Blocking Ads using an Ad Blocking DNS Server
Using Ad Blocking DNS Server is one of the best ways to prevent Ads. The benefits of using this method are that you get improved security, privacy, and blocking the annoying Ads. There are some perfect Ad Blocking DNS servers such as AdGuard and Alternative DNS. You can use any of these services, but we are using the Alternative DNS here. Here’s how you can do it.

Open the Settings
Find “My Fire TV” and open it.
In this section, go to about section and tap “Network.” We will use it later.
Now go to settings again, go to Network section, and select your Wifi. Tap the “Forget this network.” Use this step if your Firestick is connected to your Wifi.
Now go to connections and tap the Advanced.
Enter the IP Address, Gateway, and Subnet Mask from the picture you took in the first step.
Now Enter the Primary (DNS1) and Secondary (DNS2) settings and tap “next.”
In this way, you can easily set up the Ad Blocking DNS on your Firestick and get rid of the Ads.

What Are DNS Servers?
DNS servers translate the friendly domain name you enter into a browser (like lifewire.com) into the public IP address that's needed for your device to actually communicate with that site.

Your ISP automatically assigns DNS servers when your smartphone or router connects to the internet but you don't have to use those. There are lots of reasons you might want to try alternative ones (we get into many of them in Why Use Different DNS Servers? a bit further down the page) but privacy and speed are two big wins you could see from switching.

Primary DNS servers are sometimes called preferred DNS servers and secondary DNS servers sometimes alternate DNS servers. Primary and secondary DNS servers can be "mixed and matched" from different providers to protect you if the primary provider has problems.
