A list of adserving and tracking sites maintained by me. This list will be updated frequently.
You can request additional domains or report exsisting domains via Issues tab.
| Host File | Domain Count | Description | Update Frequency | Raw Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| adservers.txt | 42,596 | A reliable host file containing advertising domains, trackers, malwares and other unsafe domains. I collect these domains from my Pi-Hole and I test them for a few days before adding to the list. You can request additional domains or report existing domains via issues tab. | Frequently | link |
| facebook.txt | 4,000 | Host file containing domains related to facebook.com. This file doesn't block other Facebook products such as WhatsApp, Instagram etc. If you want to block all Facebook related services, use this list created by lightswitch05. | Occasionally | link |
| coinminer.txt | 5,940 | This host file was created when JavaScript miners were added to torrent sites. Most of the domain in this file are still active today. I recommend you to use CoinBlockerLists by ZeroDot1 along with this list. | Discontinued | link |
A hosts file, named hosts, is a plain-text file used by all operating systems to map hostnames to IP addresses. Host file preferred over DNS so if a domain name is resolved by the hosts file, the request never leaves your computer.
Mac OS X, Android, Linux: /etc/hosts
Winodws 7, 8.0, 8.1, 10: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows 2000: C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows: Windows users can use this host file with Hostman, a software to manage host file.
Android: For non-rooted devices, this host can be used with DNS66, a free and open-source ad-blocker.
For rooted device, this host file can be used with AdAway, a free and open-source ad-blocker for Android.
Linux: An open-source host file manager called hBlock.
Mac OS: This host file can be used with gasmask.
If you are using Pi-Hole, you can add this to your blocklist.
