Is there a list of all LG tracking services and external DNS endpoints?

I'd just block them - and keep local streaming and remote control working

edit: just found out WebOS doesn't support DoH/DoT so nextdns won't work.

I wonder if one of the public dns providers got LG blocklisted natively with specific IP

Worse, if you watch the GN video this article is based on you'll find the TV can figure out how to leverage other non obvious networks (threads, etc) to reach LG servers. Worth a watch to see how bad this is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IFVTcM28KA

Its a 2+ hour video. Do you have a timestamp for this?

There’s a list of them in the Intercepting section of the source video.

Oh, by the way, these things spoof MAC addresses too, so you can't rely on DHCP.

You can spoof MACs all you want, but your MAC is tied to the address I give out. What happens if you spoof addresses? FAFO...

If you have one, can't you just look at the router to the MAC being reported?

I'm not the one claiming TVs actively spoof their MAC address. Its on the person making claims to provide evidence.
