If anyone's interested, I've been using my own custom filter list for Skynet... plug this URL into Skynet and profit:

Code:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ViktorJp/Skynet/main/filter.list

And yes, it contains all 3 Firehol lists as well. ;)
I’ve been using this almost since the day you posted your link and it performed quite well.
Unfortunately, since the last two updates of Skynet (probably not the cause), Skynet is blocking these Google domains: android.l.google.com youtube-ui.l.google.com ytimg.l.google.com encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com with the ban reason 1.txt
The result is that YouTube, but also Google account overview aren’t accessible anymore.
However, when I’m going through your list, I don’t see these entries.
What suggestions can you give on how to fix this?

thanks,
Eddie

p.s. after clearing skynet of the non-manual bans, youtube works again.

Thanks for the feedback, Eddie! I actually added a few more experimental lists just last week I believe, that both @SomeWhereOverTheRainBow and I were toying with. That 1.txt file is definitely one of them. Strange thing is, we use Android and YouTube religiously in our house, and have not run across any blocks as of yet. I will make some modifications in a few, and will let you know when to hit refresh on the blacklist in skynet. Okay?

@Bogey ... please go ahead and update the malware blacklist in skynet, and please let me know if you see any better results?

I been using your list for few months. Is this the current list? If I remember correctly it used to be around 170k. The IP list almost doubled?

Code:
328944 IPs (+0) -- 9095 Ranges Banned (+0) || 19740 Inbound -- 2098 Outbound Connections Blocked!

Yeah, those new additions doubled it... but I took a few off to see if that removed some of the false positives, and now it's back down to the 180+K range when you update it next time...

Thank you Viktor, I will report back.
FYI, I have one Android device and haven’t noticed anything weird on there. The device I did have trouble with are iPhone and iPad. I haven’t tested my desktop yet.

BTW... these are the additions I made @chongnt @Bogey ... seems like an interesting project. I removed the first 2 levels, hoping that levels 3 - 7 will yield less false positives since those IPs would find themselves on more blacklists.

Thanks @Viktor Jaep . Everything is still working fine. Only thing I noticed there is over 2k outbound blocked. Usually I don't get many outbound hit in the previous list.

Most likely some kind of false positive... or you have an unwanted visitor on your network. Lol. Any idea where its trying to reach out to?

I've never seem to retain in/outbound block stats in syslog post reboot.

I have been unashamedly copying your list to mine (as I dont know how github works/forks). I copy just because there is one list I wanted to include that I obtained permission from Bambenek

My syslog starts over on reboot as well. I think that's normal. Hopefully some of those stats will have translated over into the skynet UI or web UI?

Don't apologize! Please use whatever works for you! ;) Curious about your other list... is that a paid/private list?

Free home use only list haha. Your list works well for me. I added a few that was suggested here. I just updated/copied your list now. Will dm

It is from 1.txt list
My laptop keep looking for it. I have update your list to remove it.

Code:
admin@RT-AC86U-DBA8:/tmp/mnt/amtm/entware/var/log# cat skynet-0.log | grep -a DST=34.117.59.81 | wc -l
2013

Looks like there is some malicious behavior happening with that host though... did you see this?

Looks like ipinfo.io is the culprit.
I temporarily block this domain.

Are there any tutorials or a wiki for Skynet, I’m only new to using it (as I just put my ISPs modem into bridge mode and can now use Skynet), and I was interested in learning more about the ban feature.

Can I borrow your list for free home use? :)

Other than the main skynet thread, you might have some luck with this?
