I’m currently away from home but can deny list domains on the dns level. Anyone knows the domain this update is using? Blocked samsung.com

  To prevent automatic firmware updates, ads, and any other spying I'm not aware of, I block these in DNS: *.samsungcloudsolution.com *.samsungosp.com *.samsungqbe.com *.samsungcloud.tv *.samsungads.com The first one gets the most hits. I also don't connect my Samsung displays to Wifi anymore. Unless I notice a problem that I have to search to fix. Then if there's a firmware update that fixes the issues, I'll do it. NextDNS and ControlD are helpful for blocking this sort if thing, or Pi-Hole if you want to set it up yourself.

    My samsung was so noisy that I went to forget the wifi network... but it couldnt. So I ended up blocking its mac at the router. Prior to that it was always the #1 blocked device on my pihole.

    Thanks, blocked! Fingers crossed it didn’t fetch it yet
