<b><i>This section will document how to run your HDA as a network wide ad-blocking tool, utilising DNS redirects and a small pixel server.<br /></i></b>
The work here was based on: https://sfxpt.wordpress.com/2011/02/21/the-best-ad-blocking-method/.
Pixelserv is a webserver which simply serves 1x1 blank pixels. By redirecting web requests for adverts to our pixelserver, ads are replaced by this 1x1 pixel leaving the target webpage intact. This will work on all devices across your network, removing the need for software-based solutions on each device.
A shell script get-adlist.sh will update the list of blocked domains (stored as /etc/dnsmasq.adblock.conf) whever you run it. You can also manually edit the list and remove domains that you wish to see (in the case of wrongly blocked domains).
