Pi-hole?

Pi-Hole is a local dns proxy that filters ads. It's exactly what was described above, and doesn't work for ads hosted on the service you want the content from. If you block those ads, you lose the content.

I’m aware. I have two. I was asking if that’s what they built or if it was something else.

Yep, it was Pi-hole!
