hosts subdomain whitelisting #848

Closed tyngdekraften closed 6 years ago

tyngdekraften commented 6 years ago

hphosts flags proxad.net as ad tracking server the ftp.proxad.net subdomain is not an ad tracking server hphosts do not whitelist this subdomain umatrix allows me to whitelist this subdomain umatrix do not come with a whitelist like ublock filters do is this considered an hphosts issue for not whitelisting the subdomain? is this considered an umatrix issue for not whitelisting at all? is this considered wontfix as the hosts file is not supposed to consider subdomains?

uMatrix is not responsible for error in the shared rules files AFAIK. You should report to hphosts instead I think.

By design, a block rule for a domain propagates to subdomains -- as opposed to when the hosts file is used in a OS. Hosts files do not support whitelisting.

I don't plan to support pre-whitelisted hostnames in uBO, this is for users to decide.
