I run a custom DNS server with the domains blacklisted on there so any device on my home network is covered.

My set up is dnsmasq, which can issue DNS rules based upon the servers /etc/hosts file, and then Someone Who Cares hosts file[1] which has trackers and many other unwanted web nasties added to the loopback address.

And as its just hosts files, the thing is trivial to fully automate so once a week I pull the latest list of banned domains.

There are also other services like Someone Who Cares, some tailored more specifically towards Windows and some tailored more specifically to blocking ads, or malware, etc.
