I have a Hisense TV. I was wondering if there's an easy way to firewall their TV so that it only has access to Google Store and Netflix? Make it so the TV can't reach anything else?

I don't currently have any firewall. I have ddwrt as my main router. I can whip up a pihole if needed.

I'd recommend setting up the router so that "dns requests" are always forwarded to your pihole so that at least hardcoded dns servers are caught. Depends on the router how this can be done (if at all).
