Working Hulu Ad Blocking

backXslash · December 18, 2018, 3:25am

I've been experimenting extensively, and I've my Pi-Hole to reliably block Hulu ads without causing errors on desktop, mobile, and Chromecast.

The key seems to be setting things up so that SOMETHING I served to the Hulu app, but not blocking the domains that the app then reports back to.

I'll post the lighttpd.conf and pihole-FTL conf files as soon as I get back to my laptop.

Tl;dr follow the guide below, but don't block or redirect vortex.hulu.com or doppler.hulu.com

It's been a few days since you've been able to get to your laptop, eh?

Would love to see your file!

Have you had the chance to upload the config files or could you recommend what hosts should be blocked?

Hulu must have found him...

Very curious about this.

Bump.
