Smart TV - firewall so it can only access google store and netflix? (alien.top)

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.

Problem is the internet isn't a bunch of domains, but IP addresses. So, google or netflix use a large set of rotating, load balanced, IP addresses for their services and they use domains (and dns resolution at the edge) to provide an IP address for the server closest to you and available at that time.
