I have an Amazon firestick on my network, which is managed by a router running OpenWRT 18.06.1 with the adblock package installed and activated. Recently, it has started reporting that it can't connect to the internet after a number of hours of connecting just fine.

So, it looks like the firestick decides it's not connected to the internet when it can't reach a service which is being blocked by adblock, and I need to whitelist the corresponding address. How can I work out which addresses I need to whitelist?

1. Install the Downloader app and jailbreak your firestick by enabling unknown sources.
To learn more about the procedure, you may read How to Install the Downloader App and Enable Unknown Sources.

Here is the only thing going on that "may" be the culprit... But I don't see how.
If the devs or anyone in the community can shed some light please educate me.

About 8 months ago, on the Firestick, (where I most recently had the Channels Server not found issue)
I had changed the Silk Browser Settings to use a Secure DNS to block ads.
h t t p s://dns.adguard.com/dns-query
I had no problems with the browser, Channels or Laptop IP addrs, but I changed about a month ago to this:
h t t p s://dns.adguard-dns.com/dns-query
The url only changed by adding -dns after adguard
.
I believe when I changed this about a month ago from the one above to this new url is "maybe" when my Laptop IP addrs changed, and I changed all Channels devices to the new Laptop IP addrs.
.
And it seems to me, this is when I started having the Channels server not found, sporadically,
perhaps after using the Internet Silk Browser on the Firestick and thus this adguard stuff,
NOTE: the Laptop IP addrs is not changing, it only changed that one time.
I don't know much about DNS, DHCP etc but I don't see how this could be the culprit.
It just seems like the Firestick, Android TV devices etc loose the connection
and even if I re-enter it manually on the At Home screen it still says Server not found at that address.
Only un-checking and re-checking Bonjour seems to allow finding the Server again.
I thought the Clients were supposed to automatically find the Server if it lost connection.

Using Smart DNS allows you to alter the location of your Firestick device, without needing to install a VPN onto it, which inevitably uses up space and internal memory. It also allows you to do location spoofing without needing to install a VPN onto your router, or by sharing your internet connection from the firestick to a VPN-enabled device.
