blocklists VS 1Hosts

It lets you run the "on-device" version of RethinkDNS+. It lets you set blocklists to help you block domains based on categories such as trackers & ads, cryptocurrencies, gambling, social media, adult, security etc with precurated list of blocklists (which are defined here). These are DNS-based blocklists, so as such, they're less powerful than anti-ad browsers like Brave, Vivaldi or browser-based plugins like uBlockOrigin, AdGuard.

There's an open issue to include it: github/serverless-dns/blocklists/issues/21 (the reason we haven't already is that it isn't clear if existing blocklists are insufficient compared to it).

Filter list: Rethink actually has had 1:1 filter support with NextDNS for a long time. It doesn't now since NextDNS has moved a lot of its filters away from the erstwhile open metadata repository. So, now we do our own lists: https://github.com/serverless-dns/blocklists

Commit: https://github.com/serverless-dns/blocklists/commit/ffc73385e166e4d74af20471abfda327f7d89bb8

The code that generates the blocklists is also open source.

We _do_ compile to reduce memory and cpu impact. RethinkDNS app can do 5M entries without breaking a sweat. You don't see us ask folks to not use larger lists because the implementation is such. The code which compresses these blocklists into a compact form for use on mobile devices is open source: github.com/serverless-dns/blocklists/

The repository that builds these (and other lists) for RethinkDNS (the resolver) is at https://github.com/serverless-dns/blocklists

Others include badmojr's excellent blocklists and OISD's dnsmasq-ready domains lists.

Oh btw a sidenote: instead of the Energized lists you can use the 1Hosts lists, it is awesome as well.

I think 1Hosts PRO is a good replacement, but try Lite or Pro whichever you prefer. https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts You may try combining other HOSTS lists with this if you want to, and are technically adept enough.

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]

Well, our goal is to stay problem free 100% of the time while maximizing our effectivness. The lists we use are as follows: https://abp.oisd.nl/ https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts/raw/master/Lite/adblock.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CipherOps/AdList/main/Blocklist

I will strongly suggest to opt out from their lists. That's what I did. 1Hosts is very good and the people in charge of the lists respond and are pretty helpful. https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts
