any help to create a url list for youtube to be blocked?
i want to avoid custom filters, i dont think i can enable or disable custom filters in HA via automation. my main intention is to block youtube in home assistant based on some automation
I am unable to get the addon to work as intended. I am sure some of my settings are messing up somewhere but unable to figure out whats missing. The addon is installed and the dashboard loads fine.
I have enabled everything under the filter-DNS blocklist section and the rest is default. I am using this website to test if the adds are blocked but I still see the adds! Link - https://ads-blocker.com/testing/#ad-blocker-test-steps
As per the setup guide in the addon, I have first updated the ip (192.168.0.3) in my routers DNS settings, but this stops internet from my Ubuntu host system. I am still able to access internet from my other devices. When this did not work, then I tried to update using the windows method on my laptop but still didn’t work.
Please see below my network settings.
I would appreciate if anyone can guide me in right direction.
I have read many threads but doesn’t seem like I am able to figure out.
If I have missed any required information please let me know

I am having trouble with some YouTube movies not being loaded when using AdGuard on Hass as my DNS server. I often get the error that the live video is limited and that I need to login with a G-Suite account.
When I switch to DNS 1.1.1.1 and restart the browser, it works. Same account, same live video.
Problem seems to be the dns on my Samsung tv. On my laptop and Apple TV it works now. Only my tv is the problem now. Guess it’s because the tv is 5 years old now.
It isn’t a good idea to have HA point to it’s own add-on for DNS as while HA is booting it will not be able to resolve anything (as per docs) unless you have a fallback.
Personally I point HA to an instance of Pi-Hole that forwards to HA AdGuard. Pi-Hole falls back to another forwarder if AdGuard fails. Yeah, I know…
Actually, I’ve moved AdGuard from HA addon to a tiny RPi Zero W exactly for this reason.
So HA point to AdGuard IP address as DNS, that is (should be) “always” alive
