📚 Multi - Cleans the Internet and protects your privacy!

An all-in-one DNS blocklist in various versions (light, normal, pro, pro++ and ultimate). It can be used as a standalone blocklist. For every region. Blocks ads, affiliate, tracking, metrics, telemetry, fake, phishing, malware, scam, coins and other "crap". Based on various native 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.

💡 Recommendation

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

DNS blockers offer 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 Origin 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?

💁 Which version of the lists should I use?

  • Use Light if you have to pay attention to the size of the list because the AdBlocker does not support large lists, or light protection is sufficient for you.
  • 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.

Important

Another important recommendation is to combine the main lists with the Threat Intelligence Feeds list if possible. For Adblockers that have problems with the size of the full TIF list, there is a smaller medium and mini version. If you use AdGuard Home or AdGuard DNS, I also recommend using the Dandelion Sprout's Anti-Malware List. There is also an IPv4 list that can be used in addition to the TIF or TIF medium/mini list.

Tip

Only for NextDNS users: The Threat Intelligence Feeds list is not available in NextDNS, the security features should be used instead. Furthermore, I recommend that NextDNS users also use the OISD list, which also contains some TIF sources that are not covered by the NextDNS security features.

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

📢 About

"If the plan doesn‘t work, change the plan but never the goal."
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 10000 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. See also: Which sources are used for the lists and how are the lists compiled on the basis of these sources?

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.

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

🌀 Referral Domains

Affiliate and tracking links (referral domains) that appear frequently on offer web pages like Slickdeals, in emails or in search results are allowed in my lists. These are mostly called only after manually 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. Furthermore, some of these domains are also used to unsubscribe from newsletters.
