hostsblock.conf

# CACHE DIRECTORY. Directory where blocklists will be downloaded and stored.

#cachedir="%_HOME%/cache" # DEFAULT


# WORK DIRECTORY. Temporary directory where interim files will be unzipped and
# # processed. This directory will be deleted after hostsblock completes.
#
# #tmpdir="/tmp/hostsblock" # DEFAULT

# FINAL HOSTSFILE. Final hosts file that combines together all downloaded blocklists.

#hostsfile="%_HOME%/hosts.block" # DEFAULT 


# REDIRECT URL. IP address to which blocked hosts will be redirect, either 0.0.0.0 or
# 127.0.0.1. This replaces any entries to 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1. If you run a
# pixelserver such as pixelserv or kwakd, it is advisable to use 127.0.0.1.

#redirecturl="0.0.0.0" # DEFAULT


# HEAD FILE. File containing hosts file entries which you want at the beginning
# of the resultant hosts file, e.g. for loopback devices and IPv6 entries. Use
# your original /etc/hosts file here if you are writing your final blocklist to
# /etc/hosts so as to preserve your loopback devices. Give hostshead="0" to
# disable this feature. For those targeting /etc/hosts, it is advisable to copy
# their old /etc/hosts file to this file so as to preserve existing entries.

#hostshead="0" # DEFAULT


# DENYLISTED SUBDOMAINS. File containing specific subdomains to denylist which
# may not be in the downloaded denylists. Be sure to provide not just the
# domain, e.g. "google.com", but also the specific subdomain a la
# "adwords.google.com" without quotations.

#denylist="%_HOME%/deny.list" # DEFAULT


# ALLOWLIST. File containing the specific subdomains to allow through that may
# be blocked by the downloaded blocklists. In this file, put a space in front of
# a string in order to let through that specific site (without quotations), e.g.
# " www.example.com" will unblock "http://www.example.com" but not
# "http://subdomain.example.com". Leave no space in front of the entry to
# unblock all subdomains that contain that string, e.g. ".dropbox.com" will let
# through "www.dropbox.com", "dl.www.dropbox.com", "foo.dropbox.com",
# "bar.dropbox.com", etc.

#allowlist="%_HOME%/allow.list"


# CONNECT_TIMEOUT. Parameter passed to curl. Determines how long to try to
# connect to each blocklist url before giving up.

#connect_timeout=60 # DEFAULT


# RETRY. Parameter passed to curl. Number of times to retry connecting to
# each blocklist url before giving up.

#retry=0 # DEFAULT


# MAX SIMULTANEOUS DOWNLOADS. Hostsblock can check and download files in parallel.
# By default, it will attempt to check and download four files at a time.

#max_simultaneous_downloads=4 # DEFAULT


# BLOCKLISTS FILE. File containing URLs of blocklists to be downloaded,
# each on a separate line. Downloaded files may be
# either plaintext, zip, or 7z files. Hostsblock will automatically
# identify the file type.

#blocklists="%_HOME%/block.urls"


# REDIRECTLISTS FILE. File containing URLs of redirectlists to be downloaded,
# each on a separate line. Downloaded files may be either
# plaintext, zip, or 7z files. Hostsblock will automatically
# identify the file type.

#redirectlists="" # DEFAULT, otherwise "%_HOME%/redirect.urls"
