Hi all, Sony loves these data collection messages at the beginning of their games. They don’t even give you the option to opt-out. It is mandatory and is either “Full data” or “limited”. I don’t want to give them either. Is there a straight forward way to do this? Thanks in advance.
Anything attempting to leave the LAN on port 53 or 853 gets redirected to my pihole and logged. It’s mostly google stuff, but TV’s do it too. A determined enshittifier could implement DoH or DoT.
Smart. Right now I just rely on various blacklists that seem to block everything I need to. I might do something like this at some point though to be sure.
I’m running opnsense virtualized. I’d recommend a spare PC with two nics to learn it on first.
Yeah, I’m already running opnsense on an old PC with an added network card. Then I use Unbound DNS with various blacklist filters on my outbound traffic.
It honestly seems good enough because I monitored it for a while when I set it up. But I don’t monitor it continually and I don’t have specific blocks that I set up myself, just the published blacklists. If something new is phoning home I’d be unaware until I check it, which is what I like about your setup.
