Share me your content of dnsmasq.conf that Maza generates.

Facing the same issue with StevenBlack's host list

Here's the dnsmasq.conf which Maza generated: https://pastebin.com/Wu9T2DW0

@codingCoffee @shivshankar3578 I see the problem. StevenBlack's host list format is not supported. The format is currently not supported. I will leave a warning note in the README. Perhaps a compatibility and status table would be needed. Thanks for the heads up.

I have investigated further and it works with any other configuration that does not have the addresses in red.

I suggest using any other Steve's list that does not have these headers.

👋🏻 Hello everybody and Andros @tanrax here's a suggestion:

The lines highlighted in the image above ⬆️ are common, in whole or in part, to all hosts files. Rules to handle this would be a small finite set. Just 14 lines covers all OEM hosts files shipped with Windows OS (current and historical) as well as all hosts versions shipped with the various Linux OS.

Since the set if finite and bounded, I'm suggesting you could filter those lines as part of any pre-processing and validation you may be doing already.

@StevenBlack have uploaded an update. The domains in the highlighted list will now be ignored by default. I have also added improvements to make "Steven Black's main list" or any other similar list work better. To make it work:

• Delete the ".config/maza/ignore" file.
• Update maza: "curl -o maza https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking/master/maza && sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/maza && chmod +x maza && sudo mv maza /usr/local/bin".
• Restart Maza: "maza stop && maza start".

Happy hacking!

Is is just me, or now the Steven Black's list is enabled by default?

@sbstn87 Use Yoyo by default. If you want to use Steven Black's list, see the README for instructions on how to make this possible. You only have to modify one line 😉
