Tiny ESP32-C3 Board Turned Into a Network Ad Blocker
Original: ESP32-C3 Adblock
A developer has published an open-source project that turns the low-cost ESP32-C3 microcontroller into a network-level ad blocker, letting users filter ads across all devices on their home network without dedicated blocking hardware or software. The project is drawing attention among hardware hobbyists, who are discussing its performance, setup and how well a small chip can handle household traffic.
Why now: Hackers and makers are drawn to cheap hardware doing the job of dedicated ad-blocking devices like Pi-hole.
