XR1000 not blocking Hulu ads on Roku 4K
Upgraded from XR500 to XR1000 for Adblocker and newer/faster hardware. I set up the adblocker with https://netduma.com/adblocker-lists/default-list.txt and enabled. It immediately started blocking ads on various devices, however it's not blocking the main ads that run with Hulu on the Roku 4K on the TV. I see a lot of block activity for Hulu ad servers in the Adblocker section of the DUMAOS interface on the router but it's not actually blocking the long 1-2 minute ads that interrupt watching Hulu shows. Factory reset and loaded latest firmware but didn't make a difference.

- Thanks for letting us know, I'll talk with the team and see if it is possible to block these kinds of ads and re-test it.
- So I've spoken with the team and for these types of Adverts they are usually served by the same domains that the actual show uses as well which makes it very difficult to block. Primarily we whitelist/allow domains which would interfere with website functionality when blocked hence why they're still present as otherwise it would block the show itself.
