Could you please add a warning regarding blocking

fireoscaptiveportal.com
firetvcaptiveportal.com

Why:

I selected amazon to be blocked in nextdns.

Currently this happens:

As firetv stick starts, it repeatedly will crash in home screen complaining there is no network. Please restart the device. Restart and same process.

Solution:

Unblocking the above two domains allows the firetv stick to boot properly. And no ads. Everything else gets blocked etc.

Reason:

I use only VLC to play files from my local NAS. For reasons beyond my control (i.e) ISP pain - I cannot replace router etc. So I use DNS block in firetv stick.

Note:

  • While I agree one should not buy GAFAM devices but reality is different.
  • I presume no bad stuff happens from those domains
