Incorporate more regional filter lists

[theseanl]

People outside of English-speaking country have to use language-specific filters in addition to English filter to experience better Ad blocking. For example, 176.103.130.135: default + Russian filter, 176.103.130.136: default + German filter....

[ameshkov]

I rly suppose we should simply add regional ad servers to the specific domain filter as well.

But to do it we should first identify sources for these ad servers properly.

@Alex-302 which file is for ad servers in Russian filter?

[Alex-302]

@ameshkov adservers.txt and adservers_firstparty.txt(it is not big)

[Snapy]

Maybe you could have categories like OpenDNS has but for regions (although it is account based).

[ameshkov]

@Snapy this implies providing accounts functionality on our side just like OpenDNS does.

This is possible in future, but for now we need an easier solution.

@seanl-adg what file can we use as source of ad servers in List-KR? @Alex-302 what about EasyList Germany? Do they have an "adservers" file?

[Alex-302]

@ameshkov

@Alex-302 what about EasyList Germany? Do they have an "adservers" file?

Yes. easylistgermany_adservers.txt easylistgermany_adservers_popup.txt https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylistgermany/file/tip/easylistgermany

[theseanl]

@ameshkov filter.txt for List-KR. However it contains some "overly-specific" rules, like ||adddn.adotsolution.com/contents/, which was created to avoid false-positives but in fact would suffice to have ||adddn.adotsolution.com^.

Here is the adserver list for Vietnamese which I'm maintaining: https://github.com/snhv/Vietnamese-hosts

[ameshkov]

@snhv AG DNS supports ad blocking rules syntax. The list would be much shorter if you convert it:

Not sure about onthe.io, though. As I recall, blocking it may cause issues with some websites.

What for others, we can add this modified list right away.

Thank you @ameshkov

Under your cue, I have modified and also updated the filter accordingly.

Please note that I changed the ads filter's name and URL. Now it is at: https://github.com/snhv/vietnamese-domain-filters/blob/master/ads

And I also added the adults filter, to be used with Family Protection DNS, here: https://github.com/snhv/vietnamese-domain-filters/blob/master/adults

By the way, can you automatically fetch my filters for update?

[ameshkov]

@snhv nice, thank you!

However, we don't have a separate filter for Family Protection DNS just yet, for now we'll add ads only.

@Alex-302 could you please do it?

[Alex-302]

@ameshkov these two files? Only to DNS filter?

[ameshkov]

@Alex-302

1. ads only
2. yes

[Alex-302]

Ok. https://github.com/snhv/vietnamese-domain-filters/blob/master/ads added to DNS filter, except

||game.24h.com.vn^&third-party
||collagenbeauty.vn^&third-party

[snhv]

Hi @Alex-302 , I've just added 4 more domains for Vietnamese filter: ||imgraovat.vnecdn.net^ ||straovat.vnecdn.net^ ||imgraovat.vnexpress.net^ ||addlog.thuvienphapluat.vn^

Thanks.

[Alex-302]

I can't just add these domains to DNS filter, I need examples.

[snhv]

Hi @Alex-302 , for the first 3 domains, please visit vnexpress.net or vitalk.vn ; for the last one, please thuvienphapluat.vn Thanks

[vozersky]

obsolete

[snhv]

Hi,

Could you please consider adding these lists:

• ABPVN hosts list (https://abpvn.com/android/abpvn.txt) - homepage: https://abpvn.com/android/
• HostsVN hosts list (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bigdargon/hostsVN/master/hosts) - homepage: https://github.com/bigdargon/hostsVN

Thank you.
