I’m just curious, what if I’d use my pi-hole to block all connections from/to China on my home network. I have a good bit of automation in place, but mostly western solutions, yet still I wouldn’t be surprised if they called China. Have any of you tried this kind of experiment? Is it even possible to block? What gone down?
At the firewall level I do block outbound to suspect nations, and inbound from all foreign nations. No ill effects that I’ve noted, but I’m also pretty particular about not getting “smart” or “connected” devices with the weird name brands off Amazon.
If it’s a folding picnic table, sure I’m good with FooJoy, but anything that connects to a computer or the network, I stick with reputable brands.
