I only know the basics of networking, so I’ve been wondering why this “DNS-sinkhole” functionality can’t simply be implemented directly in private routers (as some kind of blocklist) instead of adding a new device to your network. Do routers not support this for technical or security reasons?

I think the next tier would be to only pirate media that is licensed by huge corporations and still buy indie media to support creators

Another example of how FOSS contains dark patterns and uses anti-competitive practices against big tech. Typical. /s
