This script takes a list of URLs pointing to adblocker filters, hostsfiles, and domain lists.
It then converts them into hostsfiles, and merges them together.
The final result is located at ./hosts.
It's useful for doing batch operations.
You could run this script daily, for example, to ensure that your hosts file is always up-to-date.
A hostsblock (https://github.com/wwalexander/hostsblock)
binary must be located in the same directory as gen-hosts, if you want to use
adblocker filters.
gen-hosts file.listgen-hosts requires a textfile containing the URLs to blocklists.
This textfile should have one entry per line.
- Blank lines are ignored.
- Comments are prefixed by '#'.
- Hostsfiles are prefixed by '@'.
- Domain lists are prefixed by '&'.
- All other lines are assumed to be adblock filters.
