Thank you for sniffing out the ip-ranges, i put out a new release and hopefully it will block all ads from now on.

ih8legal commented 8 years ago

I'm curious how you differentiate between the ad server ips and the regular ones? I have been using cports to analyze the traffic from spotify and occasionally spotify ads will appear ( not regular ads, just ones for Spotify Premium) and the ips all look the same.

MinionAttack commented 8 years ago

Some IP's are missing because I'm still getting adds. Maybe they added new IP ranges. I don't know.

Some new IPs:

194.132.198.0/24 194.132.197.0/24 194.132.196.0/24 194.132.168.0/24 194.132.162.0/24 172.217.19.0/24 172.217.16.0/24 37.157.6.253 104.199.64.0 64.233.167.95

I have noticed ads slipping through my self too. And i am pursuing a new idea, what if instead of blocking all currently known ip ranges and constantly adding new ones, we just block all but a specific range. As long as Spotify doesn't distribute the advertisement through their own servers it should in theory work. But since i live in germany and a person from Japan wouldn't want to receive there music from a german spotify server, i may need to get the ip ranges from a couple of regions of the world so everyone receives their music relatively locally. If anyone has a reason why that approach could pose problems, please let me know.

I want to thank all of you who contribute new ip ranges, and information about the SpotifyKiller program working or not working in your region.

MinionAttack commented 8 years ago

In theory it should work... but we need to know the region IP's to avoid get music from a far server... I'm from Spain but I don't know how sniff the Spotify IP's. I have used Wireshark but I don't know what insert on the filter box to only see the Spotify IP's instead all trafic of my laptop.

MinusTwenty9 commented 8 years ago

Spotify is now distributing ads over their own servers, so there is no point in blocking the external ones. Maybe I will come up with a new program that gets around that, but as I see it, there is no way to exploit the firewall in any way to achieve that. The next version will have to rely on a program running in the background. This program is still available for download, but it doesn't do you much good. Maybe if you have a older version of spotify.

Is there a way to block the update until such time as a solution is found?
