Run a Pi-Hole, use it as the DNS server for your "Smart" TV.

Wait wait wait. Windscribe, which looks like a heckuva VPN, where does it run? Because we are talking about filtering or blocking the data flow between the TV and the local router, i.e. the connection between the TV and my Comcast router. How does Windscribe get involved in that stream?


I'm guessing it's just a DNS server blackholing/NXDOMAIN-ing certain domains and the connections aren't actually proxied, like the old OpenDNS home.
