🛡️ C3 AdBlocker
A network-wide DNS ad-blocker on a $2 ESP32-C3 — 141,000+ domains, no PSRAM. Flash it right here, no toolchain needed.
Plug your ESP32-C3 into this computer, then:
Your browser can't flash — use Chrome or Edge on a desktop.
You need to allow the serial port.
Chrome / Edge · desktop
~30 seconds
blocklist included
What happens
- Click Connect & Install and pick your ESP32-C3's serial port.
- It flashes the firmware + a 141k-domain blocklist (~30s).
- After it reboots, it makes a WiFi network called
C3-AdBlock-XXXX — join it from your phone, pick your WiFi, type the password.
- Set it as your router's secondary DNS (or per-device), and ads are blocked network-wide. Dashboard at
c3adblock.local.
No WiFi credentials are baked into this build — you set them on-device, privately.
