A $2 ESP32-C3 microcontroller becomes a network-wide ad blocker
Original: ESP32-C3 Adblock
A hobbyist project has surfaced showing an ad blocker built on the ESP32-C3, a low-cost wireless microcontroller. The open-source setup filters ads at the network level rather than in individual browsers, letting one small device block ads for every gadget on a home network. Readers are discussing the appeal of cheap, self-hosted hardware that replaces subscriptions or software.
Why now: Interest in cheap, self-hosted network ad blocking hardware built on the popular ESP32-C3 chip.
