Adguardhome: Any plan on adding more block services?

Created on 26 Oct 2019  路  6Comments  路  Source: AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

I love Adguard Home and the simplistic service blocker is amazing. However, as of right now, there are very many crucial services missing and I was wondering whether there are any chance of adding more services. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Microsoft
  2. Amazon
  3. Reddit
  4. Google
  5. CloudFlare

You also need to add Yandex and Origin to the services block

Actually, you can add the services you want by yourself and open a PR so that we can include your patch in AGH release.

  1. Create a fork of AGH
  2. Add more services here:

  3. Open PR

I think we should not add microsoft and google it's the source for download, get latest updates and important details related softwares that run on most people's devices. If adguard home server owners block access due own desire then clients may get them through thirdparty insecure websites or leave them vulnerable in many aspects just it's not suitable for lead to such risk ourselves however agh users with proper IT knowledge that aware about what he/she does, still possible block those manually even no such specific option.

I feel the distinction there is whether you are blocking a 'service' versus blocking a 'company'.
The former seems to be what should (in my mind) be the feature in AGH. The latter is not, it's like a sledgehammer vs a scalpel :)

Done. amazon, cloudflare, ebay, reddit, origin added.

_when we blocked ex: reddit, origin then client softwares too become unusable however even prevent access to microsoft, google, yandex but clients still able use their web browsers, operating systems etc. if you think that's not risk then open PR or adguard may take care of it own way馃槈_

_(well. in that case, i dont care about amazon products. its necessary to unblock amazon domains to use kindle tablets, alexa properly )_
