Thank you for your invaluable work on the Rethink DNS service.

May I add to the blocklist for the Chinese firm(s) Honor and Huawei? They are essentially the same firm with the exact same processes and system apps except with slightly different names. I own a Honor device and it has a lot of bloatware that keeps sending unnecessary packages to their data center.

For Honor, the blocklists are:

   grs.hihonorcloud.com
   trs-dra.push.hihonorcloud.com
   metrics-dra.dt.hihonorcloud.com
   apm-ap.yun.hihonor.com
   update.platform.hihonorcloud.com
   appresource-gw-dra.hispace.hihonorcloud.com

For Huawei, while I do not have a blocklist myself, I found some published online that would be very useful too (note the similarity between the hicloud and hihonorcloud domains

https://gitlab.com/W1nst0n/universal-android-debloater/-/blob/master/lists/Huawei.sh https://github.com/deep-bhatt/huawei-block-list/blob/master/huawei-block-host.txt

Please consider adding them into your blocklist for Rethink DNS, as you have suggested on your FAQ page.
