false positive with hostsfile.org

[rmoriz]

http://www.hostsfile.org/Downloads/hosts.txt

contains

127.0.0.1	www.crunchbase.com

which is an obvious false-positive.

I've added it to my local whitelist using:

configure
set service dns forwarding blacklist exclude www.crunchbase.com
commit;save;exit

This isn't an issue with the update-dnsmasq blacklisting parser/configuration builder. The source http://www.hostsfile.org/Downloads/hosts.txt is where the false positive is coming from. You will need to notify them or as you have already, whitelist the false positive.

True, however in the name of "sane defaults", I just wanted to point out, that hostsfile.org is probably not a sane default list.

If someone else runs into this:

I ended up with removing the hostsfile list:

configure
delete service dns forwarding blacklist hosts source hostsfile.org
commit;save;exit

I used grep to detect the origin of a block , e.g.:

grep -r "de.aliexpress.com"  /etc/dnsmasq.d
/etc/dnsmasq.d/hosts.hostsfile.org.blacklist.conf:address=/de.aliexpress.com/0.0.0.0
