The Matrix

My Privacy DNS

My Privacy DNS' "Matrix" project is a handcrafted and completely self-managed DNS Firewall through Response Policy Zones (RPZ).

The project aims to protect your privacy by blocking access to malicious domains and tracking servers to help you stay safe and secure. With the rise of online tracking and data breaches, it's more important than ever to take steps to protect your privacy online.

One of these features is the anti-porn (anti-NSFW) list, which blocks access to pornographic and explicit sites. This feature is especially useful for parents who want to ensure that their children are not exposed to inappropriate content online.

Additionally, you are supporting the development of other privacy-friendly software. Together, we can help protect our privacy and keep the internet safe and secure for everyone.

Source list

The source folder contains several sub-folders, each named as groups, for which a submission should be put. This however doesn't necessary mean that one domain can't be put into several 'groups'.

Ex. google.* which belongs to several groups as they represent all online evil, when we talk about privacy and anti-brainwashing/manipulation; Facebook is also well represented in several categories.

Categorizing

Each sub-folder of sources should contain its own README which in short describes what the list is all about and the criteria to add a domain into it's domain.list or wildcard.list. Each category is explained in Matrix Source Files.

Submitting

To report problematic websites, please create a new issue for each domain. You will need to provide the URL and a screenshot for evidence.

Combining the Matrix

For the Adult filtering, please refer to the README

Intro: The difference between files inside source/category_name is that, with RPZ we do not necessarily need to apply all found subdomain records, as wildcard is recognized as a valid blacklist record. This is allowing us to use only two types of record sheets wildcard.list and domain.list, this is also the explanation for why you haven't seen a hosts (RFC:953) file within our source list.

To use My Privacy DNS's records Matrix with a non RPZ recognizing system, such as Pi-hole and /etc/hosts or for Windows %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts, you would need to combine both the wildcard.list and domain.list.

Whitelist

This list has its own life, as it's a very, very tricky one to maintain.

The reason for that is, it has to balance between what is going on with a domain that, for several reasons, might be blacklisted on some lists but not on others. It can also be that a domain in general is 99,9% right, but because of its nature of user based submissions, could do a lot of evil.

Ex. Github.com

Gitlab is hosting 100% user submitted content, but for the same reason, is also a target for cyber criminals to host their evil Malware. For that reason, Gitlab often pops up on lists for malicious code. But as that would have a huge influence on our workflow, it would, of course, have to be whitelisted on our list.

Bulk commits

Bulk commits will only be tolerated, if done by a @developer of the repository, does it and ONLY if and when the source is commonly trusted and if the amount of domains can justify it will be way too time-consuming, to open an issue for each domain changed in the targeted domain.

note: This rule shall always be a copy of the common Bulk commits rule.

FAQ

Broken site

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

A: We have absolutely not broken your website by blocking any third-party domain.

It's you and only you who has submitted bad code and mis-written your website to behave badly. Be happy we haven't blocked your website already for leaking privacy to third party.

Why not Whitelisting

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

A:

  1. It's up to individual users (i.e. you) to create and maintain their own whitelist.

  2. By whitelisting bad domain X, because website Y uses bad domain X, we're deceiving our users who believe they're protected against bad domain X.

  3. Through this repository's issue board, we're trying our best, to give people the right information, for them to decide whether they should allow access to some domain(s), despite they being marked as bad.
