Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that - mine does do this, and the LED is right in the bottom middle, and it’s super bright.

So, I use regex to block all Roku domains on my network via pihole:

(ads|logs|cloudservices|image|images|web|prod.mobile|wwwimg|captive|customer-feedbacks|amoeba|amoeba2|sr|giga.sb|cs).roku(.admeasurement)*.com$

Then, possibly overkill due to the above, I used OpnSense firewall rules to block all traffic from my Roku tv. I think I just got fed up with seeing Roku spam in my pihole, as the above regex seems to completely “break” Roku.

After that, I set up FLauncher (following the method #2 instructions on the gitlab page) on my shield. This makes it so I only see the Roku launcher for a few seconds while the shield starts up, and then I’m dropped straight into flauncher. I chose flauncher because it’s very simple and barebones, so you might want to explore other options if you want more advanced features. I don’t really need those features since I’m usually using an app anyway.

Roku is bad, I have one older Roku ““smart”” tv that I just block from accessing the internet entirely, and use a shield with a custom launcher instead.

I thought it was a scam at first, as on the surface it resembles a romance/pig butchering scam. But if you dig a little deeper, it seems like it could be a harassment campaign targeting someone. The matrix server basically doxes someone’s workplace, and the pictures of “Nicole” are screenshots from a webcam. At no point have I noticed any ask for sending funds.
