I expect this feature is covered by the adblock plugin

i tried linking to imgur before but it didnt like that. here is another attempt - https://i.imgur.com/uZrGcAl.png

Thats how Tomato handles it, ddwrt has similar functionality under DNSmasq section as seen here - http://www.informatione.gmxhome.de/DDWR ... vices.html

This is useful for instance for blocking Apple's update server so that iOS devices dont auto update (since they only check while on wifi and only when charging it means they do it at home, so if you block it at home your phone never knows there is new software to slow it down).

Its currently possible to do on Gargoyle via SSH vi /etc/dnsmasq.conf and adding the line at the bottom. But would be nice if there was a GUI option.
