    Ah, I should have double checked the community… Got here from /all.

    No, it’s not explicitly privacy friendly. It’s mainly focused on a wide variety of optional UX changes, returning several paywalled features like PIP/Background playback, and removing advertising as well as providing sponsor block.

    If you’re looking for an ad-free client that still works right now; In the 6 years I’ve been using YouTube (re)vanced on android, I’ve only had it fail to play videos for 1 single day around 6 months ago. That was fixed within 24hrs.

    Not quite the same as a full custom instance/frontend like piped; but it’ll do the job while you wait for updates.









  • I specify my LAN DNS servers (2 pihole instances, main + a backup for redundancy) in my routers DHCP settings, so they are the DNS servers handed out to all LAN clients; then I have an iptables rule on the router blocking all port 53 traffic from leaving the network unless it came from those LAN DNS servers. This means only the piholes can reach external dns; everything else is required to use the LAN DNS servers or receive no response. Then the piholes have full control over what can and cannot resolve to an IP.

    I haven’t found a device that doesn’t work with this setup. I used to have a couple google homes before I wised up, they worked fine behind this setup.
