Cool idea, latency might be too high, wish the docs weren't all AI vomit.

Weird how the readme talks about hash collisions, but not in the way I would expect. Two blocked domains with the same hash isn't a problem, they both need to be blocked. Where hash collisions matter is false positives, e.g. if hash(google.com) = hash(adserver.com). There does appear to be a web dashboard and /unblock api so should be straightforward to resolve.

Whitelist/allowlist is easier, e.g., it's smaller Depends on the user but not everyone is visiting new websites everyday Even for those that are, the number of domain-IP mappings needed will be relatively small Definitely under 140,000 Most DNS data I use is "static", it rarely changes. As such most times I don't have to make DNS queries. I store the domain-IP mappings in proxy memory; this is faster than DNS No "blocklist" needed

I'm a bit of a paranoid freak that likes lists, so I've got a PiHole that has a total list of 14-16M blocked domains. Great idea, and good for casual blocking, but I'm almost moving to an "allow list" mindset. This solution would probably work better for that, I wonder if the good parts of the internet would fit into an 140k list.
