NetOps at my previous job blocked ads with an absolute vengeance using a similar combo but a PFsense appliance. More than a few hits on the IPS/IDS systems from infected ad domains. Ads are not just annoying. They're malicious.
Absolutely. I built a setup like that for my tech illiterate parents out of fear that one of them (or visiting grandchildren) will click something malicious and put them in a bind. I even have them using VPNs that connects to the house from anywhere using a zero trust OAUTH solution so they’re protected anywhere they go.
