Panel 3: PiHole + uBlock Origin

Pi-hole won’t block Youtube ads. uBlock Origin does.
Is there any router side solutions for YouTube adds? I want to block for my family, but they don’t see the point.
Nope. Youtube ads are served from the same domains as the videos so there is nothing you can to to block them via DNS. Your best bet is just installing Ublock for them. Now a days an ad blocker is a security necessity anyways.
Installing uBlock is so quick, all you need is 30 seconds of their consent to lean over their shoulder and install it. The whole process can be faster than the actual ad break, in some cases.
You have to set up a proxy.
Even for those who are technical enough to set up a pihole, it’s annoying to set up a proxy and some apps simply won’t work with it.
I would love to learn how to block YouTube ads with a proxy. Do you have a link to instructions?
