Dear Community,

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support on the DNS blocklists and DNS servers throughout the year.

Your valuable feedback, detailed bug reports, and thoughtful suggestions have greatly improved the stability, coverage, and overall usability of these projects.

A special thank you to everyone who reported issues, tested updates, contributed improvements, promoted the project within their networks, or supported it through donations. Every star, donation, and constructive discussion highlights the project’s importance and fuels its continued development.

In the face of ever evolving challenges in advertising, tracking, and malware domains, your quick insights and collaborative spirit have helped keep the lists current and effective. This community has grown into a trusted space for sharing expertise, resolving technical questions, and exploring innovative DNS protection strategies.

Wishing you and your families a joyful holiday season, moments of rest and reflection, and a prosperous New Year. I look forward to our continued collaboration in 2026 - expanding features, developing new safeguards, and strengthening online privacy together.

With sincere thanks,
Gerd

Thank you!
For creating such awesome project, updating it, keeping it alive and creating all the various lists to tailor suit our configurations.

Honestly this is one of the best project one can find. The usage of your Blocklists is second to none.

Thanks for making these blocklists - and for removing the AI-generated logo thing in the README (that was spelled incorrectly)

Thank you as well! This project is one of the fastest time-to-market for blocklists. It's critical for businesses to protect themselves and their employees from phishing links that are short lived and time critical. That short window when these phishing links are alive is commonly missed by other blocklists.

I will continue to contribute links to the blocklist as long as this project is alive.

Seriously! It seems crazy when I make an issue and it gets approved 2-4 minutes later

Thank you for your prompt response in blocking the reported malicious domains 💚

Thank you for making torrent and porn list. Now I use them to tunnel traffic into VPN.

You are a wonderful resource for the privacy community as a whole, I'm glad that you let us as users contribute even a little bit when you do so much.

Thanks for creating your wonderful DNS filters. They are the best and most reliable filters available today. My family and I rely on them every day.

We also appreciate how quickly you fix any rare false positives and add reported domains to the blacklists.

Wishing you and your family all the very best. Maybe it's time for you to take a well-deserved break for a few days and worry less about checking new GitHub issues ;)

I think i must thanks to you dude

Your Pro lists have blocked many tracker through all of my family device dns traffic, laptops, and TV through NextDNS even the vendor specific one. 35,1% from overall traffic and very-very little false positive

Thank you for the thoughtful message—and for all the work you’ve put into maintaining the DNS blocklists and servers this year. It’s been great to be part of a community that’s so responsive and collaborative, and it shows in how stable and effective the project has become.

I also appreciate how quickly you act on reports and suggestions. With ad/tracker and malware infrastructure constantly changing, your updates and clear communication make it much easier for us to stay protected and keep deployments running smoothly.

Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season and a happy, healthy New Year.

Best regards,
