So does your isp, and uses that for targeted ads. My pihole is constantly blocking a domain ran by xfinity that collects data for their targeted ad service
Can I get some more info. Do you know what device on your network is asking for said address?
Roku: has its own problems, but I dont use the smart tv features and turn them all off especially the wifi. It doesnt talk to my isp and ive never got requests from it.

What domain do I can make sure it's blocked?
Comcast router advertises its own IPv6 as DNS server
Hi all, I have a comcast gateway router so I can't disable its DHCP server as far as I know, because it has the "safety feature" described here Why won't Pi-hole work with DNS rebind protection enabled? so running the pi…

YOUR tv is spying on you. MY tv has no smart capability.
How does that help me though?

You sit down to relax, put on your favorite show, and settle in for a night of binge-watching. But while you’re watching your TV… your TV is watching you.
Smart TVs take constant snapshots of everything you watch. Sometimes hundreds of snapshots a second.

My ACL says my TV can't talk to the internet.

Is every comment in the world supposed to cater to you? Are people allowed to add to discussions without consulting you first?

Disconnect it from the internet...?

It's almost like we should have strong data privacy laws so companies can't spy on everything we do...
But think of the corporations! Why isn't anyone thinking of the poor withering corporations?!

I think it’s my LG TV. But it has its own service that I also block.
Here is the service from xfinity that I’m talking about. It’s relatively new to my network and has increased my blocked percentage by a lot. Mind you, I have 1,900,000+ domains on my blocklist

Id also like to know what lists hes using
I’m using like 30 block lists with over 1,900,000 blocked domains. There is a site that had a bunch of blocklists and I just grabbed most of them

I've really gotta look into pihole.
It’s really been great

Are you using isp provided hardware?
My experience with said items has been poor. Literal open doors to your network.

Yikes, I didn't know I was being hostile, sorry I hurt your feelings.

I’m using my xfinity router/modem in bridge mode to my router.

Is it adding to discussions or just posturing? Much like heavy's comment was about their issues, Lost_My_Mind's was also about their own situation. Why is the latter acceptable and the former not?
My assumption is not because it promotes discussion, but because it's something that's more people emotionally agree with.

I don't think those two facts are related? Your isp doesn't need to connect to its servers from within your local network to track your internet usage. Something else in your network must be trying to connect to that domain

Pal, it’s way beyond bad karma at this point!!!
