The above I've run unchanged for at least 3 years.

Today I also added: (mostly because It's been a while since I made any changes) https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/domains/pro.txt

From: https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists

Bringing me up to 1,699,816 domains.

As that list is new to me I can't say how good or bad it is yet, but it did block revanced.net and revanced.io annoyingly. (manually whitelisted now) We'll see how it does and adapt on the fly :)

Edit: replaced screenshots with raw links.

I use these for guidance https://github.com/jacklul/pihole-updatelists https://firebog.net/

I’ve gone down this road. Be careful. If it’s critical to your household that the internet works, your best bet is the standard list included.

With a dozen or more additional lists, I ended up spending a lot of time with the pihole totally disabled when something was getting blocked that shouldn’t be, and then more time tinkering trying to figure out what to whitelist.

We have been using just the one that it comes with for many years and it's been entirely sufficient.

Any recommendations for blocking YouTube ads?
