I have AdGuard running on the router as a preventative measure, and it’s an older Samsung Q65 that doesn’t have any confirmed 5g modules. I should probably block its MAC address for added security though.

I’ve read that DNS level blocking often doesn’t stop this kind of telemetry because it goes directly to an IP without a DNS query involved.
