🆕 Software Suggestion | eBlocker #2049

Closed ph00lt0 closed 4 years ago

ph00lt0 commented 4 years ago

Basic Information

Name: eBlockerOS Category: URL: https://eblocker.org

Description

Software similar to Pihole but a little bit more advanced. They automatically replace all user agents and reroute the traffic over a VPN or tor.

Why I am making the suggestion

I think a big advantage could be that they could be more accessible to the masses where Pihole might be too complicated for tech-savvy people.

I have not tried out the software yet, but I think it's worth to have a look at this together with the community as the idea is very promising.

My connection with the software

No connections

Ps the website is down, so I could not find the right category.

This is likely to cause a very unique fingerprint. Spoofing user agents is pointless because it can often be circumvented anyway through various JS APIs. There is a good reason that the arkenfox project doesn't recommend it: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions#small_orange_diamond-%EF%B8%8F-anti-fingerprinting-extensions-fk-no
