I would love to learn how to block YouTube ads with a proxy. Do you have a link to instructions?

Not sure if these instructions work. First result from Google.

It does not. Domain based blocking does not work with youtube.

Your link event says it:

Some ads may […] be served through the same domain as the website, making them harder to block without blocking the website itself.

There is no point in using a proxy for this, because of https it won’t be able to block more than with DNS blocking. Maybe a tiny bit more if you set up mitm but that’s really not worth it.
