Editing Whitelist and Blacklist
What to Whitelist or Blacklist¶
This extension for Google Chrome can help you in finding out which domains you need to whitelist.
How to Whitelist or Blacklist¶
There are scripts to aid users in adding or removing domains to the whitelist or blacklist.
The scripts will first parse whitelist.txt or blacklist.txt for any changes, and if any additions or deletions are detected, it will reload dnsmasq so that they are effective immediately.
Each script accepts the following parameters:
[domain] |
Fully qualified domain name you wish to add or remove. You can pass any number of domains. |
|---|---|
-d |
Removal mode. Domains will be removed from the list, rather than added |
-nr |
Update blacklist without refreshing dnsmasq |
-f |
Force delete cached blocklist content |
-q |
Quiet mode. Console output is minimal. Useful for calling from another script (see gravity.sh) |
Domains passed are parsed by the script to ensure they are valid domains. If a domain is invalid it will be ignored.
Example pihole -w usages¶
pihole -w domain1 [domain2...] |
Attempt to add one or more domains to the whitelist and reload dnsmasq. |
|---|---|
pihole -w -nr domain1 [domain2...] |
Attempt to add one or more domains to the whitelist, but do not reload dnsmasq. |
pihole -w -f domain1 [domain2...] |
Attempt to add one or more domains to the whitelist and force dnsmasq to reload |
To remove domains from the whitelist:
Add -d as an additional argument (e.g pihole -w -d domain1 [domain2...])
Example pihole -b usages¶
pihole -b domain1 [domain2...] |
Attempt to add one or more domains to the blacklist and reload dnsmasq. |
|---|---|
pihole -b -nr domain1 [domain2...] |
Attempt to add one or more domains to the blacklist, but do not reload dnsmasq. |
pihole -b -f domain1 [domain2...] |
Attempt to add one or more domains to the blacklist and force dnsmasq to reload |
To remove domains from the blacklist:
Add -d as an additional argument (e.g pihole -b -d domain1 [domain2...])
