oof, i can’t load the page because it’s blocked by my Pi-Hole.


I noticed the other day that blocklists really don’t like the word “counter”. I had a bunch of simple demos, one of which was a counter, and it was the only one that didn’t work. Turned out u-block was preventing it from loading.


This is a never-ending problem with web applications that use so-called "routing" (where the client is made to make connections to a variety of URLs, which gets blocked if the URL contains "ad" or similar).


That's not called "routing"


Same. The whole domain shows up in the list. I have too many lists right now to know which is blocking it. Does Pi-Hole have an easy way to see which list a domain comes from?

edit: it's in the https://v.firebog.net/hosts/AdguardDNS.txt adlist.


Under „Tools“ > „Search Adlists“.


Hidden in sight :>

counter.dev is in the https://v.firebog.net/hosts/AdguardDNS.txt adlist.

It seems someone else's mention of adlists not liking the word 'counter' is true. There's almost 300 domains with 'counter' in it just in that list.
