MinusPod is a self-hosted server that removes ads before you ever hit play. It transcribes episodes with Whisper, uses an LLM to detect and cut ad segments, and gets smarter over time by building cross-episode ad patterns and learning from your corrections. Bring your own LLM -- Claude, Ollama, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible provider.

Open-source podcast ad removal system that uses Whisper transcription and the Claude API (or local LLMs via Ollama) to automatically detect and strip host-read sponsorships, dynamically inserted ads, and pre/mid/post-roll breaks from podcast feeds. Serves modified RSS feeds compatible with any podcast app—features multi-pass detection, audio fingerprinting, and cross-episode pattern learning.

I have been using this tool daily for the last 3 months. In general, I feel that it works pretty well. Unfortunately, I don't have a real measurement of accuracy, but it feels like it works ~95% of the time.

Shameless plug but it will allow you to create on demand OpenVPN Endpoints on AWS. However you will be shifting trust to AWS. https://github.com/ttlequals0/autovpn

The goal for this was a dynamic approach to create and destroy endpoints on the fly. The OpenVPN Access Sever is typically for a more permanent deployment.
