So, I was setting up my pihole and blocking certain sites, I figured out a simple way to do it and I'd like to share it:
First, I added this list to my blocked group: [GitHub - paulbrandie/Pi-Hole-Porn-Blocking: List of porn sites that can be read by Pi-Hole.](https://github.com/paulbrandie/Pi-Hole-Porn-Blocking)
Then, in DOMAINS \>\> regex filter , I created two rules: ^hentai and hentai$ , basically, "^hentai" blocks any site that has any character before 'h', and "hentai$" blocks any site that has any character after 'i', so any site with that word is blocked, adding of course with the txt I added

Your regex rules are wrong.
- `^hentai` will block domains **starting** with "hentai" (`hentai.domain.com`).
- `hentai$` will block domains **ending** with "hentai" (`www.domain.hentai`... _I doubt this will ever match something_).
Your rules will never block domains with hentai in the middle (`www.hentai.com` won't be blocked).
You only need one regex rule: `hentai`. This will match any domain containing the string "hentai", no matter the position.

Apart from the wrong regex, i doubt that each and every hentai site has hentai in the domain name.

I use this block list for all kinds of nsfw stuff [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/adblock/nsfw.txt](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/adblock/nsfw.txt)

I have some regex filters you can try out and expand on, hope this helps. Add as denied in the RegEx filter tab.
^(._[.-]+)?([a-z0-9]+)?onlyfans([0-9a-zA-Z]+)?([.-].+)$
Blocks 1000
^(._[_.-]+)?([a-z0-9]+)?hentai([0-9a-zA-Z]+)?([_.-].+)$
Blocks 10,000
^(._[.-]+)?([a-z0-9]+)?porn([0-9a-zA-Z]+)?([.-].+)$
Blocks 126,000
^(._[_.-]+)?([a-z0-9]+)?slut([0-9a-zA-Z]+)?([_.-].+)$
Blocks 7000

Thanks for the share. It blocked some of the stuff my original list didn’t cover.
