If your Smart TV is spying on you, your phone is narcing, and your ISP is selling your secrets… this video is for you.

DNS filtering sounds boring, but it quietly kills 70–90% of the junk your devices are constantly trying to talk to — tracking servers, advertising servers, telemetry, data brokers, Smart TV ACR endpoints, botnet callbacks, malware domains, and all kinds of nonsense that has nothing to do with what you’re actually doing online.

And the best part? I have solutions for every skill level.

In this video you’ll learn:
✔️ How DNS works (and why it exposes your behavior)
✔️ How DNS filtering blocks ads, tracking & Smart TV spying
✔️ What DNS filtering can and cannot block
✔️ Beginner solutions: NextDNS, AdGuard DNS, AdGuard device app
✔️ Network-wide filtering using your router
✔️ Expert solutions: Pi-hole, AdGuard Home
✔️ S-Tier: Self-hosting Unbound, Bind9, Knot

If you want an easy tutorial on installing Pi-hole, or AdGuard Home on a Raspberry Pi, tell me in the comments!
