So I saw this yesterday and thought it was interesting.

I would love to be able to kill advertising to my entire home network with one simple box. Sure, you can run the various forms of AdBlock for all of your devices but an all-in-one solution which is easy enough that anyone can configure it? Sign me up :)

The obvious bonus here is boosting your network security by stopping possible drive by advertising injection of malware. The reason I run advertisement blocking software on all my computers already.

All of this discussion, all of the reasons not to use an adblocker or to pay $250 for a hardware one - if you subscribe to 10 sites like this a year, it'll cost the same price and you get all the benefits without having to use new fiddly hardware or software.

I'd like to change the answer to - simply pay $25/year or $5/mo, problem solved, one less piece of hardware to lug around in your laptop bag - that's right - it needs to travel with you and one less appliance to run if you choose to leave it at home.
