This is an intentionally small list of advertising and analytic domains for blocking in custom router firmware - such as DD-WRT, LEDE, and Tomato. The list is in dnsmasq configuration format.
The intention of this list is to block common advertising and analytics domains without overwhelming consumer routers with lists containing 5000+ ultra-specific domains.
dnsmasq (General Linux)
Copy the contents of list.txt into /etc/dnsmasq.conf.
LEDE
Create /etc/dnsmasq.conf, and copy the contents of list.txt into the file.
Or use wget.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aghorler/lightweight-dnsmasq-blocklist/master/list.txt -O /etc/dnsmasq.conf
Ensure dnsmasq is enabled, and client devices are using only the IP address of the router for DNS.
A firewall rule (Network > Firewal in the GUI) can be used to force the router be used for DNS.
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br-lan -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.1
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br-lan -p tcp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.1
DD-WRT
Copy the contents of list.txt into Additional DNSMasq Options under Services > Services > DNSMasq in the DD-WRT Control Panel. Instructions vary for other firmware.
Ensure dnsmasq is enabled, and client devices are using only the IP address of the router for DNS.
This list is solely a text file, and is not capable of collecting user data.
All blocked domains are redirected to the invalid IP address 0.0.0.0.
