An all in one DNS blocklist in various versions (light, normal, pro, pro++ and ultimate). It can be used as a stand alone blocklist. For every region. Blocks ads, affiliate, tracking, metrics, telemetry, fake, phishing, malware, scam, coins and other "crap". Based on various blocklists. No, they are not just block lists cobbled together from different sources. They have been optimized and extended to efficiently "clean the Internet" in all areas.

As a network-wide DNS blocker, I recommend using Adguard Home, PiHole, TechnitiumDNS, Blocky (advanced users), adblock-lean (OpenWrt) or eBlocker.

DNS blocker offer a good protection of privacy by blocking tracking, metrics and telemetry. They can be used to block the vast majority of ads, malware, scam, fake and co, but not everything can be blocked at the DNS level!
Therefore, I additionally recommend the use of a browser content blocker such as AdGuard, uBlock or Ghostery.

Check out yokoffing's Recommended Filters for uBlock Origin for content blocker filter lists. For a browser recommendation see also yokoffing's I need a browser with ad blocking. Which one should I choose?

• Use Light if you have to pay attention to the size of the list, because the AdBlocker does not support large lists.
• Use Normal if there is no admin nearby who can unblock something from time to time. E.g. for grandma and grandpa or the whole home or family network.
• Use Pro if an admin is available who could unblock something if necessary. My personal recommendation for almost problem-free adblocking.
• Use Pro++ if you are an experienced user, know what you are doing and privacy is important to you. This is an aggressive list and you may need to unblock things more often.
• Use Ultimate if Pro++ is not enough for you.
• Use Ultimate with 1Hosts Pro* if Ultimate alone is not enough. You will have to unblock a lot yourself.
• Is Ultimate + 1Hosts Pro* still not enough for you? You are crazy, well then combine Ultimate with 1Hosts Xtra*. But you should schedule enough time for unblocking, or better hire a full-time admin.

* NOTE: The 1Hosts lists are currently only maintained irregularly, see also: Competing Demands Causing Maintenance Slowdown

Another recommendation is to combine the main lists with the Threat Intelligence Feeds list if possible.

Further additional options to the main lists depending on the use case are:

• Security: In addition to the Threat Intelligence Feeds list, use the Dynamic DNS, Badware Hoster and Most Abused TLDs list to further protect yourself from malicious things.
• Protection of children: Use the Gambling, Anti Piracy, Safesearch, DoH/VPN/TOR/Proxy Bypass and oisd NSFW lists in addition to block gambling, piracy, no safesearch engines, DNS bypassing, porn, shock and adult sites.

If you don't run your own DNS server on your home network or if you are looking for additional protection for your mobile devices when they are not connected to the home network, then I recommend one of the following DNS services:

In AdGuardDNS you can use my Multi Normal, Pro, Pro++, Ultimate, TIF, Gambling, Anti Piracy and Allowlist Referral.

In ControlD you can use my blocklists:

In NextDNS you can use my Light, Normal, Pro, Pro++ and Ultimate list.

Check out Yokoffing NextDNS Config Guide and Techlore Video The ULTIMATE Guide to Mastering NextDNS! for recommended NextDNS configuration settings.

In RethinkDNS you can use my Light, Normal, Pro, Pro++, Ultimate and TIF list.

In DNSwarden you can use my Light, Normal, Pro, Pro++, Ultimate and TIF list.

DNSforge use my Multi Light blocklist in addition to other blocklists.

OpenBLD.net use my Multi Pro blocklist in addition to other blocklists.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1!

The blocklists are based on various sources and my own denylists/extensions. They were designed to avoid false positive domains as much as possible without losing effectiveness and efficiency. Dead hosts are regularly removed from the lists to keep them as small as possible. Made with 💓 for a safer and cleaner internet.
All lists were tested against 6000 websites from the Cisco Umbrella Top 1 million list. It was checked whether the pages load, the page content is displayed correctly, navigation links work, images load, videos start and much more.
They are updated and maintained daily.

No, they are not just block lists cobbled together from different sources. They have been optimized and extended to efficiently "clean the Internet" in all areas.

The results of a test against the 10000 whotracks.me pages. All pages were opened and fully loaded via batch in Edge with privacy features turned off. Cookies were all accepted. NextDNS was used as the DNS.

Test them, give feedback and report false positive domains.

The repository is occasionally compressed (reinitialised) to reduce the overall size. Among other things, this invalidates forks and cleans up the commit history.

Affiliate and tracking links (referral domains) that appear frequently on offer web pages, in emails or in search results are allowed in my lists. These are mostly called only after manual clicking on a link and are not used to display advertising. If these are blocked, the first hit links from search results, for example, no longer work.

Referral domains have been removed from all lists.

Allowing referral domains in my lists is equivalent to the NextDNS feature "Privacy > Allow Affiliate & Tracking Links".

Give feedback, show me your ideas, report domains to be blocked, report false positive domains and help to keep the internet safe and clean.
Help and cooperation of any kind is welcome!
