I love simplewall & freeshooter project and am happy to see Henry update SimpleWall after archiving the project for some time. I have some suggestions.

1. Custom updatable blocklists like in uBlock Origin to block ads, trackers, malware, crypto stuff, phishing, etc. it becomes a standalone adblocker for pc that block ads in every pc program.

2. domain name-based website blocking.

3. The blocklist should be updated. I mean https://github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker was last updated 3 years ago. We need something. to replace it.

yes, i can realize this ftr, but what sources do you know?

[kakayzai]

I try to search for new https://github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker . If I find a new list, I can update you here.

For adblocking, start with EasyList and AdGuard sources; you can find all sources in the uBlock Origin browser extension. uBlock Origin still works in the Firefox browser and the Brave browser.

This is an open-source adblocker called Zen, but it uses a proxy to block ads. I don't like it. https://github.com/ZenPrivacy/zen-desktop

@kakayzai Microsoft maintains an up-to-date list of hosts that Windows connects to, in case it might be helpful.

There exists such a rich project with various lists. It would be awewome if the user could easily put the link of lists into the application. https://iplists.firehol.org/ https://github.com/firehol/blocklist-ipsets

Here is an example list that block threats and malicious IPs. https://www.binarydefense.com/banlist.txt

However, entering such list that is updated daily and contains more than 6K IPs is practically impossible for the user. But if we automate this process, it would be excellent.
