It could do just that, with a comprehensive list of domains to block in 
the NXDOMAINfile.list.


And, of course, works for all devices on the LAN if set as primary DNS 
on router; even guests with obscure devices would benefit without any 
configuration of those devices.

The more comprehensive the block list, the more the benefits.  At least 
until it blocks something useful by being overly broad.

Balancing act, I suppose.


Thanks for giving it a test!
