This repository provides a host and domainname based blocklist specifically designed for use with dnsmasq. Most entries are gathered from multiple, actively maintained sources and automatically updated, cleaned, optimized and moderated on a daily basis. The blocklists support both ipv4 and ipv6.

The optimizer makes full use of dnsmasqs capability to block entire domains such as *.doubleclick.net (domains.txt). This reduces the chance of missing any new subdomains and significantly reduces the size of the blocklists. Hostnames that cannot be blocked on a domain level will still be listed in a regular hostname based blocklist (hostnames.txt).

It's important to use both domains.txt and hostnames.txt simultaniously in dnsmasq to get full coverage!

• Should not break useful websites or apps
• Blocks tracking servers
• Blocks advertising servers
• Blocks analytics servers
• Blocks fake websites
• Blocks malware servers
• Blocks webminers

• Download the following two files (or use a daily cronjob to do it automatically)

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists/master/hostnames.txt
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists/master/domains.txt

• Add the following lines to your dnsmasq.conf

conf-file=/path/to/domains.txt
addn-hosts=/path/to/hostnames.txt

• Restart dnsmasq sudo service dnsmasq restart

Because Pi-hole does not fully support loading of dnsmasq domain filters (details here), you should add your own .conf file in /etc/dnsmasq.d/. This way you can still use our blocklists with Pi-hole, but updating has to be done by an external daily cronjob. It's also recommended to remove all default Pi-hole lists, since these are already included in our list in a more efficient manner.

• Add the following lines to /etc/dnsmasq.d/99-pihole-custom-lists.conf (example filename)

conf-file=/path/to/domains.txt
addn-hosts=/path/to/hostnames.txt

• (Optional, but recommended) Remove the default Pi-hole lists in /etc/pihole/adlists.list
• Update Pi-hole pihole -g
