New Idea: Custom Blocklists

Allow users to import custom blocklists from a git repo in the standard format. This would alleviate a lot o the gripes people have, allow them to subscribe to more expansive lists (or create their on), and generally be a win-win for both NextDNS and its users.

    Dev NextDNS has announced it will no longer support custom blocklists https://help.nextdns.io/t/q6hmva4/custom-blocklist-support

       I hadn’t seen that. This sucks. They really need to enable this feature again so that people don’t have to run both a PiHole/AdGuard Home server and NextDNS. It’s absurd that I can’t block what I want. I’m sure most users would rather be able to block what they want and deal with the pain of overblocking versus just having the feature not exist.

         It was never an option.   It has been this way since the beginning

      That reply would make some sense if the included lists were higher quality and didnt have lists abandoned 5 years ago.

    Then they should verify more lists to choose form. I need a larger game list to block for my homeschool kids. some thing like this from github. it was created for schools.

       that list uses URLs.   DNS can only block FQDNs.   You’ll need to find a browser based blocker to use that list.  Or send your kids to a public school
