Description

Eliminate ads and malware on a network-wide scale by blocking them at the DNS level! By self-hosting a DNS server, you can enhance both your privacy and security. The Technitium DNS Server is an open-source solution that serves as both an authoritative and recursive DNS server, making it an excellent choice for those looking to self-host their DNS services. It is designed to function seamlessly with little to no configuration required and includes a straightforward web console that can be accessed through any modern web browser. Many people overlook the intricacies of domain name resolution, as it operates automatically and is often too complex to comprehend. Typically, computer applications rely on the operating system's DNS resolver, which queries the DNS server provided by the ISP using the UDP protocol. While this method may suffice for the average user, it enables ISPs to monitor and control your browsing activities, even when accessing sites secured by HTTPS. Furthermore, some ISPs have the capability to redirect, block, or inject unwanted content into the websites you visit, regardless of whether you're using alternative DNS services like Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS. By utilizing a self-hosted DNS server, you regain control over your online experience and can ensure a more private browsing environment.

Description

hBlock is a shell script that complies with POSIX standards, designed to compile a list of domains associated with advertisements, tracking scripts, and malicious software from various sources to create a hosts file, as well as other formats, effectively blocking access to these domains. You can visit our website to download the latest version of the standard blocklist, and you also have the option to create your own blocklist by following the guidelines provided on the project page. By utilizing hBlock, you can enhance your security and privacy by preventing connections to domains that serve ads, tracking, and malware. The tool is accessible through different package managers for easy installation. Furthermore, users have the ability to set a system timer that automatically updates the hosts file with new entries on a regular basis. The default settings of hBlock can be modified using a range of customizable options tailored to your preferences. For those interested, nightly builds of the hosts file and other formats are available on the hBlock website for download. If you find it necessary to disable hBlock temporarily, you can easily generate a hosts file that omits all blocked domains as a quick workaround. This flexibility allows users to maintain control over their browsing experience while still benefiting from enhanced protection.
