Is it possible to block or remove ads (graphical as well as textual like Google text ads) on the level of the router? I have a Cisco Linksys WRT54GL with Tomato Firmware v1.28.1816.
Basically I want a functionality as implemented by the AdBlock Lite add-on for Firefox, or Privoxy, but not on the level of the browser or individual computer, but on the level of the router.
The motivation is, there are several devices (laptops, PS3, PSP...) connected via one router to the internet. And I want one point to block the ads.
Interesting idea, but I'm afraid your router and the firmware don't go that up on the IP stack. This looks like the application level. – None – 2012-07-26T12:07:11.440
1Not sure about Tomato, but you can run Privoxy in DD-WRT Kong Mod. Alternatively, with any firmware you could modify the hosts file, but I won't recommend that. – lupincho – 2012-07-26T12:26:12.510
