1.5 Million, with 35% blocked. The majority of the blocked requests are from one Amazon fire HD tablet and a TCL Roku 4K "smart" tv. When they can't call home they significantly increase their requests.
@@yerunski Maybe some devices on your network have Hardcoded DNS, which bypass you Pi-Hole if they cant phone home ? Block Port 53 outgoing for all devices on the Network, except Pihole and check if that helps.
Great video Tim! Wanted to add that instead of copy/pasting ALL those lists manually, you can copy and paste them TOGETHER. In "Adlist group management" under hints it says: "2. Multiple adlists can be added by separating each unique URL with a space." Happy blocking!! :D
I have about 3.1m for about 2 months now and honestly, I had to open pihole maybe 5 times only to change something. No one in home said anything about a website blocked and it is running fine! Thank you for the video btw!
I used to think that online tracking was something done by a very restricted but powerful companies, google, facebook, alibaba. What Pi-Hole showed me, and this video amplifies, is that there is a whole industry with millions of servers and agents with the explicit purpose of following you around. Its not some huge corporation that gets away with it because people turn a blind eye, its a whole market with distributors and producers in the business of getting and selling your data.
Another good trick is for things like Telemetry they all tend to use the same domain names, so you can use a single RegEx to block thousands of them at a time. This saves a lot of memory on your pi-hole device and makes things a lot faster.
I have Pi-hole running for over a year now. With a block list of: 4,283,845 domains. Didn't need to change much,. This is for my family without any complains. Most of the time's it prevents my mom to buy stuff of a goofy site, or login with her Facabook.
I went with the green block lists only. Thanks for posting this, it helped me up the amount of blocking on my pihole with little issues with "quality of life"
The lists that might interfere or break websites are exactly the lists you should try to use. It lets you know which companies you probably shouldn't do business with.
You can add all the lists in one section at once. Just highlight them and copy&paste them. They are automatically divided so the pi.hole will process them as individual lists.
Oh man. Thank you. True. Copy an entire list in one section, paste into the one field and each blocked site is added separately. It was easy and quick to add 1.9 million blocked sites. I was going crazy and you saved the day.
Used this in my first pi project ever. Works like a charm. One caveat though, my history of viewed RUclips videos stopped adding new content. One simple whitelisting and all is good. I have teenagers and a blockrate of above 45 percent. Just one days of stats but still.
I’ve been running with 3M on my blocklist for quite some time now. For the most part everything works just fine, but every now and then I have run into something I need to whitelist. Great video!
when blocking most traffic, I was able to see how much my Smart Tvs are phoning home. After smacking in a Lot of lists and then white listing to fine tune, still have 1.53M sites blocked. When the kids were living at home, I had to add a bunch to my black list as I would watch what they were doing.
I know I'm late to the party, but awesome video, Tim! I just added all the block lists for fun. Keep in mind this is 1 year after you posted this. I have over 5 million domains on my adlists now lol. I'm slowly turning some of them off, like Facebook and the smart tv one. Great tutorial as always!
5.32 Million listed with 33.62% blocking running in gravity sync Pi-hole (x2) with whitelists added. (So no debug required and apps & website function working perfectly excellent with no hiccups) + pfSense with pfBlockerNG (10 million IPs & Geo) with 21.52% & Snort (IPS mode) + (DNScrypt + Cloudflare (DOH) + Undound (DOT)) x2 + OPNsense (with Undound, DNSmasq, Packet Filtering, Suricata (IDS mode) & Monitoring) = working in unison & perfection
I wonder if anyone performed tests whether ad blocking increases latency (especially with so many rules on the list). Using fiber, in my experience at least some Chrome extensions perform noticeably better than others in that regard. But I am not sure is it because of different rule sets or the fact that they may pull list updates as you load pages, or other inner workings.
Just rewatched the video to add all these lists to the blocklist of my pihole server. The amount of blocked domain list has risen to *4.6 MILLION DOMAINS*. Just insane!
This year i began usign pi hole in a virtual machine for my whole network, i put the green ones and 2 ir 3 of the blue ones and then i began investigating the sources of all the block list, usually the greenones are the only ones that end up being used the most of the times, what it amazed me was the tracking and phishing all the companies that i use are in it, im going to xhange it to a raspberry and i think i would need to trim a little bit the list.
Dropped in to say thanks ! I think i was the original person to ask all about your one million block lists on your original video. But three million. I think I’d be watching those logs forever.
Dude man! Congrats on your huge subscriber increase, I found you around 2k if I remember correctly. So its great to see the massive increase. Due to good quality work on your content, and the desire to help others that share your tech passions. I hope your channel continues to grow exponentially.
The worst part is performance tanking because the device has to go through the whole list to find a single domain. Keep stuff within the 100-400k range. Avoid paranoia and be smart, block stuff you see often. I remember using a massive list on a phone, it got so bad opening any website would take 2 minutes to load.
I would subscribe but I honestly have no idea what you are talking about, bit I loved and used the Pi-Hole vid to get me setup and going, thank you so much
Always a pleasure watching things come together... Pro tip: $ wget the index.html that hardlinks to the access list. Logically awk should be able to parse that list and modify it into your personal access list...

Great start for those just getting into the wonderful world of Pihole. If you haven't already, do an in-depth video on making the Pihole your dedicated DCHP, and recursive DNS server!
Have done that way back in 2012 to 2015 in firewall programs and found it to hamper the internet to a level of Usability. Better to use browser based blockers which performs far far better and give control that these list or program never can give.
I have ~0.8M domains/sites for the rest of my family and ~5M extra for myself. A mix of not trusting myself and being easier for me to debug if something goes wrong.

1.5mil blocked on my pi-hole. I've found an interesting whitelist that helped 95% of my issues with such a large list. Some google-fu would find it (was on pi hole forums maybe?).
You should take a look at pihole5 list tool on github, it is a python program that adds all kinds of listets for you. That way you do not have to copy past 20 times yourselve.
Maybe you can answer a question. I added all of you lists from firebog, but I only ended up with 951,618. However I have adblock and malwarebytes in my browser and they still block tons of stuff. Malwarebytes as I'm typing this reads 1932 and climbing. What did I miss. TIA
I think the browser plugins are activated before pi-hole dns is queried. So, adblock and malwarebytes filters them out and the rest is handled by pi-hole. Anyone else to confirm my thinking?
i just keep the default list and add some to the black list. i also use adblock plus and ublock origin addons for my browsers which makes it pretty painless
Hey thanks! This is something I’ve mentioned many times on my live streams and our Discord server. Still here, always working on the next thing, it will be out when it’s ready 😀
You added the lists one at a time for the comments? I commend you. That was too tedious for me, so I just added a space after each URL and added them en masse
love this instructions. been working great for me too. I tried to start with 3 m but that is a pain to find what my family use. can you share what you whitelist?
I clicked on one swimsuit model. .. The darn algorithm knows I am not strong enough to stop clicking on her again! Tim, have you considered a swimsuit? I am kidding, of course.
So this will block practically none of the really intrusive ads on my ip tv, or youtube videos, or instagram, or the facebook feeds. All will still be there and only banners on websites will be blocked. This was the state of adblocking in the 2000s.
A huge blocking list like that will not slowdown too much the DNS functionality? In the Audit.log what is the function of the Audit button? Thanks for your videos!
I’ve gone up to 5m in the list and performance is still good. PiHole in an Ubuntu server vm is ok with 2gb of RAM. I’m currently allocating 4gb minimum to it to make it slightly faster in the UI. Browsing feels faster with a big block list as 20-40% of the endpoints for web pages are not getting loaded. After running for a while, 20-40% of dns responses are coming from PiHole cache.
had no idea a year ago and I just started to copy just the URLs of websites into the blacklist tab. stopped somewhere between 600 and 700 because they somehow didn't work that well, Chrome was slow af and it was just annoying.
I used to have about 3 million on the blocklist, and it wasnt unusable, but thats just because i dont use any social media other than youtube If you had to visit the notorious sites, it'd be pretty awful
Can you do a video about setting up Nginx Proxy Manager with dnsmasq in docker to serve .local domain on the home network (tired of edit the hosts on each pc)?
Do you use PiHole? How many domains do you have on your PiHole Blocklist?
1.5 Million, with 35% blocked. The majority of the blocked requests are from one Amazon fire HD tablet and a TCL Roku 4K "smart" tv. When they can't call home they significantly increase their requests.
1.3 million, most of them are for blocking ads, the others are for blocking domains used for tracking or malicious stuff
1.1 Million, only 2.7 % blocked. Maybe my many Zabbix queries are causing the percentage to go down?
@@yerunski Maybe some devices on your network have Hardcoded DNS, which bypass you Pi-Hole if they cant phone home ? Block Port 53 outgoing for all devices on the Network, except Pihole and check if that helps.
Around 780k Domains on Block, with around 44 percent blocked. As an extra i have Pihole use Unbound as an Upstream :)

Haven't checked in a while, so a bit surprised myself, but I've got 3,435,219 blocked domains =)
Oooh, ya beat me! 3,414,584 here. Can be a hassle browsing at times or especially clicking on links in emails.
Awesome video like always , currently having 4.170,748 and still some adds find their way in I might be doing something wrong.
Almost 5.1 mil here 😅 around 32% of traffic blocked daily
