I have AdGuard running in my home lab and pointed the router to the AdGuard DNS resolver. I have some general block lists and a special Smart TV block list.

I asked DeepSeek to do the same scan, but given everything goes through AdGuard it’s much simpler to sift through it’s logs. This is what I got:

  * br.rdx2.lgtvsdp.com, br.lgtvsdp.com — 1,200 hits: LG’s ad/content-delivery platform (SDP)
  * br.info.lgsmartad.com — 64 hits: LG Smart AD advertising network
  * aic.cdpsvc.lgtvcommon.com — 141 hits: LG customer-data platform (CDP)
  * aic.cdpbeacon.lgtvcommon.com — 34 hits: CDP data-collection beacon
  * aic*.lgtviot.com, *.lgthinq.com — ~410 hits: LG ThinQ / IoT cloud
  * lgtvonline.lge.com — 350 hits: LG online services / telemetry
  * br.lgeapi.com, ngfts.lge.com, aic-gfts.lge.com, snu.lge.com — ~210 hits: LG APIs + telemetry

Of those, these were already blocked:

  * rdx2.lgtvsdp.com (600/600) — LG ad platform
  * cdpsvc.lgtvcommon.com (~370) — LG customer-data platform & beacons
  * info.lgsmartad.com (78/78) — LG Smart AD
  * ibs.lgappstv.com (86/86) — LG app store
  * aic-ngfts.lge.com (36/36)

General list also catches: Netflix logs (6k), Amazon telemetry.insights.video.a2z.com (700), Datadog (600), Conviva (410), Google DoubleClick (98)

Though some domains still are going through, which are now blocked :)

DNS over HTTPS stuff wouldn't be caught by this would it?
