Can't find the hesads.akamaized.net on hotsatar, however I found a never ending tracker code bifrost-api.hotstar.com: https://mypdns.org/my-privacy-dns/matrix/-/issues/2510

@spirillen I used network manager to monitor and block hesads.akamaized.net. Yes bifrost-api.hotstar.com is also present but that shouldn't get rid of embedded ads. They have a dedicated ads server: https://brands.hotstar.com/ not using Google ads or facebook ads

99.9% ads are repetitive and irrelevant

Also blocking hesads.akamaized.net doesn't instantly resume video. You still have to wait for 60-90 sec which is usual ad duration. During that you'll see black screen with loading animation

Can you show some logs for the hesads.akamaized.net ??

PS: you should add this They have a dedicated ads server: https://brands.hotstar.com/ not using Google ads or facebook ads to the issue on mypdns and get the credit for your informatios

I hope this will do. You can try it yourself. 50% content is free without login. Go hotstar.com/in use something like free hola vpn India @spirillen
