An investigative report reveals that new spyware can slip in unseen through online ads—and there is currently no defense against it. So not only that online ads are intrusive and can infect devices through malware, they can also be used for spying.

I do so love my Pihole. I forget how many ads are all over websites until I load up some site on a machine outside of my network.
I need to get a new modem/router. My arris that came with my fiber internet screws up my ability to remote connect to Plex and it won’t let me set up a pihole.
you need to put the arris into bridge mode which should turn port 1 into a WAN port which you can plug a real router into.
So bridge then plug my nighthawk into it and run it all through the nighthawk?
Yep! That should assign the outside IP to port 1 with all ports to the switch wide open. Then the Nighthawk will be the router and you can assign the PiHole to run DNS/DHCP.
I’m not 100% on the specifics for Arris stuff but that’s what I think I used to do with an Arris cable modem/router. Some assign port 4, and some can assign any as long as it’s the only one with a cable plugged in.
I’ll give it a shot! Thanks!
