What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A continuously updated blocklist of Adobe telemetry-checking domains distributed in multiple hosts-file formats. It is consumed via hosts file managers like HostsMan and SwitchHosts or DNS blockers like Pi-hole.

Use cases

  • block adobe telemetry domains
  • stop photoshop from phoning home
  • add adobe blocklist to pihole
  • block adobe activation checks in hosts file
  • prevent illustrator license checking servers
  • auto-updating adobe blocklist for switchhosts

When to choose

  • you use Adobe apps and want to block telemetry without breaking other features
  • you already run Pi-hole, HostsMan, SwitchHosts, or manage a hosts file
  • you want a frequently updated, format-flexible blocklist

When to avoid

  • you need to block telemetry from vendors other than Adobe
  • you rely on Adobe cloud services that the blocklist may interfere with
  • you need a general-purpose ad or tracker blocker
