DomainBlockList

Intent

This Blocklist is intended to be used with PiHole or any other Domain Blocker, which is capable of using RegEx statements.

Whitelisting

As this list aims to block most tracking and ad services you may need to specifically whitelist the following domains: Akamai CDN (used by Origin, Adobe etc.) [whitelisted by default]:

  • akamaihd.net
  • akamaized.net
  • akadns.net
  • edgekey.net

YouTube [whitelisted by default]:

  • www.youtube-nocookie.com
  • yt3.ggpht.com

Dominos Checkout [blacklisted by default]:

  • live.adyen.com

Sourceforge Download [blacklisted by default]:

  • quantcast.mgr.consensu.org
  • static.quantcast.mgr.consensu.org
  • vendorlist.consensu.org

Other sites:

  • www.googleadservices.com [blacklisted by default] Google Sponsored Search Results, Google Shopping
  • asadcdn.com [whitelisted by default] BILD.de AdBlock-Blocker*

Explaining the files

blocklist-fin

This file contains every domain, which gets pulled from sources of blocklist-links and filtered with regex-blacklist & regex-whitelist. It gets outputted by make-blocklist.sh.

blocklist-links

This file contains links to lists of to-be-blocked domains. It gets used by make-blocklist.sh.

get-regex-blacklist.sh

You can download this script and put it into /etc/cron.daily (remove the '.sh' when doing so) or simply run it, to get the latest regex-blacklist put into place (/etc/pihole/regex.list) for pi-hole to use.

You may need to run sudo dos2unix get-regex-blacklist.sh and sudo chmod +x get-regex-blacklist.sh for it being able to be executed.

insert-blocklist.sh

This script just references blocklist-fin as a local Blocklist in Pi-Hole (is view- and switchable in 'Settings -> Blocklists').

You may need to run sudo dos2unix insert-blocklist.sh and sudo chmod +x insert-blocklist.sh for it being able to be executed.

make-blocklist.sh

This script pulls to-be-blocked lists of domains from blocklist-links and custom-links (You can suplly your own links to blocklists here, without them being overwritten from cloning this repo).

All blocklists from the supplied sources get merged into one large list, sorted and then get all domains which match the RegEx statements provided in regex-blacklist & regex-whitelist removed.

Any remaining domains get put into blocklist-fin for you to use.

You may need to run sudo dos2unix make-blocklist.sh and sudo chmod +x make-blocklist.sh for it being able to be executed.

regex-blacklist

Any RegEx statements provided in this file are used by make-blocklist.sh to remove all matching lines from blocklist-fin.

This RegEx list can also be used by pi-hole's built-in RegEx Domain Blocker. You can use get-regex-blacklist.sh to do this.

regex-whitelist

Any RegEx statements provided in this file are used by make-blocklist.sh to remove all matching lines from blocklist-fin without being blocked by pi-hole's built-in RegEx Domain Blocker, when using regex-blacklist.

analysis-tools

These tools are supposed to help with finding Domains, that use a large number of Sub-Domains and are thus effective to be blocked by regex-blacklist

indent-sort.sh

Sorts blocklist-fin from the last character, removes any subdomains (xxx.domain.tld) and counts how often the main domain appears. The output gets put into blocklist-2dots.

2dots-whitelist contains country-specific tld that consist of two parts (e.g. co.uk) and some sites, whose subdomains can't all be blocked and would screw with the results. (e.g. blogs)
