Description

Protectstar™ is a security company that made anti-virus and anti spy apps for Android
Incl. Anti-virus AI®, Anti-spy®, iShedder® etc.

They are featured in USA Today, Bild, CNN Underscored, CNN Money.

By blocking this site, potentially it will cause API to break and updating malware database definitions will not be possible. It can be possible that some trackers may be included in subdomains, but that is up to you to figure that out. But I don't think there are trackers based on what they made.

What was I going to do?: I was going to update malware database definitions on my phone, but instead it said, error occurred, please try again, and I can't access the main page.

If there is something important that I am missing out on, please let me know.

Expected behaviour

I expected that I can normally update the malware database and access the product page without problems.

Current behaviour

Instead the API domain (api.protectstar.com) has been blocked and caused the malware database updates to stop working, and because the main domain isn't whitelisted, I can't access the main page either.

Steps to reproduce

For reproducing steps for broken malware database
Step 1. Go to Play Store
Step 2. Search (pub: Protectstar Inc).
Step 3. Find the app named Antivirus AI
Step 4. Download it.
Step 5. Set it up
Step 6. In settings (to clarify, it is in the anti-virus app), go to device immunity & click check.
It will show up as Error occurred, please try again

For reproducing steps for broken main page
Step 1. Use a formal browser (for example: Chrome).
Step 2. Go to www.protectstar.com
It will show up as a NXDOMAIN or DNS refused page.

Possible reason/solution

Whitelisting the domains www.protectstar.com & api.protectstar.com, but I can also suggest to whitelist the whole domain, I can't see a reason why a security company that made products like Camera Guard would just track & spy on consumers, I even checked logs to see what they had, may not be keen but I didn't see any trackers & ads so far.

Additional information

How I am using this on my phone you may ask?
Well you see, I'm using an AdGuard Android client software for this, and I am just using this whitelist as a whitelist for prevention of broken domains and links & even potentially some core functions of some applications.

I'm currently very busy IRL so this repo is now currently not in active development.

Please don't expect any commits until August 2023.

its a dns leak testing website and also acts as a "what is my ip" website

I cleaned up this repo and finalized version 1.1.

The upcoming version 1.2 is:

• focused on optional modules (whitelist.txt will remain an all-in-one default)
• scheduled to release in late January 2022. 🤞

Description

While running, Brave will make lots of requests to the domain p3a.brave.com as telemetry. They claim they store the collected data for several days.
Brave has a rewards program.At first glance it looks like the rewards program is an opt-in, but the browser makes requests to these domains regardless if you sign up or not:
rewards.brave.com
api.rewards.brave.com
grant.rewards.brave.com
Brave on first run sends a request to fetch the library used for checking spelling errors:
variations.brave.com
Brave fetches the list of affiliates through
laptop-updates.brave.com
Brave makes a request to static1.brave.com every once and a while, which looks like it's used to fetch plugin information?
When the url was placed into the browser, it was directed to Google's error 404 page
On the first run, Brave fetches five extensions from brave-core-ext.s3.brave.com and tries to install them

Expected behaviour

Remove this spying domain

Current behaviour

Spaying domen being whitelisted

Steps to reproduce

Run brave

Possible reason/solution

No response

Additional information
