  • I don’t think DNS blocking is sufficient for untrusted devices. A Pi-hole won’t stop or report on a device that doesn’t use it. WAN blocking is good when you can use it, but also not sufficient on its own and can render devices non-functional (which maybe they should be…). Virtual or physical LAN segregation and a firewall is required to both stop your trusted devices being accessed maliciously, and to block/sniff what the untrusted devices are doing with WAN access.







  • I wouldn’t use Copilot for this, as it may be using some older info on you that it already has. There are lots of “whatismyip” type sites that can try to guess your location. Failing that, see what region Google serves you ads from—any YouTube ads I get are always from my VPN endpoint country/region.

    Also, just try plain old Tor Browser to compare with your setup.
