my-pihole-blocklists VS blocklist-ipsets

Pi-hole should work fine for content blocking, you would basically create a group for the kids, add their devices via MAC, and then assign blocklists to that group to block content you don't want kids to see. There's lists available to block pornography, dating services, SPLC designated hate groups, gambling and a whole bunch of other stuff. You can also add sites individually.

Tangentially related:

Somebody created a github containing domains he thought should be blocked: https://github.com/chadmayfield/my-pihole-blocklists

A year later I bought a domain that had expired under my country TLD. It turns out that domain for some reason was previously added to that list.

Now, as you can see, the man behind that Github repo has decided to archive that repo and therefore make it read only.

As you can tell from both pull requests and issues on that repo, people has asked him to remote legitimate domains (e.g. *.urbandictionary.com). But those calls remain unanswered. It is fruitless to contact the author.

So this random dude causes real problems for legitimate business and individuals and we should just accept it?

Obviously he doesn't act on friendly geek requests. It seems lawyering up would be the only recourse in this situation. I find it analogous to somebody standing on a soap box in a village and announcing: "Don't trust James. Don't trust Mary either. There's problems with Charles" and James, Mary, and Charles have no way of stopping his libel.

I don't have the funds for legal action, but it is obviously wrong that he can announce "these domains are bad" and offer no way of fixing mistakes. He should take down the repo, but oh that sweet sweet Github karma probably discourages him from doing so.

Have you checked out https://github.com/chadmayfield/my-pihole-blocklists

I got mine from here: https://github.com/chadmayfield/my-pihole-blocklists sorry if not allowed to post links. This list seemed to match some sites I know about and others that I wouldn't want the kids to find really.

I use the Chad Mayfield list (the "all" variant)

Look into FireHol and its use of IPsets: https://firehol.org/guides/ipset/ | http://iplists.firehol.org/ - you can easily do what you’re wanting with these two.

Yes, unfortunately i think this also happened other times with Firehol L3 (you can see https://github.com/firehol/blocklist-ipsets/issues/188) but thanks for the lists advice.

It sounds like you want to jump into game development before learning how to write "Hello, world!". Try using any of the open source tools that already do this and sign up for some "free" threat intel tools and learn the lay of the land. https://www.misp-project.org/ https://github.com/OpenCTI-Platform/opencti https://iplists.firehol.org/ https://www.greynoise.io/

I believe you are running SSH over default port 22 - feel free to change that. You can also use iplists from FireHOL to block any connection from blacklisted (on way or another) IPs - https://iplists.firehol.org/

Tor exits are tracked here [1] and in a few other block-list repos. The data is built from Tor's exit node list [2]
