mainly the ublock own list and easy and fanboy lists. I tried just copying the list domain and pihole doesn’t register the lists.

Don’t forget to range block Australia and New Zealand

Why? Are they due to get Internet this year?

Why? Why not Russia and China?

If you range block China, none of your IOT devices will work.
Nothin wrong with blocking Russia, Iran, NK, etc.
Australia and New Zealand are the home base for 5 eyes and the DMCA trolls.

wait, are you intimating this is a bad thing?
by no means
but if you have Ubiquiti gear, you’ll have a bad time
You lose TikTok, Huawei, Tencent, alibaba, etc.
Most Amazon cameras, a surprising number of smartTV’s, and fitness trackers will also stop working.
At secure facilities we regularly range ban most nations, only open WAN to those that need it and even block most small ISP’s.
Block all WAN facing ports except encrypted tunnels and drop requests instead of deny.
Shrink your attack surface and you’ll have alot more fun on the internet.

fair play on the heads up, in case anyone suddenly finds their telly no working any more, and can’t get n their house…
(still sounds like an added bonus to me…)

Question, do you have issues with windows and the windows spyware? It seems lately when trying to install a program windows smart screen doesnt work but actually freezes my computer entirely for 4 to 5 minutes before saying smartscreen cant be reached. Then I can continue to install.

I agree with @Trooper_ish that your TV is not working, and your inability to get into my home sounds good.

sure. issues. yup
I use windows for some functions
one install is windows Home, and the other Pro.
I understand that neither system is secure, nor private.
I can live with that knowledge.
It freaks me out enough to turn penguin, but I can accept they have an active decision, and they will not change.
for day-to-day browsing, interactions, social media, and stuff, I use linux.
windows is just for Steam, and for a couple streaming sites.
MS still get my data, but a reduced amount.
This is just because I am a very particular type of mentally retarded.
I still ise pihole for visible blocking.
much stuff gets past the blocker, as it only controls DNS lookups. anything hardcoded, would avoid it.
I limit incoming traffic connections to my network, but haven;t looked at controlling // stopping outbound traffic, which one would really need to do if one wanted to try and secure Windows
I don’t have smart TV, or any IOT stuff, apart from my untrusted phone…
I don’t use this.
I did use windows built in AV, but disabled the smart reporting-everything-I-install-back-to-MS
they get the info regardless, but not via that tool.
I switched firewall to Comodo.
it also has a separate free “kill switch” app, which appears to be a re-skinnned sysinternals Process Explorer/Manager/whatever it was…

That’s a lot of lists… I have just a few and then my DNS blocking file is 166K lines long and my poor little firewall almost falls over trying to load the block list.
I have a script that tries to condense it… basically any TLD with a bunch of sub-domains gets rolled up into the TLD or some thing like that. It seems to work, but it’s been a while since I tested it.

I pretty much have all of these lists.
