Question about Protectli Vault configurations
So I have had a similar experience. This is how I have solved it. There is a list out there (https://github.com/kevinle-1/Windows-Telemetry-Blocklist/blob/master/windowsblock.txt) that has the list of Microsoft telemetry. However, I have heard from online sources that Microsoft is still able to do telemetry with these blocked. I am not sure how true that is, but I like to play it safe than sorry. Here is what I did to solve the apple problem: little snitch. I know MB talked about it, and I downloaded it yesterday and it works wonders. It blocks all apple and iCloud telemetry off the bat. As for windows, I can’t just tell you to “move to Linux” lol cause it’s not really a good answer or even a solution to your problem. I used this site to update pfsense ( or pfblockerng to be exact) https://linuxincluded.com/using-pfblockerng-on-pfsense/ . The windows list I sent you earlier, I WOULD NOT recommend you manually enter those in the dns blocklist on pfsense. I have tried that, and my blocklist reboot took forever. The better option would be to use the method from the website (2nd link) and then add the website link to pfsense instead of the whole list. I have not tried this one out, so it is uncharted territory, once I do I’ll lyk how it goes. I would say if you put both the blocklist’s of apple, iCloud, and windows on pfsense, you should hopefully be set! I do apologize about the tangent, but just wanted to give you a heads up. Feel free to DM if you have more questions!

Radicle: Open-Source, Peer-to-Peer, GitHub Alternative
This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.
Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).
A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.
Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

Higher fees, more ads: streaming cashes in by using the old tactics of cable TV
It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.

It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

In 2024, please switch to Firefox
I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.
Adguard [1] is a decent free option.
I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Overwhelmed by a project
Are you trying to build a DNS proxy (similar to Pi-hole) that intercepts DNS requests and checks for the ones that look harmful? If so, I would suggest trying to separately build a DNS client and a DNS server, before trying to integrate them together. Start with Beej's Guide to Network Programming if you need to learn the basics of sockets, and then take a look at the documents that define the DNS protocol itself (RFC1034 and RFC1035).
