[Proposal] WindowsSpyBlocker hosts lists

[blacksadcamel 1]

• Name: WindowsSpyBlocker hosts lists (extra/spy/update)
• Description : Used to help reduce Microsoft spying and tracking on Windows systems.
• License: MIT

 

• A raw URL which our system can fetch from periodically in order to build the list: There are many list formats supplied for different applications (hosts file, openwrt, resolved ips, dnscrypt, etc)

I suppose the best fitting for your dns filtering systems would be the dnscrypt list, which includes only the domain names with wildcards.

Some WindowsSpyBlocker Lists are part of the OISD blocklist which is already provided by AirVPN. At least it's a start 😎
