[kwlug-disc] DNS Black Hole server

[B.S.]

You could always redirect DNS queries on your OpenWRT to something you
think more capable on your net. I thought about running PGL on my
OpenWRT too, but figured the blacklists would drown it. In the end,
you're limited by your provider's speed, and one or both of your local
DNS servers will cache, so the burden on OpenWRT and the other might not
be too onerous.

For Android I've been using  AdAway - downloads lists, and optionally a
server redirecting things via a dynamically built hosts file to itself.
Seems to be gone from play store, but F-Droid seems to have it at

There's also

iptables firewall.
