# My Privacy DNS Matrix

## Introduction



My Privacy DNS is an organisation dedicated to maintaining a comprehensive

knowledge base on blacklisted domains across various DNS blacklist projects. Our

primary goal is to collect and organise this information to provide clear

insights into why certain domains are blacklisted. The secondary objective is to

offer these blacklists through the Matrix repository as a direct reflection of

the data gathered

from [kb.mypdns.org/issues/MTX](https://kb.mypdns.org/issues/MTX), Matrix

issues,

and [mypdns.youtrack.cloud/issue/MTX](https://mypdns.youtrack.cloud/issue/MTX).



## Features



### DNS Firewall



The "Matrix" project is a meticulously crafted and entirely self-managed DNS

Firewall utilising Response Policy Zones (RPZ). The primary objective of this

project is to safeguard your privacy by obstructing access to malicious domains

and tracking servers, thereby providing a secure online environment. Given the

escalating instances of online tracking and data breaches, it is imperative to

adopt measures to protect one's privacy online.



### Anti-Porn (Anti-NSFW) List



A notable feature of this project is the anti-porn (anti-NSFW) list, which

restricts access to pornographic and explicit websites. This feature is

particularly beneficial for parents who wish to prevent their children from

encountering inappropriate content online.



## Source List



The `source` directory comprises various sub-folders, each representing distinct

groups for domain submissions. For instance, `google.*` is included in several

groups due to its extensive online presence.



## Categorising



Each sub-folder within `sources` contains a README file that outlines the list

and criteria for adding domains to its `domain.list` or `wildcard.list`.

Detailed explanations for each category are available in

the [Matrix Source Files](source/README.md).



## Submitting



To report problematic websites, please create a new issue for each domain,

providing the URL and a screenshot for evidence.



To report problematic websites, please follow these steps:



- Create a new issue for each problematic website.

- Provide the website's URL and a screenshot as evidence.

- If there is already an issue for the

  website's [eTLD](https://kb.mypdns.org/articles/MTX-A-89)

  or [gTLD](https://kb.mypdns.org/articles/MTX-A-90) domain (like "example.com"

  or "example.org"), add your report to that existing issue.

- If no issue exists for that domain, create a new issue with the

  domains [eTLD](https://kb.mypdns.org/articles/MTX-A-89)

  or [gTLD](https://kb.mypdns.org/articles/MTX-A-90) as the title.



## Combining the Matrix



With [RPZ](https://kb.mypdns.org/articles/MTX/RPZ), we utilise `wildcard.list`

and `domain.list` records, which explains the absence of a

hosts ([RFC:952](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc952)) file in our source

list. To use My Privacy DNS's records Matrix with systems such as Pi-hole or

`/etc/hosts`, combine both the `wildcard.list` and `domain.list`.



## Whitelist



The whitelist is complex and requires meticulous handling. It is crucial to note

that whitelisting is a personal task and should not be undertaken by third

parties.



For instance, Gitlab hosts user-submitted content and may occasionally be

flagged for malicious code. However, blocking it would significantly impact our

workflow, necessitating its inclusion on the whitelist.



## Bulk Commits



Bulk commits are permissible solely if executed by a @developer of the

repository and only when the source is commonly trusted and the number of

domains makes individual issues impractical.



## FAQ



### Broken Site



**Q**: Your lists have broken my website by blocking a third-party domain!



**A**: We have not caused your website to malfunction. The issue stems from your

own miswritten code that compromises privacy by involving third parties.



### Why Not Whitelisting



**Q**: Why don't you whitelist `example.com`?



**A**:



1. It is the responsibility of individual users to create and maintain their own

   whitelist.

2. Whitelisting a malicious domain like domain X because website Y uses it

   misleads our users.

3. Our objective is to provide users with accurate information to enable

   informed decisions.
