A repository of DNS blocklists and Ansible configuration used by Mullvad to generate DNS-based blocking files for its encrypted DNS and VPN relay servers. It aggregates reputable tracker and advertising blocklists that are updated several times per week.

Use cases

  • block ads and trackers via DNS on Mullvad VPN
  • get curated DNS blocklists for a Pi-hole or AdGuard setup
  • find which tracker and ad lists Mullvad uses
  • configure custom DNS content blocking with Mullvad's encrypted DNS
  • keep a self-hosted DNS blocker fed with updated blocklists

When to choose

  • you use Mullvad VPN or DNS and want to know or reuse their blocking lists
  • you need maintained, reputable ad and tracker blocklists for a DNS-level blocker
  • you want to replicate Mullvad's DNS blocking setup on your own infrastructure

When to avoid

  • you need an actual DNS server or ad-blocking application rather than list data
  • you want to block arbitrary individual domains, since the project rejects unverified custom entries
  • you need per-URL or application-level blocking rather than DNS-level blocking
