pihole-updatelists VS pihole-regex

I'm using this fork of the official pihole docker https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists. This docker image by default contains the block lists form https://firebog.net/, but only the safe ones that shouldn't affect web browsing which is what I've seen the past few days I've been running it.

I'm using https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists to take care of that, recommended.

You configure black lists in pihole that block the pertinent domains. There are even adding you can install that will keep the black lists updated (https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists)

Hello fellow unRAIDERs. I’ve got Pihole up and running no issues. I’ve seen suggestions for “The Firebog” (https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php) as extra URL’s to add to Pihole. One was wondering general consensus are people doing and like the results? And for the unRAID specific question I did a quick search for the “pihole-updatelists” (https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists) in the apps section so wondering if anyone has been able to automate this process on their unRAID server. It seems to me initial look like that would be almost necessary to not create lots of extra work. Thanks!

I had to look back at my configuration. I actually build a container with Unbound and it uses https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists to auto update block lists with firebog.net lists.

Especially if you use something like jacklul/pihole-updatelists

There are wrappers for updating regex lists that can be modified with other URLs. This was floating around for a while: https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/install.py and this is another method: https://www.bentasker.co.uk/posts/documentation/general/refreshing-piholes-regex-block-list-from-external-sources.html With enough regex tweaking I bet you could shave at least tens of thousands of lines off your list, and it could be divided into regex entries for domains where it makes sense, with the rest being non-regex domain entries. Simple regex that is functionally equivalent to AdBlock style wildcard blocks won't notably bog down the system either. It might take a few hours to get a workflow going to streamline producing such a list, but it can be done.

I also have a bunch of RegEx blacklisted from this pihole-regex/regex.list at master · mmotti/pihole-regex · GitHub and these:

Here's a list of domains I've used for years. All of which have been collected from different websites and sources such as https://firebog.net/ and https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex.

I also suggest these regex blocks

Your mileage may vary, but a combination of the default pi-hole list, the firebog.net lists (green, checkmark lists only), and the https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/regex.list do a pretty complete job for me.

While not perfect, and does not directly address the YouTube ads, I can suggest setting up mmotti's Regex Filters for Pi-hole.

I did also find these as well: https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/regex.list
