they work.
