Lists still up to date?

[DSS87]

Hello,

are the firewall blocklists (extra.txt, spy.txt, update.txt) still up to date? I ask because they have not been updated for a long time.

Hi,

Sorry it's been a while, I'm pretty busy. Current rules are mostly ok. Need to find time to add some new rules and also needs another alternative of https://www.threatcrowd.org (looks down) I was using to retrieve domain history for an IP so I can check for false positives.

Nope. The list does not work anymore. My new pihole ignores 3515 entries

Taking advantage of this post, these are new connections I found using Windows 10 and 11:

I believe this would have been caused by mistakenly using .../blob/master/data/hosts/update.txt instead of .../raw/master/data/hosts/update.txt in the github URL.

I think firewall/update.txt may need some new entries added. I've had a few Windows updates sneak their way into three of my Windows 10 installations over the past few weeks.
