Hello barnaby@xxxxxxxxxxxx,

Had anyone else come across this? Any comments would be welcome.
Not seen such sites yet, but I suppose it's only a matter of time.

Now awaiting the inevitable with a disappointed look on my face.   :-(
Hi All,

Related to this subject one alternative that comes to mind is to add the advert servers to the Hosts file in the Deny section. Assuming the site would think it's served the advert and allow the content, would that work? A friend has a pretty large Hosts Deny section with a load of advert sites listed.

As an aside does anyone know how to edit the hosts file on a Synologu DS212j, so I don't have to edit every device on the network?

Kind regards,

Julian
