My dog tore up the remote so we were forced to use the roku app to control the tv.

They’re showing ads on the remote app. It feels like we can never escape this dystopian hellacape.

I have heard about putting my roku on another submet but i don’t know how to do this. Any thoughts 🤔

I believe that would rely on the modem settings… If you buy a router (eero, Google WiFi, etc.) and connect it to the Ethernet port, you could create a separate network and your modem would see your router as a single device. I have T-Mobile Internet but don’t trust them with my data, so in conjunction with the above, I have all my network traffic pointed towards AdGuard DNS (Personal Plan)(they have a free version that works well, but you can’t customize it).

Changing DNS isn’t the same thing as a VPN. Your traffic isn’t “tunneled” over DNS, it just changes which server your devices use to look up IP addresses. Your ISP can still see quite a lot, particularly if you’re using plain DNS rather than DNS over HTTPS or DNS over TLS.

Thank you for explaining this to those who don’t know.

Perhaps I should have used the word(s) point to instead of traffic.

Mullvad’s DNS has been pretty decent, and they’re free
