I have a Hisense TV. I was wondering if there's an easy way to firewall their TV so that it only has access to Google Store and Netflix? Make it so the TV can't reach anything else?

I don't currently have any firewall. I have ddwrt as my main router. I can whip up a pihole if needed.

PiHole maybe but I don’t think it will be super simple.

This is the route and actually wouldn't be too hard if you just read the logs while going to different pages on the TV or see if anyone has made a block list for your TV . It will just take time for you to get everything added.
