Other Blocking Lists...
pgl.yoyo.org/as | direct link
Choose "plain non-HTML list -- as a plain list of hostnames (no HTML)" from the dropdown
this format can be directly copied/pasted into a .txt file for use in DNS Redirector
several entries will be redundant/already included in our keyword lists above.
HOSTS files
Most host file content will already be in our keywords or the 3rd party list above,
using converted HOSTS files with DNS Redirector can be redundant and in-efficient since
each site must be individually specified as the fully-qualified-domain-name rather than
just a partial domain-name or keyword.
To make a HOSTS file compatible with DNS Redirector edit as follows:
no lines can have 127.0.0.1 or another IP, only domain-names
no lines can have "localhost" anywhere in them, remove the entire line
no lines can have "#" anywhere in them, remove the entire line
IMPORTANT: When merging lists remember that one keyword must appear on each line,
the file cannot contain any spaces, nor any blank lines (except for the last line).
