Blocklist Syntax

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/pihole

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Pi-hole

    A black hole for Internet advertisements

  • dns-blocklists

    Lists and configuration for our DNS blocking service (by mullvad)

  • You can just go to FilterLists and choose Pi-hole in the software column to see hundreds of options. Hell, if someone doesn't want to do any digging at all, they can even use the default aggregated blocklists from a service like Mullvad straight from their Github repository and call it a day. The whole thing is ridiculous. I don't get why anyone would limit themselves to one list on a flexible platform like Pi-hole, where they can easily pick a few carefully maintained lists and literally have the software aggregate those sources for them. The notion that Pi-hole isn't flexible is insane too, with regex easily filling in for AdBlock Plus syntax and the like.

  • InfluxDB

  • The Blocklist Project

    These lists were created because the founder of the project wanted something with a little more control over what is being blocked. Many lists out there are all or nothing. We set out to create lists with more control over what is being blocked and believe that we have accomplished that. (by blocklistproject)
