Just sharing my blocklist; dbl.oisd.nl

If you are scanning for invalid domains, perhaps only do that once before you add a new domain (identify the new domains before you add them to your existing list). Scan those, and the ones that are valid go to the master list. Then scan the master list occasionally to see if any of the domains died.

That is how I do it.
Well actually a little different;
As soon are there are new domains, they will be added.
The DNS check lags behind max 24 hours.
This is by design, I rather have some dead domains in my blocklist and have the latest blocking protection, then to have no dead domains in it and miss out on the latest protection.

That sound like a good plan.
I however lack the time to set this up myself atm.

Please, make a mirror to gitlab! github is from microsoft :frowning:

This regex looks very nice, but i found this same regex on reddit and there is someone that says after a while youtube video's going to broken. after remove the regex, youtube video's working again. What can you tell us about this regex? (i know its was a example, but it looks nice)

Awesome.

Now we only need a pihole option to auto download regex lists and we're all set.

Plot twist; I've checked the domains on my blocklist once before..
However.. I still have the full list (raw unchecked domains).. over 4 million domains. I would be amazed if they're all really dead.
I can provide you with a temp link, or mail it to you if you are interested.

You also can use the dig command with different DNS servers, like: dig www.google.com @1.1.1.1, www.google.com @8.8.4.4., www.google.com @8.8.8.8, etc.
In this case requests are spread.
DNS servers to be use: 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 8.26.56.26 and 8.20.247.20 (Commodo), 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (OpenDNS), 199.85.126.10 and 199.85.127.10 (Norton), OpenNIC (see https://www.opennic.org)
A list of public DNS servers: https://public-dns.info/. Pro country you can download a plain txt file with all their IP addresses of that country.

You have to make a routine that chose 1 of them from the list before doing the dig.
Using this 'construction' the PI can run at full speed.

I dont have gitlab account though you can host it ur self on gitlab and run a cron script to update every 24 hours ~~ :sunglasses:

I added Gitlab repo, Enjoy :sunglasses:

Nice hosts list! i use the gitlab!

Can you add this hosts list to:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker/master/data/hosts/spy.txt
And
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EnergizedProtection/block/master/extensions/xtreme/formats/domains.txt

The first is already included.
The second is not. Too many false positives.

Nice! and i found another good list (blocking the android tracks):
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/master/android-tracking.txt

Not included because of it's facebook entries.
Offtopic.. You sure you wanna do this? Come up with 1 or 2 (new) lists you've found every time?

I have tried pihole for the first time with this host and there is something weird. I see "www.googletagservices.com Blocked (gravity)", but other side i see that this isn't be blocked:
"www.googletagmanager.com OK (forwarded)"

I need to know why? Why dont you block this two google-trackers?

Thank you for pointing that out to me!
I seemed to be including a whitelist that had that entry in it.
Stopped including that whitelist.

Fixed. Please update gravity. :wink:

You need to block "www.google-analytics.com" to and maybe also "imasdk.googleapis.com"

They were whitelisted for a reason, but that seemed off.
Fixed, thanks :wink:

maybe you need to control the whitelist?
