How to permanently block LG webOS tracking URLs and Samsung telemetry domains

Modern smart TVs are essentially massive advertising billboards masquerading as entertainment displays. Brands like Samsung and LG utilize Automated Content Recognition (ACR) to capture what you are watching and send it back to data brokers.

The Problem with DNS Blocking

While you can use Pihole regex patterns for blocking smart tv analytics and home screen ads, these televisions often bypass local DNS entirely by using hardcoded IP addresses.

EdgeDefenseAI solves this by monitoring the raw packet transmission at Layer 3, identifying ACR payloads, and dropping the outbound TCP connections directly on the wire before they escape your local network.
