## What it is
A curated hosts-file blocklist of Adobe URLs and IPs, with apply/revert scripts for Windows, macOS, and Linux plus dnsmasq and Pi-hole formats. It blocks Adobe telemetry and activation endpoints at the DNS level.

## Use cases
- block adobe telemetry on my pc
- stop adobe from phoning home
- add adobe domains to my hosts file
- block adobe activation servers with pi-hole
- revert adobe host file changes safely
- router-level adobe domain blocking with dnsmasq

## When to choose
- you want to block Adobe telemetry, update, or activation endpoints via DNS
- you need ready-made apply/revert scripts with automatic backups and idempotent updates
- you run Pi-hole or dnsmasq and want a maintained Adobe blocklist

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose ad blocker rather than an Adobe-specific list
- you require a licensed, formally maintained project (the repo has no license)
- you need application-level firewall rules instead of hosts/DNS blocking

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: security, privacy, networking, cli
- domain: privacy, security, networking, self-hosted
- platform: windows, cli, self-hosted
- tags: hosts-file, blocklist, adobe, dns-blocking, pi-hole, dnsmasq, macos, linux
