Our server works as a redirect DNS server: each request will be directed to its original destination, except for ads. That server either redirects the request to another server or replies with an IP address.īut how can it help us block ads? We create our own DNS server, which you can tell your browser to send all requests to. Thus, each time you go to a website, your browser sends a request to a special server. Simplifying it a lot, one can say that DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that translates websites ‘names’ into something browser can understand – IP addresses.
