      Done some research and came across this thread fixing it using pihole.

      https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/9w5swx/i_think_ive_managed_to_block_youtube_ads_with/

      I have a few DNSBL loaded into pfblockerNG that I do not own. How do I add the ip to "manifest.googlevideo.com" to pfblocker? Suppsedly, this is the answer to block ads going into AppleTV.

      Non-authoritative answer:
      Name:	manifest.googlevideo.com
      Address: 172.217.8.142
      > 172.217.8.142
      Server:		X.X.X.X
      Address:	X.X.X.X#X
      
      Non-authoritative answer:
      142.8.217.172.in-addr.arpa	name = mia07s49-in-f14.1e100.net.
      
      

      Thanks

        DNSBL doesn't operate in the IP space, it operates in the Domain Name space.

        You can add the domain name to a DNSBL Custom_List in any DNSBL Group.

        You could also create a new DNSBL group and put it in the group DNSBL Custom_List. You need to do a Force Reload DNSBL after.

        2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
        Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz 8GB
        Backup 0.5_5, Bandwidthd 0.7.4_4, Cron 0.3.7_5, pfBlockerNG-devel 3.0.0_16, Status_Traffic_Totals 2.3.1_1, System_Patches 1.2_5

          Hey so I know this is really old but did this work for you on pfsense? How did you apply it? I already have dnsbl running. Was there any drawbacks to blocking it?
