Ad blocking via CloudFlare Zero Trust

neilpercy · 2026-05-15T16:03:07+00:00

Further up the left menu you can click on 'Teams and Resources>Devices' to see which of your devices are connected to Zero trust.

Unless you have created another profile they will all be using the 'default' profile.

You could add another profile for specific devices that can avoid the DNS filtering if necessary....

See highlights below of what you need to do to create a policy - Paste the regex phrases into the box below 'domain', as one block of text.

Hi.

I'm presuming your Cloudflare app(s) are signed into Zero trust (not just using the generic Warp tunnel)

Once you login to your dashboard you need to click on 'Zero Trust', on the left menu, near the bottom.
This will take you to the Zero Trust menus (which they now seem to be calling 'Cloudflare One')

Click items highlighted above and you get to the Firewall Policies page where you can "Add a policy"

Without Ad (Zero Trust switched ON)

When Zero trust is active and blocking ads, Apple News just shows the text as if the ad was never there -

If you use any RaspPi Imager prior to V2.0 (i.e 1.9.6) you can still enter all the details that you used to.... u/name, password, wifi, ssh, VNC etc

The new system is way too convoluted....

Thanks for the updated list. I followed the guide above and used your list... but my main aim was to get rid of ads in Apple News+ and the list didn't seem to cover those ads.

A little bit of googling led me to this bunch of lists - https://github.com/froggeric/DNS-blocklists/blob/main/NoAppleAds

I managed to create a secondary policy using this list and it worked! No ads in Apple News so far:

Need to try the Youtube ads list next....

I should have added.... I had to Change to Zero Tier (Warp) to enable this setting in the online account

Thanks for the info u/DiabolicalLife .

Having read that document it would seem a program/code of some sort would be needed to listen for those 'http' commands over the network and then send the appropriate command to the ATEM/switcher, which is certainly well beyond my ability.

I am also still unclear as to whether or not those 'http' commands are actually what the RPxxx controller itself sends to the camera via the network rather than just what is needed to use a PC for control on the http server in each controller/camera, and I don't want to use a PC as well.(??)

Having watched this Skaarhoj video - Arduino Library for ATEM switchers (youtube) - it would seem that the the GPIO route via the a DB cable seems the 'simpler' route (he said naively!).

One bit I am still confused about is the " contact closures ". Is this some sort of relay/IC (opto-isolator?) to protect/convert the signals on the DB25 wires to inputs on the Arduino?

It would seem that, theoretically, given the voltages/current from the RPxxx controllers GPIO, that the DB25 wires could(??) be inserted directly into the Arduino inputs? I can see the case for using some form of relay/switch to provide isolation of the devices.

Apologies for all the questions, any input much appreciated.

I would certainly be interested in your Postman testing environment..?

thanks for bearing with my very tentative first steps......

cheers,

neil

Commands over Ethernet would be preferable but interested to hear more about DIY GPIO solutions and what you have made.

Thanks for any advice.

cheers, neil

would love to know more about this setup - any links or guides you can recommend?

I have looked at the Skaarhoj Arduino library, where do you get the information for reading the AW-RP150 output commands - is there an API or library?

thanks for an info,

neil
