     FWIW, this is how early ad blockers worked. Proxomatron (I ran it under Wine!), and Internet Junkbuster. We didn't have TLS back then, though.

     @ryanc If pushed, I would do this at home.

     As a bonus it may also discourage expansion of the list of sites that OS/browsers use certificate pinning on to stop users from seeing their questionable data transfers.

     Still persisting with Pihole and basic firewall at home for now.
