| Requesting opinion and advice | Relevance | 23 Stunden ago | cooks | eBlocker Open Source Forum |
| | Hello. I have only learned of the existence of eBlocker and I am super impressed and excited to try it. I have downloaded the latest v3 vmdk disk and created a proxmox VM. Started it and seems good to try it soon. However I want to ask opinions on if it is even possible to use it the way I want. Let me explain: My current setup has a Router/Firewall (OPNSense) on a proxmox VM. WAN port goes to a Fibre ONT. LAN port goes to a managed Mikrotik switch (Layer 2 only). Some wired clients go to the switch. One WiFi (eero 6) goes into the switch and there are two ... |

In particular, advertisements are reliably hidden when surfing on Linux PCs and MacOS devices. However, there is one persistent issue.
