This hostsfile has seen better days and now it has been archived. Still works for me though outdated.

It's eye opening everytime I try lists like this out. It never fails to break something that forces me to recognize how trapped I am I'm in these captured walled garden software ecosystems; especially Google's.

I use Peter Lowe's ad list. It's one of the data sources for uBlock origin.

Hagezi normal is the best one, in my opinion. No false positive ever and more lightweight than the others, also has a good coverage. Adguard domains is nice too.

On filterlists there are a lot of them, ublock, domains, IPs, hosts (ipv4 and ipv6), etc.

I have Adguard DNS, Hagezi Normal and a couple of smaller ones that are likely duplicates/overlaps with the big ones but they update frequently so they might cover something new before the bigger lists get updated.

I run these in Adguard Home, duplcated on two servers for primary/secondary and synced automatically.

I did have to allow a couple of things explicitly to not break things other family members use, but I can do that on a per-client basis so it keeps it minimal.

Btw, anyone had any luck setting them to something different than 0.0.0.0 and running a local logging server there? https:443 gets too complicated with mitm, but they fallback to http:80 anyway, no?

Interesting idea! Although, if a blocklist already has added a domain to their lists, I'm not really interested in logging connections to that specific address.

What I am interested in is what connections my devices establish unprompted, uncalled for when not using any blocklists. That I do with tcpdump on Linux or PCAPdroid on my phone.

Yeah, but if some brittle webäpp breaks because of a failed tracking connection, i'd like to know why it broke. Or that a site tried to connect , for that matter.

Admittedly, my usecase might be a bit special, since i have the blocklist locally insead of a pihole with logging.
