I’m trying to optimize my setup to deal with YouTube’s recent anti-adblock measures, and I heard that transitioning everything over to ‘IPV6’ is much better. It’s a completely different type of internet protocol that the ad servers can’t track as easily.

My question is twofold: First, is there actual validity to the claim that this IPV6 system handles data packets in a way that inherently disrupts YouTube’s advertising scripts? And second, how exactly does a layman go about activating this? Do I need to contact my Internet Service Provider to have them upgrade my line, or is this something I can manually configure within Windows control panel?

    In theory if every device in your network is routed to the outside world they could say “fuck this guy in particular”

    But idk why they’d bother doing that. They’d detect the blocking all the same and probably not care about IP.
