The Blocklist Project VS PiHoleBlocklist

This one is good, very few false positives: https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/porn.txt

Here's a good starting list of TikTok hosts, of which overlaps a few of ByteDance's domains: https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/tiktok...

For the past few years I've just used the standard StevenBlack one that is enabled by default when you setup PiHole, and it covers the large majority of ads. The only ads I still see are on YouTube and Twitch, and as far as I know those can't be blocked with a DNS sinkhole since the ads are served from the same domain as the content. The lists on that site seem like they let you block a bunch of other stuff, not necessarily ads, but domains related to gambling, crypto, TikTok etc. That's a bit different.

There are lots of great sources for block lists. I used some site a long time ago that helped you build a custom list. I cant find the link but still lots of good sources like : https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists

do check out: blocklist project Homepage: https://blocklist.site

i using one off these: https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/tiktok.txt

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.
