If I were going with blocking at the router, I'd recommending finding a router that has an accessible host file and add them there. Either that or ipset + iptables (not as recommended for ad blocking since you're likely blocking by hostname and not IP). For example (should work on any router with iptables/ipset): https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Using-ipset https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Disable-Windows... http://www.snbforums.com/threads/adblocking-with-combined-ho...

I haven't tried that one. I'm using asuswrt-merlin [0], which is another fork based on the official Asus sources. It's very similar to the original firmware, but with a few extra bug fixes and features. Asus occasionally backports some of the bug fixes to the official firmware. The vulnerable feature has been disabled in the latest version. [1] [0] https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin [1] http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=21774
