What is Hosts Blocklist?
No more ads, tracking and other virtual garbage
The NoTracking blocklist is a DNS based filter list for blocking ads, malware, phising and other online garbage.

Optimization
The optimizer makes full use of domainname based wildcard filtering *.adhost.net, this reduces the chance of missing any new subdomains and significantly reduces the size of the blocklists.
Dead hosts removal
All hostnames are constantly monitored for updates. In case the A, AAAA, CNAME and NS records return NXDOMAIN they will be marked as dead and removed. Domains are tested on their whois data and removed if they have been unregistered for a certain time.
The current list of dead hostnames can be found here and have a look here for all unregistered domains.
