Pihole list missing?

[pallebone]

Hi there,

Thank you for your time and effort.

I was using your lists for quite a while with pihole. The list I used to be able to access was:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arapurayil/ABL/master/lists/general/blocked_domains.txt

This list is now no longer available :( It just had domains only listed at one point. Is that gone forever now?
I had enjoyed using your lists in domain only format (required by pihole) until recently.

Kind regards
Peter

Hello Peter,

Thank you for letting me know that you found my list useful. :)

I decided to drop support for domain-only format as I found it to be less efeccient & flexible vis-à-vis ABP format.
For instance, subdomains of baddomain.com can be easily blocked with ||baddomain.com^ instead of explicitly blocking sub1.baddomain.com , sub2.baddomain.com, etc. Besides ABP style DNS filtering can be extended by modifiers.
As a result the list would be smaller but would block more 'bad' domains than the traditional domain-only list.

I hope you'd consider giving AdGuardHome a try with my new list.

Hi @arapurayil,

Thank you for your reply. That makes sense, unfortunately I am locked into pihole now despite the benefits. I understand dropping support for domain only as you didnt use it yourself.

Thanks for running it in the past. I will look around for some other lists to make up for the loss :)

As you have fully answered my query the case can be closed.

Kind regards
Peter
