What is a DNS Rebinding attack and how does an adblocker protect you?

DNS Rebinding attacks allow malicious web pages in your browser to bypass the Same-Origin Policy (SOP), gaining direct access to scan and control your local devices, such as routers, IoT cameras, or your home NAS server.

Cross-local network protection

Standard browsers fail to block cross-site requests to private IPs. AdBlock Network puts a stop to this redirection. The software performs read-only asynchronous requests to multiple independent endpoints to update the firewall, configuring the Address layer to deny any requests from your active tab to private IPs on your local network.
