Hi all, Sony loves these data collection messages at the beginning of their games. They don’t even give you the option to opt-out. It is mandatory and is either “Full data” or “limited”. I don’t want to give them either. Is there a straight forward way to do this? Thanks in advance.

    This was my thought too. Seems easiest to me to DNS block on the firewall side (and be network wide).

      Anything attempting to leave the LAN on port 53 or 853 gets redirected to my pihole and logged. It’s mostly google stuff, but TV’s do it too. A determined enshittifier could implement DoH or DoT.

        Smart. Right now I just rely on various blacklists that seem to block everything I need to. I might do something like this at some point though to be sure.

          I’m running opnsense virtualized. I’d recommend a spare PC with two nics to learn it on first.
