try to report this to the list maintainers where the domains were found

I'm not sure I understand your comment. They are called Anudeep's Lists so I thought that Anudeep was the maintainer of the list and that here wass the place to report those issues... Am I getting something wrong?

fabianski7 commented 3 years ago

if you think the domains are legitimate, then you should report to the maintainer of the list they are on. That way more people will benefit from this improvement.

I use all the lists that are in your log and none of them are blocking these domains. I don't know why it would be necessary to add.

If you don't agree, do whatever shit you think is best.

iteqla commented 3 years ago

First, there is no need for that language. Second, what I think is best is exactly what I am doing, which is reporting legitimate website so that they can be added to the whitelist. The whole point of a whitelist is to prevent false positives, as opposed to go on every single blocklist. The reason is because the exact matches can be adjusted directly from the blocklist, as you suggest, but the expressions are not.

Besides, this si from the Pi-Hole official dicumentation: The more blocklists you add, the more likely you'll come across a false positive. First, you'll want to check out Commonly Whitelisted Domains over at the Pi-hole forum, followed up by anudeepND's curated whitelist, and then you can see if anything below is relevant to your interests.

So is this whitelist still curated or not?

iteqla commented 3 years ago

Legit websites have been removed from the list. Thanks.
