This project offers a blocklist designed to stop trackers on websites connected to European Union and various government domains. It helps protect your privacy while browsing official sites. The list covers many countries in Europe and some others like the USA, Canada, and Australia.
The blocklist works with popular ad blockers and DNS filtering tools. It focuses on trackers and telemetry used on government websites, aiming to reduce unwanted data collection without interfering with normal website functions.

This guide will help you download and install the blocklist on Windows. Following these steps will let you add privacy protection to your system without needing technical skills.
To get the blocklist, visit the Releases page below. It shows all available versions. Pick the latest one to make sure you have the newest filters.
This blocklist works mostly with tools like:
- Pi-hole
- Adguard Home
- Adblock Plus
- uBlock Origin
You will need one of these or a similar DNS or ad-blocking tool installed on your device or network. These tools let you add custom blocklists like this one to block unwanted trackers.
If you do not have any, look for a beginner guide for installing Pi-hole or Adguard Home on Windows or your router.
- Go to the release page linked above.
- Find a file that ends with
.txtor.list. This is the blocklist file. - Download it to a folder you can find easily, like

Open the ad blocker or DNS filtering software you use. The steps below show how to add the blocklist URL or file:
-
If your tool takes list URLs:
Copy the raw URL of the blocklist file from the repository or releases. -

Open the blocklist file you downloaded.
Add the URL or file in your tool under custom blocklists or filter lists.
