🛑 This repo is no longer maintained.
🥶 The repo is archived, I don't expect to do more work on it.
I've made the final decision to deprecate this repo since it isn't achieving my expected outcomes. No more commits will be made.
My new repo is up at: https://github.com/hl2guide/Filterlist-for-AdGuard
I advise that you consider making the switch (like I have) to using one of AdGuard's free products:
- AdGuard Home: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/wiki/Getting-Started#installation
- Browser Extension: https://adguard.com/en/adguard-browser-extension/overview.html
- AdGuard DNS (in Beta): https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html
A collection of DNS Sinkhole lists for testing purposes.
(not for use in production systems)
Lists are combined, cleaned, duplicates are removed and then are sorted alphabetically (nice and clean).
Each combined list consist of zones and domains in plaintext (not HOSTS text format) with one domain per line.
These combined lists are not for use with the Windows HOSTS file
A PowerShell script generates the lists and then commits to this repository about every 6 hours.
It's too early for production usage therefore unless you're a tester please don't use it until it matures to version 1.0.
There are four options:
- combined (Australia and US users) [my 1st recommendation]
- combined international (all other countries) [my 2nd recommendation]
- combined (Australia and US users) - Social Media Allowed
- combined international (all other countries) - Social Media Allowed
This readme created using https://stackedit.io
The combined list contains:
- a list of blocked TLDs (acts the basis)
- a blacklist that contains blocked sites that are in trusted zones (e.g. .com)
Testers can test in these supported HOSTS/domain managers:
- DNS66 (Android, requires F-Droid app store)
- Technitium DNS Server (Windows or Linux)
- A PiHole device
Testers please use only one of the below raw text links.
Pick one appropriate list from the below four:
| File Name | Description |
|---|---|
| COMBINED_LISTS_GENERATED/ 0_combined_blocklist.txt |
contains 'block_list', 'tld_blocklist' and 'tld_most_abused' and 'typosquatting_blocklist' (users within North America or Australia) |
| COMBINED_LISTS_GENERATED/ 0_combined_blocklist_international.txt |
ditto but for international users (users who are outside of North America and Australia) |
| COMBINED_LISTS_GENERATED/ 0_combined_blocklist (social media allowed).txt |
contains 'block_list', 'tld_blocklist_international' and 'tld_most_abused' and 'typosquatting_blocklist' (users within North America or Australia) - Social Media Allowed [not recommended] |
| COMBINED_LISTS_GENERATED/ 0_combined_blocklist_international (social media allowed).txt |
ditto but for international users (for users outside of North America and Australia) - Social Media Allowed [not recommended] |
For reference only.
| File Name | Description |
|---|---|
| allowed_zones.txt | the whitelist of domains that are allowed |
| block_list.txt | the blacklist for blocking base zones and then bad domains that fit into allowed zones (e.g. ending with .com) |
| tld_blocklist.txt | a list of blocked TLDs |
| tld_blocklist_international.txt | a list of blocked TLDs (international version) |
| tld_most_abused.txt | a list of the most abused TLDs |
| typosquatting_blocklist | a list of often mistyped domains for popular websites |
- Extended testing phase out to at least March 2020
- Added more lists
- Cleaned up repo structure
- Added typosquatting domains for popular games to typosquatting list
- Rewrote the generator script to be modular and optimized
- Added typosquatting domains for frequently mistyped for the world's most popular websites
- Renamed blocklists for clarity and providing a table for options
- Added the world's most popular TLDs into the filter for included lists during generation
