LG WebOS TVs are notorious for phoning home – ads on the home screen, tracking via ACR (automatic content recognition), and telemetry across 1,700+ domains including alphonso.tv, lgsmartad.com, and various lge.com subdomains. HaGeZi maintains a dedicated LG WebOS DNS blocklist for all of these that you can add to your DNS blocker of choice.
One domain worth blocking separately is snu.lge.com – this is responsible for the firmware update notification popups. Blocking it stops the TV from nagging you to update, which is useful if you want to stay on a specific firmware version.
