analytics.shein.com

Please consider adding this domain to the blocklist. Shein is a large international clothing retailer, sometimes used by my wife. I found this domain allowed in my DNS logs and it doesn't appear to be blocked by any of the main blocklists, including yours.

I have had it manually blacklisted in AdGuard Home (||analytics.shein.*^) for months now, and it has never caused issues using the site but nor has any blocklist ever picked it up. I would suggest the reason for inclusion is apparent from the url itself.

Please note that the website also redirects to local versions, so you may consider also kindly adding analytics.shein.co.uk and/or other variants as required (those are the two I know of, and I see you have a hostsfile format rather than broader abp format list which would allow wildcards).

Thanks for your consideration.

Hello! Thank you for opening your first issue in this repo. It’s people like you who make these host files better!

Thank you @RainmakerRaw those two are added in commit 64ba96e and this will be live in the next release.

Closing.

Thank you! Please forgive my replying to a closed issue, but on further investigation (which I'm embarrassed I didn't carry out sooner) it seems that analytics.shein.com is now simply a CNAME. Whether they moved their analytics to a separate server, or outsourced, I'm unsure. It used to be its own A record and IP.

Regardless, if you added the root domain 250analytics.com, you'd likely weed out a lot of other missed analytics subdomains/CNAMES elsewhere. I note that some other blocklists do now include this particular domain, but alas not yours (yet?). Two birds, one stone, etc. Just a suggestion.
