Here's a novel idea: why not just IGNORE the ads and re-type the damn domain name in?
How is the automated spam filter that checks the DNS for invalid domains do that? Heck it does not even see that page as DNS does not use http protocol. How do you fix the DNS search order issue or VPN issues apparening after this change. More stuff breaks when you mess with DNS.

Internet is not just web and it is not limited to simply placing ads on error pages of the browser (which may be acceptable that should they have done it via an add-on plug-in to the web browser only)
