alt Hacker NewsI'm currently (very slowly, in the small gaps between 'life') setting up a site the host the lists and also explains them and their usage.
Since it's not ready, it'll be best if I point you to the sources I've aggregated from:
https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists
https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
https://github.com/jerryn70/GoodbyeAds
Link to my in-progress list file hosting: https://lists.uninvitedactivity.com/DNS/
00_Tiers directory:
I've aggregated the lists into four tiers: Base, Recommended, Aggressive, and Paranoid. And I've got two sets of these, one that includes Newly Registered Domains (Full directory), and one that doesn't include NRDs (NoNRD directory, because NRDs are ... heavy: Paranoid list with NRDs: 9.1 million records, without NRDs: 3.7 million records).
11_Allow directory:
A bunch of allow lists sourced from: https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/commonly-whitelisted-domains.... I also use this list for an Allow list: https://github.com/anudeepND/whitelist
21_SpecificTopics directory:
Aggregation of lists under the topic that matches the file name. Fake News list needs to be updated as it contains a _way_ overbroad list that I need to remove from the aggregation.
