What you feel with this lists ? It is already included someone else list ? I think ultimate list can break part of websites, but i dont care myself. This group wrote example github, they update list every 24h. But i dont know what is real update time.


Is this Custom answers section on dns page here this where i can itself block websites ? How it works ? Just write www.google.com, put mode "domain" and  klick Deny and then google is blocked ? Can i block all googles address just write google and add wildcard + deny and then all google domain and subdomain is blocked ? Can i use RegEx rule to block something ? I need to ask becouse i dont understand what is "custom answer" in here dns page.

Edit: I forgot. Is here already added some list what blocks all microsoft spying address ? I have pi-hole and there is list what blocks microsoft. List breaks some stuff on windows but i dont care, much better blocked and not let them spy on you. I didnt even know how much microsoft sending data out before i get installed pi-hole and i see whats really happend about every klick on windows. Im lucky becouse i found then Linux world and all stress disappear Keep it simple but more is much powerful !

There might be, but you probably want OISD instead. Energized had massive problems in the past with website reachability and they also blocked waaay too much. People regularly complained about it. Their Unified list contained close to 1.5 million entries with a ton of false positives and a difficult process of reporting them.
I see their website was overhauled and the biggest list now contains "only" 600k entries. But if this list still breaks things for you, then it's probably not the list for you. Really, have a look at OISD.

Domain would be simply google.com, as the little info text tells you, then www., drive., play., etc. will be blocked, too.

Use Domain mode to apply to the domain match and also to any subdomain.

It's not that simple. DoubleClick (advertising), YouTube and Android belong to Google, too. Oh, and there are the regional Google pages, too (google.de for example). These would not be blocked. But in contrast to Domain: google.com, a Wildcard: google will block all subdomains, all regional versions plus things like googleusercontent.com.
I think it's best to use a dedicated list for that. Sadly, I don't remember ever seeing such a list. There's an Adblock-compatible one for Facebook, though, so Google should exist as well somewhere. I welcome all hints in this direction myself.

If you cannot select it in the Mode list, probably not.

Well, normal DNS translates a domain to an IP address. For adblock purposes, domains are usually translated to an unspecified (0.0.0.0, ::) or localhost (127.0.0.1, ::1) address. A custom answer lets you specify what the DNS server should return instead if, in your case Google, is requested.

Let's call it telemetry, not spying. But yes, it is kinda annoying. That's why most people here, including me, will always recommend Linux or BSD instead. I see you grasped the advantages of running Linux yourself already

Few weeks ago I found out Microsoft does post what domains it contacts. Check out if there's any problems
