Hi, what are the ways to block ads on a network level? I need it for my office. Ads on various sources like YouTube and websites are less productive for a office network, so what are the ways i can set up a complete ad block on the network?

 

 

Note : I support running ads, as it supports the budding content creators. Just can't afford it on my office network.

just be careful with the pi-hole because you will get a lot of complaints that certain pages no longer work.. even when shopping on amazon your search results in ad products.. i run pihole and love it, but for a few things i drives me nuts.. 

One page i frequent ,90% of external links are ad based, so even though you are jsut going to bestbuy.com its a referral link and it gets blocked..  

 

so on a support side it could be a nightmare with all the requests about  pages not loading..
