Non-mirrored version

[jacklul]

I wonder if there would be any chance you could add an optional parameter to lists.php that replaces v.firebog.net mirrored lists with their original URLs? Pi-hole parses adblock formatted lists, someone might want to pull directly from upstream list or update way more often than your update scripts do.

Just a suggestion!

Suggestions are always welcome! 🙂

I won't be able to do that without reworking the front page of firebog.net as lists.php scrapes a copy of the HTML and parses the useful output into plaintext. As the front page stands, the "maintainer sources" links back to the maintainer's site or repo to allow users to direct change requests upstream.

If I did make this change, I'd still need to filter out certain URLs such as the Fabrice Prigent lists, which are only provided as a compressed archive - but it would still benefit those eager to get the freshest copy of an adblock-style list, or the "RPiLists".

Approaching this from another angle, it's worth noting that my mirrored lists update four times a week (except for Prigent-Adult.txt which updates twice a week). So if you're finding that lists are updated upstream and haven't propogated to the mirrored copy, then I can definitely look into tuning how aggressively Cloudflare is caching content which should be for only 24 hours.

There's also this Pi-hole (or rather, curl) issue that's worth keeping note if that at all might be relevant to you!

I've also found another issue where Pi-hole is taking domains from filters blocking only specific elements. So yeah, my request is probably bad idea as you seem to filter out those!

Do you have a reproducable example of this? That shouldn't be happening. If so, please raise an issue here: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/issues
