I have also been having PPPOE connection drops issues. Initially on 25.x (which I then put down as bad migration to new hardware) and today on a clean slate install of 26.1.5.

As I loosely understand it: The ads in the app were served inline with the video you're trying to stream so the DNS either doesn't pick up on them or does and you get neither the video or the ad.

If you're on Android NewPipe is a good, free alternative app without served ads, you still have to listen to the in-stream plugs for Shadow Legends/NordVPN/etc. There's also a Newpipe fork with SponsorBlock built in or apparently now YouTube Vanced is another app with SB integration. Due to it not seeming any more invasive of privacy than watching the videos I'm ok with supporting the YouTubers via their sponsorship's so haven't looked into the last two.

On IoS there was an alternative front end to YouTube called Invidious which has shuttered but was FOSS so there are clones, it might be possible to set as a webapp? Only buzz I've heard though, not been hands on with the devices.

Didn't link as I haven't read the rules here properly (sorry mods!) but it's all stuff that's on the front few pages of search engines.

Hi, new here and to this level of networking equipment in general, it's been a pretty steep learning curve! Tried to search locally and on the wider internet for a solution but due to lack of correct vocabulary I'm not 100% which keywords I should be using.

The (current) aim is to have OPNsense run a VPN for the entire network while also allowing a ShieldTV (static IP) running its own VPN client through the firewall. Tried putting a pass rule in LAN to route the STV direct to WAN gateway instead of to VPN_WAN and made sure it was above the regular traffic rules, also enabled "Don't pull routes." According to the OPNsense dashboard graphs STV still goes through the main VPN tunnel and then onto the correct end point.

It works ok but it's not how I imagine it should be, anyone like to point me to the correct way?
