Block ads on Roku
As of March 2026, this has successfully blocked on-screen ads on Roku Stick Plus and a TCL-branded Roku TV.
Adapted from here.
- Set a static DHCP reservation for the Roku device so it gets a known IP.
- Create a firewall rule to block outbound DNS (TCP port 53) so that the Roku has to use your router's DNS. Specifically:
- Source: Roku IP address (from above)
- Destination: Any
- Port: TCP 53
- Action: Block/Drop
- On your router's DNS server, black hole the following domains (including subdomains):
- ads.roku.com
- amarillo.logs.roku.com
- amoeba-plus.web.roku.com
- customer-feedbacks.web.roku.com
- digdug-g2.logs.roku.com
- digdug.logs.roku.com
- ravm.tv
- wwwimg.roku.com
Note: If you can't block domains on your DNS server, instead set the DHCP setting for the Roku to use OpenDNS (or whatever DNS filtering service), and do the filtering there.
