WindowsSpyBlocker is a Go application delivered as a single Windows executable that blocks spying and tracking on Windows systems. It captures and interprets network traffic to generate hosts and firewall rules that block Microsoft telemetry endpoints.

Use cases

  • block windows telemetry and tracking
  • stop windows 10 from sending data to microsoft
  • generate hosts file rules to block spy domains
  • create firewall rules blocking microsoft telemetry ips
  • disable ncsi connectivity checks
  • harden windows privacy on enterprise machines

When to choose

  • you want a maintained, single-executable tool to block Windows telemetry
  • you need curated hosts/IP/firewall rule lists consumable by pi-hole, OpenWrt, OPNsense, or DNSCrypt
  • you want traffic-analysis-derived blocking rules rather than manually curated lists

When to avoid

  • you need to block telemetry on macOS or Linux hosts
  • you require a GUI-based privacy tweaker for Windows settings
  • blocking Windows Update or NCSI endpoints would break your update or connectivity workflows
