  • cname-trackers

    This repository contains a list of popular CNAME trackers

  • AdGuardHome

    Network-wide ads & trackers blocking DNS server

    • This is also part of AdGuard Home . I think this was the PR that fixed it - https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/issues/1185 .

    If you haven't tried out AdGuard Home, I can highly recommend it. Has same feature set as Pi-Hole and support DoT as well. It's also super trivial to install since it's just a Go binary. Have been using it for ages now and love it!

  • FTL

    The Pi-hole FTL engine

    • For fellow Pi-hole users deep CNAME inspection was added in [v5.0](https://github.com/pi-hole/FTL/releases/tag/v5.0).

  • stealth

    :rocket: Stealth - Secure, Peer-to-Peer, Private and Automateable Web Browser/Scraper/Proxy

    • Maybe you want to take a look at stealth [1] as you've seem to understood the real strength of a browser with a decentralized (and delegateable) request system.

    Personally I don't think the strength of p2p is only trust, it's delegation. If you have peer to peer encryption running, the possibilities are endless.

  • ip-blindness

    • "Near-path NAT"[1] has been suggested as a mechanism that browsers can use to proxy requests through an intermediate server, similar to what you suggest.

  • metadata

    This repository contains the data behind our Security, Privacy and Parental Control features.

    • I just proposed to this merged to NextDNS.io (a kind of Pi-Hole in the cloud) reference blocklists: https://github.com/nextdns/metadata/issues/601
