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.

Yes I am aware. I mainly use the Jellyfin app on it. I have a PiHole but I unfortunately can’t change the DHCP/DNS settings on my router (i have no admin access to it) so i have to rely change the DNS for every client on my home. But unfortunately Roku does not allow for changing their DNS server.
I have heard about putting my roku on another submet but i don’t know how to do this. Any thoughts 🤔
Hope it’s working well for ya’!
Yes! I noticed the video player UI changed, it looks pretty clean. Are you a Jellyfin developer? If so, I love you.
I am. Funny enough, I’m the one who made the new video player OSD 🤘
Oh. Well, this is awkward. I think of you more as a friend…
It’s platonic, you never hugged a coworker before?
😆 No, but I’ve had one put me in a bear hug before.
The recent updates are working really well! Congratulations on the rewrite!
🤘 Enjoy
It’s like you picked my favorite features and put them in by default. Thanks.
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).
Mullvad’s DNS has been pretty decent, and they’re free

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.
oof.
Buy another router to stick in between your ISP device and the rest of your network. You won’t notice.
Can’t you just replace the ISP router?
Depends on the ISP. Many don’t allow you to use one they didn’t provide.
Maybe, if it’s a fiber router it handles some authentication maybe?
And, if you do, either put the ISP router in bridge mode OR give your router a static IP then put that IP in the ISP router’s DMZ.
He doesn’t have a password for the ISP router
Crap. Right.
You should look into getting another router. If you’re concerned with privacy, your router setup is not going to do you any favors there and might be another breach in your privacy.
If you’re running home assistant as well you can use that to create a remote card pretty easily, that’s what I’m doing with my Nvidia shield.
