**A unified blocklist for neutralizing surveillance and content filtering systems in managed network environments.**



This repository contains a comprehensive blocklist designed for seamless integration with modern network filtering and ad-blocking solutions. Its purpose is to inhibit the function of software commonly used for student monitoring, web censorship, and other forms of network-level restriction.



**DNS with Blocklist:** **[www.hapara.fail/services/dns](https://www.hapara.fail/services/dns)**



---



## 🛡️ Objective



The primary objective of this blocklist is to provide network administrators and users with a tool to disable the functionality of specific third-party services. It operates by blocking connections to domains essential to the operation of:



- **Student Monitoring & Surveillance:** Applications that monitor user activity, capture screen content, and report on browsing habits.

- **Web Censorship & Filtering:** Cloud-based and on-premise solutions that restrict access to websites and online resources.

- **Device Management (MDM):** Infrastructure used to force-install applications and enforce restrictions on managed devices.

- **Location Tracking:** Services used to track the physical location of users and devices.



---



## ✨ Core Features



- **Focused Scope:** The list is curated to target domains directly associated with surveillance and filtering software, minimizing the potential for unintended service disruption.

- **Adblock Plus Syntax:** Formatted using the `||domain.com^` syntax for compatibility with specific ad-blocking software, ensuring precise domain and subdomain blocking.

- **Community-Maintained:** The blocklist is actively updated based on community-submitted intelligence and research to adapt to the changing domain infrastructure of targeted services.

- **Privacy-Oriented:** Designed to restore user autonomy and enhance digital privacy by disabling intrusive network monitoring and location tracking.

## ⚙️ Format & Compatibility



This blocklist uses the **Adblock Plus (ABP) syntax** (`||domain.com^`). Due to this specific formatting, it is only compatible with software that can correctly parse this syntax.



#### ✅ Supported Software



This list should only be used with the following software:



- Pi-hole

- AdGuard / AdGuard Home

- eBlocker

- uBlock Origin / AdNauseam

- Brave (with Shields set to Aggressive)

- Little Snitch Mini



#### ❌ Incompatible Software



The list is **not formatted for** the following software and is therefore incompatible:



- AdAway / adblock-lean

- Bind / Blocky / Knot

- Diversion

- DNS66 / DNSCloak / DNSCrypt / DNSMasq / NextDNS

- Hostfile-based blockers

- InviZible Pro / Nebulo / PersonalDNSfilter

- NetDuma / NetGuard / OPNsense / pfBlockerNG

- OpenSnitch / PersonalBlocklist

- PowerDNS / Technitium DNS / Unbound / YogaDNS

- Response Policy Zone (RPZ)

- uMatrix

## 📥 Implementation Guide



Integration of the blocklist is a straightforward process for supported software.



1.  **Copy the Raw Blocklist URL:**



    ```

    https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/hapara-fail/blocklist@main/blocklist.txt

    ```



2.  **Add the URL to your Blocking Solution:**

    - **Pi-hole:** Navigate to `Group Management` > `Adlists` and add the URL as a new list source.

    - **AdGuard Home:** Go to `Filters` > `DNS blocklists` and select "Add blocklist" to import the URL.

    - **uBlock Origin / AdNauseam:** Open the dashboard, go to the "Filter lists" tab, scroll down to the "Custom" section, and paste the URL into the "Import" field. Then, click "Apply changes."

    - **Other Systems:** Consult the official documentation for your software, ensuring it supports the Adblock Plus syntax for custom remote lists.

## ⚠️ Disclaimer



- **Potential for Overblocking:** While the list is curated for precision, the use of wildcard domains or the blocking of shared infrastructure could disrupt legitimate services. **Thorough testing is strongly recommended** in a controlled environment before widespread deployment.

- **Effectiveness is Not Guaranteed:** The efficacy of this blocklist is contingent on the specific network architecture and filtering methods in place. It may not bypass all restrictive measures.

- **Service Infrastructure:** Targeted services frequently update their domains and hosting infrastructure. Continuous maintenance of this list is required for it to remain effective.

- **Responsible Use:** This blocklist is provided for informational purposes. Users are solely responsible for ensuring their use of this tool complies with all applicable acceptable use policies and local regulations.
