GitHub – pi-hole/pi-hole: A black hole for Internet advertisements
There's a specific list for it: https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/
It's listed on https://firebog.net/
-
Android malware from Amazon straight to your door
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]

Samsung TV 85% of my DNS queries
Here’s a specific blocklist for Smart TVs that can be used in Adguard Home: https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist

Ad block test - what score do you get?
Smart-TV Blocklist
- I spent $3,000 on a Samsung Smart TV and all I got were ads and unwanted content
- Are Smart TVs a Smart Choice?
-
Target List Plans - Good seeing various updates
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.

Samsung UK admits you can’t disable ads on Samsung smart TV
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.

- LPT: If you own a Samsung smart TV that has ads, you can block them by adding ads.samsung.com to your block list on your internet router

DNS server set to Pihole but no traffic
I've added the Ads & Tracking list and the AMP Hosts list from Developer Dan to the default list; any others you recommend I add? It's hard to tell if the ads coming through are a 'my blocklist isn't good enough' problem or a 'my pihole's not set up properly yet' problem.

Annoying A/B testing mistakes every engineer should know
Posthog is on developerdans "Ads & Tracking" blocklist[1], if you're wondering why this doesn't load.

Is it okay to use pi-hole if I don’t know what the hell I’m doing?
This is how you learn. Going forward you'll start noticing some ads and some not, based on the default adlist. I think the default adlist is good enough for starting. But you should also look into developer dan's adlist and ticked firebog adlist.
-
What filters do you people use for adguard?
Enable most of the default ones, use DNS filtering. I use Cloudflare DNS. And for some third-party filters you can load, I recommend Steven Black hosts, OISD blocklists, Developer Dan hosts and AnudeepND Blacklist.
- Benign domains randomly being blocked?
- Any recommendations for a streaming device where the home screen is not 90% ads?
-
Using pi-hole to reduce my grandparents vulnerability to scams?
Did you bother looking at the sticky issue that says the lists are in maintenance mode? I’m trying un-inspire confidence https://github.com/lightswitch05/hosts/issues/356
- TikTok Tracks You Across the Web, Even If You Don’t Use App
- Pi-hole FTL v5.18, Web v5.15 and Core v5.12.1 released
-
Use more than just the OSID list?
FYI https://github.com/lightswitch05/hosts/issues/356

The Blocklist Project - These lists were created because the founder of the project wanted something with a little more control over what is being blocked. Many lists out there are all or nothing. We set out to create lists with more control over what is being blocked and believe that we have accomplished that.
