ads + tracking is blocking far too much #415

i tried strictly using it and it completely neutered my lan connection, not only is it blocking normal apps but the dns struggles to work with most things like basic browsing, takes far longer to connect to sites

im not really sure why some of these things are blocked, like discord.gg is fully blocked and bricks the program. is there a list that strictly blocks only ads + adware?

thanks

There aren't any domains in that list that would break Discord's functionality, I am using that list with my Pi-hole, and Discord works fine.

You should make sure whatever you're using to block ads isn't somehow messing it up.
