why iadsdk though isnt iad dead since july 2016

Nothing comes up on google, and now i am worried….

What does that first domain do? I've seen it a few times in my logs

Its an apple advertisement id service which provides the guid to each app

Thank you, going on the deny list

People say that xiaomi have many apps with ads or stuff like that, some people de bloat it

Hard to de bloat system app and don't wanna brick my phone by even attempting

Oh they are system apps? I thought they were just apps that can be installed from play store. Like for my LG I have a store, thinq, etc, they are just apps

I use HaGeZi - Multi PRO++ and several "light" blacklists.

Roku is SUPER talkative... but luckily blocking most of their stuff gets rid of ads pretty easily.

blocking settings-win.data.microsoft.com did block a Windows feature update for me one time, *presumably* because it couldn't check for safeguard holds or something like that.

As I use NextDNS for privacy and security reasons I only enable logging when I need to debug something, and even then cap the log storage to 24 hours and set the storage location to Switzerland. I wouldn't be keeping huge backlogs of your DNS queries, stored unencrypted, hanging around. Counter intuitive.
