## What it is
A collection of curated DNS blocklists for blocking ads, trackers, malware, phishing, scams, and other unwanted domains. Lists are provided in multiple formats and protection levels for use with Pi-hole, AdGuard, and other DNS-based filtering tools.

## Use cases
- block ads and trackers at the DNS level
- protect my network from malware and phishing domains
- set up pi-hole blocklists
- block telemetry from devices and apps
- stop DNS rebinding attacks
- block gambling or adult content on my network
- prevent DNS-over-HTTPS bypass on my router

## When to choose
- you run Pi-hole, AdGuard, or another DNS-based filter and want well-maintained, regularly updated blocklists
- you want network-wide ad, tracker, and malware blocking without per-device software
- you need tiered protection levels from light to aggressive filtering

## When to avoid
- you need content filtering inside a browser only, where an adblock extension is simpler
- you cannot tolerate any false positives, since aggressive tiers may block legitimate domains
- you need deep packet inspection or full traffic filtering rather than DNS-level blocking

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: security, privacy, caching, monitoring
- domain: security, privacy, networking, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted, cross-platform
- tags: dns-blocklist, adblock, pi-hole, adguard, hosts-file, threat-intelligence, telemetry-blocking, malware-blocking, phishing-protection, linux, docker
