## What it is
A curated collection of categorized domain blocklists intended for use with hosts files, Pi-hole, Dnsmasq, or Privoxy. The lists focus on blocking corporate tracking and telemetry domains.

## Use cases
- block corporate telemetry domains via hosts file
- add blocklists to pi-hole for network-wide filtering
- block tracking domains with dnsmasq
- find curated lists of domains to block
- reduce ads and tracking on my network

## When to choose
- you want a categorized, CC0-licensed domain blocklist for hosts files or Pi-hole
- your goal is blocking corporate tracking and telemetry domains

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained malware or ad lists with frequent updates
- you need per-application or browser-level blocking rather than DNS-level

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