Support wildcards in blacklisting?

[rmenessec]

Is there any chance of somehow wildcarding blacklisted hosts? I'd like to be able to block safemovedm.com (see: http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/11/user-data-plundering-by-android-and-ios-apps-is-as-rampant-as-you-suspected/ ), but it's not actually possible with AdAway. The level of detail in the report at http://techscience.org/a/2015103001/ isn't high enough to determine which FQDNs (if any) under that domain were observed in use.

I'm able to blacklist the entire domain on my own networks, using BIND, but I'd like AdAway protection on other networks.

Either adding DNS proxying support, adding a DNS proxying / ad-blocking app to use in conjunction with AdAway, or just reworking AdAway as a DNS-level blocker would make a lot of sense. There's a fair number of DNS blackholing for ads, tracking, malware, etc. to use as sources - I do.

Or, if anyone's aware of a DNS-level filtering app for Android, pointers would be appreciated.

As you eluded to, Adaway solely modifies the hosts file. As such, it can't possibly support wildcards in blacklisting (it's not how the hosts file works). There would have to be a fundamental change to how adaway blocks by adding a local dns proxy. This would be a new feature and not one I'm likely to implement.

would need to implement #47
to be able to do this at all.

Wildcard in blacklists are still not possible? Asking because you can use wildcards in the whitelist.

whitelist removes the matching entries from the host file,the way it works is different.
