advoid
The place where ads are void...

Operational area
advoid is designed for home and small office use. advoid will easily do it's job for about 5 to 10 connected LAN clients. It's not easy to say how many clients are supported. It depends on the the "surf" behavior of each user.
How does it work?
There are people around the world wide web who provide /etc/hosts files for archieving the same goal. These hosts files could be imported into advoid to provide a DNS service in your local area network for blacklisting domains -- For all devices in your network. Thats all. Not more, not less... ;)
