The eBlocker allows you to upload four different list formats:
Easylist URL Pattern Format #
Blocking lists in easylist format have the advantage to recognize pattern of trackers, ads and unwanted content in domains and URLs. This helps agains over-blocking, which takes place a lot with classic domain blocking (like DNS blocking for instance).
Example: good-domain.com/badtracker.php can be recognized by a pattern and will be blocked, whereas other URLs of the same domain like good-domain.com/somecontent.php will be accessible. In comparison to traditional domain blocking (see below) only the full domain good-domain.com can be blocked, resulting in over-blocking.
The easylist format is used by browser extensions such as AdBlock and others. It’s also the recommended format for eBlocker. There are many blocking lists available in easylist format.
Please find the exact easylist format definition here. Please note that easylist is supported only on devices where eBlocker’s pattern blocker is enabled.
Example:
/adzone_
/theadzone/*
###adsontheright
-advertise.$domain=~i-domain.net|~bad-domain.gr
||domain.net^$third-part
@@/ad_file/*$image,domain=domain.de|domains.de
baddomain.com###IMU_468x60
Domain List Format #
Domain lists are lists which contain standard domain names.
Example:
domain.com
domain.ru
bad.domain2.org
verybad.domain2.pw
very.bad123.domain3.net
Squid-ACL List Format #
Squid-acl lists are used by the Squid proxy server and similar to domain lists.
Example:
domain.com
domain.ru
bad.domain2.org
verybad.domain2.pw
very.bad123.domain3.net
etc.hosts List Format #
The Unix/Linux operation system uses etc.host lists. These lists indicate the IP address before the domain. These are usually the IP address of the local host (127.0.0.1), or the IP address 0.0.0.0.
Example:
127.0.0.1 domain.com
127.0.0.1 domain.ru
127.0.0.1 bad.domain2.org
127.0.0.1 verybad.domain2.pw
127.0.0.1 very.bad123.domain3.net
Note #
For the domain, squid-acl and ect.hosts list, the # character indicates a comment. Everything in the same line after # is ignored.
Example:
# This hosts file is brought to you by XXXXXXX
# You are free to copy and distribute this file for non-commercial uses.
