blocky VS FilterLists

I run multiple blocky instances in a kubernetes cluster. I don't know if it makes sense ... but I'm running kubernetes cluster at home, so making sense is relative ;p

The PI is running a DNS proxy (https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky) and not much else at the moment.

I switched from pihole to https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky for internal DNS, and I found it to be a lot easier to use compared to pihole. Setting up DNS entries was as easy as typing a single line in their config.yml, and restarting the service.

You could try using blocky instead of pihole. It's stateless and much more friendly to run.

Link to the Projects' GitHub pages: 1. https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky [Blocky] 2. https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome [AdguardHome] 3. https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole [Pi-hole]

Any specific feature you need from pihole that Blocky doesn't have? Blocky is a much nicer tool for AdBlocking especially if deployed in k8s because it's stateless and configured via a single config file. Plus it's written in Go!

Still, to answer the question: https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky

There is also blocky. I like it because it is light, declarative, stateless, can use redis as cache and has prometheus integration. This plays really nicely with my setup.

They are all here, sortable by syntaxe or software: https://filterlists.com/

1) I deleted youtube and similar apps from my phone 2) Switched default browser to firefox, and installed the uBlock origin extension 3) Searched for filter lists on https://filterlists.com/ that block YT shorts, YT recommendations etc., even hide the "Shorts" button.

You 100% do not need 3 adblockers. uBlock Origin with sufficient filters and the right blocking mode is all you need.

ALUST is the first example that came to mind, don't discard my point because of that when filterlists.com is right there.

There's also some mobile annoyances lists you can add. filterlists.com is a good place to start exploring.

https://filterlists.com sad search for porn.

You can just go to FilterLists and choose Pi-hole in the software column to see hundreds of options. Hell, if someone doesn't want to do any digging at all, they can even use the default aggregated blocklists from a service like Mullvad straight from their Github repository and call it a day. The whole thing is ridiculous. I don't get why anyone would limit themselves to one list on a flexible platform like Pi-hole, where they can easily pick a few carefully maintained lists and literally have the software aggregate those sources for them. The notion that Pi-hole isn't flexible is insane too, with regex easily filling in for AdBlock Plus syntax and the like.
