Why Do I Want Kansibox in My House?
Because the internet is loud, messy, and filled with stuff you never asked for. Kansibox filters out the garbage—ads, trackers, scammy links—before it even gets to your devices. It makes your network faster, cleaner, and safer for everyone, without lifting a finger.
🕳️ What Is Kansibox?
Kansibox is a tiny device that blocks unwanted internet junk for your entire home. It’s like a digital bouncer that keeps sketchy sites and annoying ads out of your house.
Every time you open a site or app, your device asks where to go. Kansibox steps in, checks the address, and if it’s linked to ads, spyware, or bad actors—it blocks it instantly. No pop-ups. No trackers. No nonsense.
⚙️ Quick Summary:
- Protects every device: phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, even your fridge
- No apps or logins to manage
- Runs quietly in the background, like a polite ninja with a clipboard
✅ What Kansibox Can Do
- Block ads, pop-ups, banners, and trackers across your entire network
- Prevent access to phishing and malware sites using known blocklists
- Speed up your browsing by cutting out junk requests
- Lower the chance of installing unwanted software or getting scammed
- Work automatically for every connected device
- Detect and ban shady traffic in real time using behavior-based threat protection
- Auto-ban sketchy IPs before they become a problem, thanks to built-in threat detection
- Block ads and block attackers — CrowdSec handles the second part
❌ What Kansibox Can't Do
- It can’t block video ads that are embedded into streams (like YouTube or news apps)
- It won’t block ads inside some mobile apps that use direct ad delivery
- It doesn’t replace your antivirus software or firewall
- It can’t block commercials built into live TV or streaming services
Kansibox works by blocking access to bad stuff before it loads—by filtering DNS requests. But if an ad is already included inside the video stream itself, it's too late. Think of it like ordering a pizza with anchovies already baked in. Kansibox can stop the bad toppings from getting in the kitchen, but once they’re cooked into the slice, there’s no way to pull them out without making a mess. That’s why it can’t remove video ads that are part of the stream—you’d have to block the entire video to get rid of them.
🏡 Why You Want It

❓ FAQ – Questions You Might Be Too Polite to Ask
- Will it block YouTube ads?
Sort of. It blocks some ads that come from known ad servers, but YouTube often embeds ads directly into the video stream. Those can’t be filtered by DNS. - Will it block ads on Fox News, CNN, and other news sites?
Yes—for banners, sidebars, popups, and trackers. But not the video ads. Those are baked into the stream like anchovies on a pizza. Once they’re cooked in, Kansibox can’t pick them out without ruining the whole thing. - Will it block Netflix or Hulu commercials?
No. Kansibox can’t filter ads that are part of the video content itself. Those aren't served separately. - Will it break anything?
Usually not. If it does, we can whitelist the issue in seconds—no tech knowledge required. - Do I have to install anything on my devices?
Nope. It protects every device automatically as soon as it’s on the network. - Does it work on smart TVs, game consoles, and fridges?
Absolutely. If it connects to your Wi-Fi, it benefits from Kansibox. - Will my internet be faster?
Yes. By blocking junk traffic before it loads, sites respond quicker and devices work more efficiently. - Does it block malware or phishing sites?
Yes, using known threat lists. It’s not antivirus, but it helps stop you from visiting dangerous places in the first place. - Does it protect against hackers or brute-force attacks?
Yes. Kansibox includes CrowdSec, an open-source security engine that monitors for suspicious traffic and bans malicious IPs automatically. If something shady tries knocking on your network, CrowdSec blocks it before it gets inside. - Is it private?
100%. Kansibox doesn’t send your data anywhere. It runs locally, on your network. - What if I unplug the box?
Your internet still works—you just lose the blocking protection until it’s back on. - Can my ISP see what I’m doing?
Not nearly as much. Kansibox reduces DNS tracking and keeps your activity private. - Is this like antivirus?
Not quite. Kansibox stops traffic before it reaches your devices. Antivirus cleans up if something slips through. They work best together. - Is it worth it?
If you’ve ever clicked something shady or explained to a family member not to, then yes—Kansibox is your new best friend. - What is DNS? Why does Kansibox care about it?
DNS is the internet’s phone book. When you type a site name, your device looks it up using DNS to find the real address (IP). Normally, that request goes to your ISP or Google. With Kansibox, the request goes to the device first—and it blocks anything sketchy before your device ever sees it. Like having a librarian rip out the junk pages before handing you the book.
