I added split.io to my Pi-Holes while list but it still crashes.

split.io, segment.io, app-measurement.com, ... these domains do not really serve ads, they are used for analytics which one can argue is a privacy issue. But some Android apps just refuse to start if you block some of these domains.

People here must not be using Animation libraries, or A/B testing libraries (ala split.io) etc.. these bring in hundreds of modules alone.... terrible, but I'm thinking many of those posting aren't really building for serious enterprise production type websites.

I looked up split.io and their website is worse. I see some technical jargon that I recognize, but the rest is gibberish. Makes me think there is room for providing better content in the space.

The product website looks good. Congrats for shipping! It would be great if you had some comparison pages against Launchdarkly, split.io and friends.

Other apps I've noticed that do it well are Stripe, split.io and localize.biz - although in localize's case it's more of a light activity log.

Thank you! I hadn't wildcarded split.io - now it seems to be working again. I'll have to keep a close eye on it to see if anything else changes with it.

yeah, we are using split.io (large file) and react-spring etc.. not a lot of alternatives.. thanks!

Thanks u/CCGabrielaM and u/CCJoshuaT, but I got it working now. I had to whitelist split.io in my DNS sinkhole.

Sometimes there are issues if you block certain sites like split.io, etc. Might be something similar.

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
