New client for GNU/Linux: opensnitch

[gustavo-iniguez-goya]

Hi!

Thank you for maintaining these lists.

I'm using these lists with OpenSnitch, so maybe it could be added to the list of clients? It supports hosts format, list of IPs, network ranges and domains with regular expressions:

Hello.
Is hosts file the only format supported? How about formats such as this, https://o0.pages.dev/Pro/domains.txt ?

[gustavo-iniguez-goya]

Yes, it's also supported. Supported formats are: hosts, list of IPs, list of network ranges and list of domains (regular expressions allowed)

[badmojr]

Ok! Which of the formats do you personally use?

[gustavo-iniguez-goya]

hosts format mainly. I also use domains list with regular expressions, but sometimes it causes false positives.

I'm not not on MacOS, so I am unable to take the app for a test drive myself.

Would u please test these formats below?
Please disable any other lists first, and send some ss or videos if possible.
https://o0.pages.dev/Pro/domains.txt
https://o0.pages.dev/Pro/domains.wildcards

[gustavo-iniguez-goya]

opensnitch is for Linux only, not mac :)

testing the list with 2 domains:

opensnitch-1hosts.webm

testing the list with a web browser:

opensnitch-1hosts-1.webm

[badmojr]

That's amazing!
Please now test with only https://o0.pages.dev/Pro/domains.wildcards as the blocklist.
Do a browser test too.

[gustavo-iniguez-goya]

Done!

opensnitch-1hosts-wildcards.webm

Great! I got one last question though.
What's the difference between the deny and reject rule on the first and the last videos?

[gustavo-iniguez-goya]

Deny discards the requests, until the system timeouts the connection. On the other hand Reject actively closes the connection. If you compare both videos with Deny and Reject, notice how fast loads ebay when rejecting ads domains.

[badmojr]

Cool! It's now included.

Thank you ! I hope it helps GNU/Linux users to discover this app to block ads/malware, etc system wide :)
