New list that is up to date

Recommended Posts

I found this list that is kept up to date for blocking porn.  Not sure what all information is required by AIR but this is what I have found:

The names seems to be StevenBlack from github

This is the main site:   https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/blob/master/alternates/porn/readme.md

and this is the list:  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/alternates/porn/hosts

Sorry if this is not the correct way, I am not all that computer savvy.

Hmm, I thought I could just copy his list to my host file but that completely locked up my internet, couldn't connect to anything at all, I guess it is the 0.0.0.0 that is doing that?

What OS are you using?  If you're on Windows, a large hosts (3MB or bigger) file causes a lot of issues; it can slow connections to a crawl. Steven Black's hosts files are huge, and they contain the main block list plus additional categories.  If you want to use Steven Black's main list, I would recommend using it through Air at the DNS level.  The porn list is not updated here often.
On your local machine, I suggest combining Dan Pollock's list https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/hosts with this anti-porn list https://github.com/4skinSkywalker/Anti-Porn-HOSTS-File
It will keep your local hosts file at 2MB and still block most of what you need whether you're connected to AirVPN or not.

Win10.  Ah, didn't know about the size thing, that would explain why FF wouldn't connect to anything etc.  I don't know how to use a list with a DNS,

I did find CleanBrowsing DNS which is a child proof DNS, it really blocks youtube videos (historical content like WW2 documentaries) which is more then what I want, but I can connect to UT via AIR with it and I would rather the internet be too locked down then not enough.  Keeping kids safe is a hard job.

The StevenBlack host list is contained in OISD Full, so this could be a duplicate to some extent.
