blacklist VS PiHoleBlocklist

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.

It was definitely worth buying adguard for me + it supported ios and macos which i use as well. As for as blocking - both blokada/adguard provides default list, based on what you want in addition you can add blocklist source to those apps. Example - https://github.com/anudeepND/blacklist/blob/master/facebook.txt

Your list needs to be updated regularly. Like /u/Rendered_Pixels said, it can't magically sniff out ads, so you'll need to keep your list of blacklisted domains up-to-date. With a little bit of scripting, you can automate this process by pulling from a curated list like this one.

I know there are several hosts files out there with lists of domains to block (such as https://github.com/anudeepND/blacklist or https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists), but I'm looking for something different.

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.
