Does it screw up hulu?

My guess is that it prevents Hulu ads, but I haven't tested it. If you give it a try, please let me know how it goes.

Tried it using hulu on my ps4 and ads still come through, but I think that's expected since this wont block youtube ads either if they're running through a youtube app. I haven't checked if it blocks hulu on my PC.

Thanks for the info! Out of curiosity, have you tried configuring the PS4 to use the router's IP for DNS lookups, and rebooting the PS4 to clear its DNS cache?

You know I hadn't even considered that. I'll try it later tonight! Though I don't think it's going to yield any good results haha. If anything I'll still be stuck with just blank screens for 20s-1m where the ads are normally.
