For Pi-Hole users.

If you are a Pi-Hole program user, read on and I tell you what this tool can do for you.

For me to you

I am a developer and an enthusiastic user of the Pi-Hole program. I initially developed this tool for me because I found it very useful to import my own hosts list. I brought this up to my friends who also use the Pi-Hole program and they really wanted a tool like this. So, why not share this tool?

Why I made this tool?

There are many adlists or blocklists that are maintained by others and they are also based on different categories. Categories such as spam, fishing, sex, viruses, advertisements and much more. Lists are added and some disappear. This tool collects as many lists as possible into one database. All domain names that appear on their lists will be checked. Duplicates, wrong formatted domains, non-existing exentions, non-active domains and more will be filtered out. The database is as clean as possible for use in the ‘Gravity Update’.

But, there is more!

You can add blocklists, domains, upload files with domains names and you can whitelist your own new added domains.
