nogoogle

A simple way of removing Google from your life.

nogoogle uses dnsmasq to black-hole all known Google domains.

Notes

Don't use this yet.

OSX

Install dnsmasq:

brew install dnsmasq

Configure nogoogle:

cp dnsmasq.conf /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf

Start at boot:

sudo cp -fv /usr/local/opt/dnsmasq/*.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons

Start now:

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist

Ubuntu

Install dnsmasq:

sudo apt-get install dnsmasq

Configure nogoogle:

sudo cp dnsmasq.conf /etc/dnsmasq.conf

Android

dnsmasq does work for Android, but I haven't investigated how to get nogoogle running yet. This might work, but I haven't tested it:

 sudo cp dnsmasq.conf /data/dnsmasq.conf
 dnsmasq -C /data/dnsmasq.conf

Windows

dnsmasq doesn't work on Windows. I don't know. Maybe this as an alternative? http://mayakron.altervista.org/wikibase/show.php?id=AcrylicHome

Others

Install dnsmaqs with your package manager of choice, or from source, then add nogoogle's configuration into your dnsmasq.conf. If you're using some crazy operating system, you probably already know how to do this.
