Hosts file generator

Generate hosts blocklist file based on categories.

Generate the files in the cache directory based on the contents of ./data. This will fetch all APIs in json files and create files based on generator.options.format (default = hosts). npm run generate:cache

Create a blocklist file containing all entries (that are not skipped) from the cache directory. Override generator.options.skip with file/folder names (do not include extensions) to customize the output. npm run generate:blocklist

Get a map of the cache directory with file/folder names. npm run get:options

Report a false positive (a domain being blocked that shouldn't)

Get in touch with the list maintainer directly (for most blocklists this means creating an issue on the github repository of the list). We try to not interfere with third-party lists and deliver them to you as-is, most of the time the maintainers have valid reasons to block or not block a specific domain, and if it's a mistake it's better fixed upstream anyway.

Note: if this is about the NextDNS Recommended Ads & Trackers Blocklist, then please create an issue on this repository.
