The firewall is known to reduce performance slightly and this is why we have several different versions.
Here's a suggested guide based on cpu processors:
- Intel i3 - use
fullversion (if you experience bad performance then tryliteversion instead). - Intel i5 - use
fullversion (if you experience bad performance then tryliteversion instead). - Intel i7 - use
megaversion (if you experience bad performance then tryfullversion instead). - Intel i9 - use
betaormega(if you experience bad performance then tryfullversion instead).
Here's a suggested guide based on device:
- Mobile or Tablet - use
fullversion (if you experience bad performance then tryliteversion instead). - Laptop or Computer - use
betaormegaversion (if you experience bad performance then tryfullversion instead).
The Lite version excludes all the modules.

For more instructions check out our Hosts File Instructions Guide
For the blocking based on the HOSTS file use the below link:
You can simply copy and paste the contents of above file into your hosts file. The locations of your hosts file depends on your system:
- Linux:
/etc/hosts - MacOS:
/etc/hosts - Windows:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Whichever OS you use, you will require escalated privileges to edit the file (either use sudo for Linux/MacOS or administrative account on Windows). Or you can use command below for linux
sudo -- sh -c 'curl -sS https://github.com/chartingshow/crypto-firewall/blob/master/src/blacklists/hosts.txt >> /etc/hosts'
You may use the hosts file with below applications to block these miners on whole networks. Simply add the link to the above hosts file in each system.

This repo blocks specific free dns / hosting services, that are completely saturated with hosting malware and viruses. This is to reduce the size of the filter lists and increase the performance. A list of services currently blocked can be found in the folder here:
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) is a globally unique 16-digit identification number assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to Autonomous Systems (AS). ASNs are crucial for routing within networks and exchanging routing information with other Internet Service Providers. Autonomous systems numbered one to 64511 are available by IANA for global use. The 64512 to 65535 series is reserved for private and reserved purposes.
An Autonomous System Number (ASN) can also be blocked, be aware that ASN's contain a load of ip addresses assigned to them. You can add them to a firewall of your choice.
The ASN block list can be found here:
IP Addresses can also be blocked, these contain things such as command-and-control (C2) servers for crypto malware etc. You can add them to a firewall of your choice.
The IP block list can be found here:
For a thorough explanation on how to add block an ip address in your firewall, you can open one of the help guides found in this folder:
These custom IP address filter lists block specific malware and can be found in the folder:
The reason why these custom lists aren't in the main IP filter list is because these IP addresses maybe shared and used for public access or hosting multiple domains! These custom IP address filter lists are for advanced users who can customize them in order to not block their access or applications.
Email addresses can be blocked, our email block list contains known Crypto scammers, Ransomware, Sextortion and Blackmail email addresses.
The Email block list can be found here:

OFAC publishes lists of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. OFAC may add digital currency addresses to the SDN List to alert the public of specific digital currency identifiers associated with a blocked person.
The OFAC Sanctioned Digital Currency Addresses lists can be found in this folder:
Sanctioned entities refer to entities listed on economic/trade embargo lists, such as by the US, EU, or UN, with which anyone subject to those jurisdictions is prohibited from dealing. Currently, this includes the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list of the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
You can search the full list of OFAC Specially Designated Nationals in OFAC's sanctions database.
