Currently my partner has a Raspberry Pi Pi-hole connected to our network that blocks ads etc. While I do love it, it does also block the "Shop Now" links on Cashrewards.com
Does anyone else have this problem? My current workaround is using the app on my phone on 4G rather than wifi but ideally I'd like to browse on my computer.
Does anyone know what I need to white-list to have this work?
Hahahahaha… No.
If that is your suggestion, then you don’t know what a pi-hole is, what it does or how it works.
gonna be honest! i have no idea ahahahaha
Get your partner to monitor the connections being blocked on your device when you hit a "Shop Now" link within the Pi-Hole interface. As it'll probably be a few ad related URL's it'll need to whitelist.
Swap DNS on the affected PC during the purchase.
There are so many different affiliate networks and methods of tracking used by websites it's best to disable Pi Hole altogether for cashback. Alternatively if you use Chrome this extenstion lets you easily switch off your Pi Hole for X amount of minutes.
You can just "Disable" it from the Pi-hole admin webpage when you want Maximum Cashback Action <tm> and then re-enable when finished
change DNS to google (8.8.8.8), shop/cashrewards and then change back
Ask your partner to create a guest SSID with google DNS (assuming you are using wifi).
When you want to shop, switch your wifi over to Guest.
don't use the pihole and use adblock on your browser?
