If you don't trust their DNS servers for whatever reason, you can simply add these entries to your hosts file to replicate their functionality locally.

You don't really need AdGuard DNS in this setting, the filter it use is already included in the DNS blocking filter if you enable it, which you should, since this way DNS requests are filtered immediately instead of having to go all the way to the AdGuard DNS server every single time. Feel free to combine it with other DNS servers if you want, eg, maybe you find one that is faster/blocks malware better, etc. The requests then will only resolve if the adblocking filter doesn't block it and the DNS server also approve it.

Technically, not all rules in EasyList are included in AdGuard DNS, because some of the rules are URL patterns that can't be supported by DNS-based filtering.

Adguard DNS Filter? You mean this one? https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardSDNSFilter There's a link there in project description.

If you're asking what DNS filters I use on AGH, then it's a mixture of adblocking, security, and specific purpose. I'm using the standard AdGuard filter plus:

There's a specific list for it: https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/

It's listed on https://firebog.net/

For what it's worth that domain in your repo is also listed in the 1Hosts block-list [1] but only in the Xtra category, not sure why. It seems that is a known malware site. Oddly enough it is not listed in the PiHoleBlocklist [2]

[1] - https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts [listed but only in Xtra]

[2] - https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist.git [not listed]

Here’s a specific blocklist for Smart TVs that can be used in Adguard Home: https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist

Smart-TV Blocklist

For example, https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/blob/master/SmartTV.txt blocks tons of crap tv's send out, but firewalla doesn't stop much of it and you know how smart devices are. Yes, you could make a manual list, but is insanely time intensive. Smart devices on my network; nextdns blocks over 10000 connections a day.

I use this [1] and never seen an ad on my LG TV. Its only for Smart TVs. It blocks all the major TV ad networks too but can't tell how successful it is on other TVs since I only have LG.
