WindowsSpyBlocker rules #35
Comments
hi, @crazy-max nice idea, but why do you categorize rules by OS (
i think it possible, but hosts file is better by speed (i think)! |
@henrypp Because some probes are OS specific but many are common. |
The simplewall data format has been added : https://github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker/tree/master/data/simplewall |
Would this break users testing the Windows Insider Programme? (Testing beta/alpha pre-release windows) |
@ryanbr, yes it may. |
Apparently, Blocklist rules take priority over custom rules. I wanted to allow a VirtualBox.exe instance to ignore the Blocklist rules I've selected for the host system, but still it blocks the connections. simplewall also fails to pop up a notification for this, even though they're logged to a file. (I do not have "Exclude blocklist rules" enabled; I do not have "Disable notifications" for virtualbox.exe enabled.) |

Hello, Windows 10 1903 has a problem - it has a some new ip addresses of update servers. |
Hi @henrypp, thanks for your input, keep you in touch. |
Hi @henrypp
I'm the developer of WindowsSpyBlocker and i'm glad to see that you're using these rules ;)
I wanted to know if it would interest you that I integrate and directly generates the blocklist.xml in my repository?
The structure would look like this:
Then instead of copy / paste the rules from my repository you just have to download directly from your app the rules. A project called HostsMan can manage multi sources from the web and update automatically. I think it might interest you and why not also handle the blocking of domain names.
Let me know if you are interesting.
Thanks
