qurbat / blocked-hosts Goto Github PK

The input.txt file (Combined list of hosts to check) is not committed in the repo, and makes it hard to reproduce this work for other providers.

Badges for the repository (as pictured above) are currently updated manually every time an update is made to the compiled_block_list.txt file. The process of manually updating the README file every time a change is made to the block list, however, is a part of the commit workflow that can be dealt with quite reliably using GitHub Actions.

This issue is meant to document and track progress for any change(s) that may be required for this.

How to unblock a website banned by airtel?

I ran massdns against the list of blocked hosts using Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8) and found that 21.66% of them returned an NXDOMAIN response, indicating expired domain names.

This presents a unique problem. While these domain names are no longer active, they continue to remain on ACT Fibernet's block list. If someone were to re-register one of these domain names tomorrow, it would still probably continue to remain blocked. What should be done in this situation? Should this project only document currently active domain names? Or should it document even expired domain names that continue to remain on ACT Fibernet's block list?

Context for this issue is available here.
