Allow co.vaicore.site and int.vaicore.site - Paramount+ Chromecast is broken as result

[andritolion]

The domains co.vaicore.site and int.vaicore.site should be allowed, otherwise media casted from the Paramount+ app to a Chromecast will not load, as the player UI never loads.

Hello! Thank you for opening your first issue in this repo. It’s people like you who make these host files better!

Thank you for this Andrew @andritolion.

I've written this before here, several times.

It doesn't matter if listing a domain interferes with fundraising by the Holy Sisters relict of Mother Theresa of Calcutta. If the domain vehicles tracking, adware, or worse, it gets listed here. This project serves people who value privacy and online safety.

Now that said, those vaicore.site domains come to us from the AdAway list which is mostly dormant. We operate with a cached version of that list now.

I'm gonna remove those domains from our cache. One of the other active curators will pick up this domain if it's still problematic.

Andrew @andritolion this will be active in the next release, coming shortly.

vaicore.site is tracking and belongs to Kochava (Measure Everything with Kochava): https://www.kochava.com/

It is used by Paramount, the blocking did not lead to problems so far, unfortunately I cannot test Chromcast. But someone who has the possibility to test it should verify this.

More Kochava Domains:

co.akisinn.info
co.dewrain.life
co.vaicore.site
co.vaicore.xyz
int.akisinn.info
int.akisinn.me
int.akisinn.site
int.dewrain.life
int.dewrain.site
int.dewrain.world
int.vaicore.site
int.vaicore.store
int.vaicore.xyz
int.vlancaa.site
int.vlancaa.fun
tok.vaicore.xyz
...

co.vaicore.site is also blocked in Cloudflare Secure DNS, for whatever reason.

I refer to blocking domain tracking elsewhere https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/issues/93230 https://github.com/AdAway/adaway.github.io/issues/281 https://github.com/r-a-y/mobile-hosts/issues/16

Thank you everybody.

I am adding the domains co.vaicore.site and int.vaicore.site to my ad-hoc list.
