'once that opens you are in a text editor like interface and any of the http links that you remove the # in front of will be picked up by the gravity script that pulls all the domains in and makes pihole work
once you are happy with your edits press CTRL+X then y then ENTER
this saves the list
then once all of that is done use the command pihole -g
are those domains are blocked as wildcards, as suggested in Adblock Plus filters explained. For me its not 100% clear if wildcard blacklisting/whitelisting of the adblock scheme is respected in the pihole scripts? If not, may I ask, why?
Because we can't know in advance if the list of domains are supposed to be wildcard or they are direct domains. The function is a general function to strip out the regex and that's about it. We don't have the logic to determine the source of the list or if the user just pasted the list in to a txt file so it's hard to find out what the source is and then determine if the domains should be wildcarded or added plain.
I thought that got reverted in a later commit. Since that is still in the code, then yes I concur that the domains should be wildcard as per the adblock link.
From the Web admin GUI > settings > blocklists. Enter one (or more in the same block if separated by line breaks) URL for a public blocklist in the box near the bottom, then after you have entered the last one, click on "save and update" and gravity will be rebuilt to include your new lists.
Fantastic thread!!!
Can somebody tell me the best way to ID ad servers that slip by?
I get adding new lists to the adlist.lists; but scalpel vs sledge hammer...
or is finding the slippery servers, then including that list a better idea?
Thanks!
Where is that GUI screen in the interface mentioned in the update? "As of v 3.0 .. Pi-Hole's Block Lists"??? Seeing a screenshot doesn't tell you where to navigate to find the checklist!!
