    I need to get into this some day. Get the equipment I need, get it setup, get it done.

      In the meantime you can use ad blocking DNS

        There’s a service that does this? Which one??

          There’s lots of them but AdGuard, NextDNS, and Mullvad are options. Probably best to research them all and pick the best for you.

            Thanks so much for the tips!

            I found dnsforge.de which works well enough for now. European, which is a plus for me.

              I also recommend using Firefox with uBlock Origin.

                Oh yeah, been using that for as long as I can remember. I do work in IT 😊

                Thanks, friend!

                  I wish they would let me make that the standard where I work, it would stop tons of attacks.
