How to STOP your LG OLED bombarding Ads & Notifications on you (Patreon)

In the last few years, LG webOS was filled up with repetitive and annoying Ads and Notifications everywhere in a much more invasive way compared, for example, to previous 2016-2019 models.

Getting rid of them has also become more complicated but if you're really full about them, you can still do it by following the suggestions below.

0. DO NOT CREATE/SIGN-UP WITH AN LG ACCOUNT

1. DISABLE THE RIGHT ADS SETTINGS

• Go to Settings > General > System > Additional Settings
• Untick "Live Plus"

Then 

• Click on "Home Settings" 
• Untick "Home Promotion" 

and I also recommend to

• Turn off "Home Auto Launch" (so it isn't the first thing you see when you turn on your TV)
• Then press the back button on your remote, go to "Advertisement" 
• Tick "Limit Ad Tracking" and then click "Reset AD ID"

It's not over:

• Hold the input/source button on your remote to bring up the dashboard
• Click on "Live TV" and then press the mute button a bunch of times to bring up a secret menu
• Untick "Show LG Logo when turning on".

Finally:

• Go to All Settings > General > System > LG Account
• Uncheck ALL the User Agreements
• Apply

2. USE WI-FI & CHANGE YOUR DNS IN THE TV

• Use a Wi-Fi Connection (as it actually provides better speed and stability compared to cabled)
• Go to the Network settings and into the advanced options for your Wi-Fi Connection and Edit them
• Change your Primary DNS to: 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare DNS: faster and more reliable/clean than Google DNS). If the Secondary DNS is also asked, enter: 1.0.0.1

3. BLOCK ADS/NOTIFICATION DIRECTLY FROM YOUR ROUTER

Any modern router is capable of blocking specific URL/Domains from the network. Find and access this specific section of your router and block the following addresses/domains:

• ad.lgappstv.com
• aic.cdpsvc.lgtvcommon.com
• aic.homeprv.lgtvcommon.com
• aic.netflixvoice.lgtvcommon.com
• aic.nudge.lgtvcommon.com
• aic.recommend.lgtvcommon.com
• aic.service.lgtvcommon.com
• aic-ngfts.lge.com
• cdpbeacon.lgtvcommon.com
• cdpsvc.lgtvcommon.com
• edgesuite.net
• eic.cdpsvc.lgtvcommon.com
• eic.homeprv.lgtvcommon.com
• eic.netflixvoice.lgtvcommon.com
• eic.nudge.lgtvcommon.com
• eic.recommend.lgtvcommon.com
• eic.service.lgtvcommon.com
• homeprv.lgtvcommon.com
• ibis.lgappstv.com
• ibs.lgappstv.com
• jp.info.lgsmartad.com
• jp.lgtvsdp.com
• jp.rdx2.lgtvsdp.com
• lgad.cjpowercast.com
• lgad.cjpowercast.com.edgesuite.net
• lgsmartad.com
• lgtvsdp.com
• ngfts.lge.com
• nudge.lgtvcommon.com
• rdl.lgtvcommon.com
• rdx2.lgtvsdp.com
• recommend.lgtvcommon.com
• smartclip.com
• smartclip.net
• smartshare.lgtvsdp.com
• us.ad.lgsmartad.com
• us.ibs.lgappstv.com
• us.info.lgsmartad.com
• us.lgtvsdp.com
• us.rdx2.lgtvsdp.com
• yumenetworks.com

You should now have a MUCH sleeker experience after all of this.

Let me know how it looks and works for you then ;)
