NoTracking is an automatically updated DNS-based blocklist for blocking ads, trackers, malware, phishing, and webminers. It ships optimized wildcard-filtered lists in formats for dnsmasq, dnscrypt-proxy, Unbound, and AdblockPlus-compatible tools like Pi-hole and AdGuard Home.

Use cases

  • block ads at the DNS level on my router
  • filter trackers with dnsmasq
  • block malware and phishing domains with unbound
  • add an adblock list to Pi-hole or AdGuard Home
  • stop webminers and scam sites via dnscrypt-proxy
  • reduce tracking network-wide without browser extensions

When to choose

  • you need prebuilt DNS blocklists for dnsmasq, Unbound, dnscrypt-proxy, or Pi-hole
  • you want wildcard-optimized lists that catch new subdomains
  • you prefer network-wide ad and tracker blocking over per-browser extensions

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained list - the project announced it is shutting down
  • you need content filtering beyond ads, trackers, and malware
  • you require a licensed or formally supported dataset
