I'm not super tech savvy but I'd love to stock getting YouTube ads on my PS4.

Yeah don't do this. Set up a pi-hole and tell your router to use that as your DNS

Those are the default AdGuard DNS ips and the first one is supposed to be 94.140.14.14. If you want to filter out the adult webistes as well (for children devices fo">exampl">s for example) you can use 94.14">14.15 ">94.140.14.15 / 94.140.15.16. If you just want the DNS without the filtering it's 94.140.14.140 / 94.140.14.141

It's Ad Guard's DNS https://adguard-dns.io/en/welcome.html


Not tried them but I've used equivalents over the years. It has the advantage of not being Google plus a while load more

If you understand DNS just take the extra steps to setup Pi-hole

There are a hell of a lot more steps to setting up Pi-hole than there are changing your DNS. I've talked non-IT savvy people through changing DNS in a brief phone call.
Setting up Pi-hole?
Step 1 - get your hardware
...
Step 164 - now you're ready to change the DNS settings on your device

I don't think youtube ads work that way. So it won't stop any yt ads from coming through.

Ublock origin? I've also had good experience with Blokada 5 for my phones system.
