RaspAP is introducing a new feature to block DNS requests for ads, trackers and other undesirable hosts.

RaspAP is introducing a new feature to block DNS requests for ads, trackers and other undesirable hosts.

RaspAP already uses `dnsmasq` to manage both DHCP and DNS, so implementing ad blocking was fairly straightforward. In the best of times, ads are usually just annoying.
