This repository provides a host and domainname based blocklist specifically designed for use with dnsmasq. Most entries are gathered from multiple, actively maintained sources and automatically updated, cleaned, optimized and moderated on a daily basis.

The optimizer makes full use of dnsmasqs capability to block entire domains such as *.doubleclick.net (domains.txt). This reduces the chance of missing any new subdomains and significantly reduces the size of the blocklists. Hostnames that cannot be blocked on a domain level will still be listed in a regular hostname based blocklist (hostnames.txt).

It's important to use both domains.txt and hostnames.txt simultaniously in dnsmasq to get full coverage!

• Should not break useful websites or apps
• Blocks tracking servers
• Blocks advertising servers
• Blocks analytics servers
• Blocks fake websites
• Blocks malware servers
• Blocks webminers

• Download the following two files (or use a daily cronjob to do it automatically)

• Add the following lines to your dnsmasq.conf

conf-file=/path/to/domains.txt
addn-hosts=/path/to/hostnames.txt

• Restart dnsmasq sudo service dnsmasq restart

Unfortunately pi-hole currently does not provide an easy way to use dnsmasqs 'conf-file' feature, making the key feature of this blocklist (blocking domains) useless, see this post for more info. Using only our hostname list will not give you full coverage. At this moment it is recommended to set up you own dnsmasq configuration to make full use of our blocklists.
