Sites added to blocklist that prevent 4G/5G mobile IMS services on Vodafone.

False Blocks

The following items that have been added to the block list https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts are preventing some of Vodafone's IMS services from functioning, for example RCS Chat (new version of SMS). This is shown by opening Google messages and withing Settings -> Chat the status when on network running a blocklist with these will continually say "Connecting...".

Generally, *.ims.vodafone.com URI's are used for connecting to IMS services within the Vodafone network.

# [vodafone.com]
0.0.0.0 mplusps.ims.vodafone.com
0.0.0.0 mpluswf.ims.vodafone.com

Please could these be removed from blocklist.
(I assume that 'mplusps = messaging plus packet switched' and 'mpluswf = messaging plus WiFi')

Thanks

Thank you for this @Tricky-M.

Ping @jawz101 what do you think? Thanks!

I've stepped down from AdAway list maintenance just recently. If someone is interested in maintaining the list they may want to take a look here.

AdAway/adaway.github.io#357

Thank you, Steven for being a great collaborator!

@jawz101 I'm sorry to hear that.

Who should I ping for this?

Oops I edited my reply above

Didn't realise the association with the AdAway list, I also raised AdAway #3403, which may be the incorrect location.
