Print Page - Sinkhole for Ad Blocking

Title: Sinkhole for Ad Blocking

Is there a way to provide sinkhole for Ad Blocking?
When the Ad Blocking is enabled is causes a longer page loads due to time outs. Is there a way to redirect the ad requests to a sinkhole? ...similar approach that pi-hole and pfBlocker are deploying?

Are you sure it's mit ipv6 related?

I was wondering the same especially as it would allow you also to show a block page if necessary

We're currently working on this and hope to ship before year-end.

This got delayed a bit because of the shaper+tls work. This will ship with 1.8 if we cannot make it for 1.7.

Thanks for the update.
Sometimes there are also artefacts left on the screen where AD supposed to be. These behaviour is not really happening on pi-hole for example. ...see attachment
