🔮How it works
Learn: we strongly recommend you reading the following so you know how we make this work before continuing to the installation.
🏃♂️ TL:DR
TTV LOL PRO uses a proxy-based solution to avoid SSAI ads on Twitch. Twitch ads can't be blocked, at all, but can be avoided/bypassed.
Also known as "server-sided" solutions, TTV LOL PRO fully relies on a proxy in an ad-free country for it to avoid any possible Twitch ad that is embedded into the stream (also known as SSAI).
We avoid SSAI ads, but VOD or banner ads are not handled by the TTV LOL PRO project, as some other amazing project already handles those.
uBlock Origin must be used alongside TTV LOL PRO to ensure the effectiveness of the extension and to block VOD and banner ads. We won't give any support to users using different ad blockers (including uBlock Origin Lite) or not using any at all.
Additionally, you can add the following uBlock Origin filter that's maintained by us to remove some stuff that uBlock Origin default filters (at the time of writing) don't: https://ttvlolpro.com/filter.txt
TTV LOL PRO by default provides a set of proxies for Firefox and Chromium users. We do apply rate limits on them, and a fair use policy. More information about that here: Proxy information

To avoid/bypass the ads we proxy different Twitch endpoints which are the following:
video-weaver.*.hls.ttvnw.net(Required)*.playlist.live-video.net(Required)*.playlist.ttvnw.net(Required)usher.ttvnw.net(Required)gql.twitch.tv(Required)passport.twitch.tv(Optional)www.twitch.tv(Optional)
However, we do not proxy the stream itself, which results in minimum bandwidth usage on the proxy's end. By default, the option "Proxy ad requests" is enabled, which reduces significantly the bandwidth usage compared to "Proxy all requests".
We do filter which requests to be proxied and which not. In some cases, for example, some gql.twitch.tv requests may be left unproxied as it's not needed.
