hapara.fail Blocklist

A unified blocklist for neutralizing surveillance and content filtering systems in managed network environments.

This repository contains a comprehensive blocklist designed for seamless integration with modern network filtering and ad-blocking solutions. Its purpose is to inhibit the function of software commonly used for student monitoring, web censorship, and other forms of network-level restriction.

🛡️ Objective

The primary objective of this blocklist is to provide network administrators and users with a tool to disable the functionality of specific third-party services. It operates by blocking connections to domains essential to the operation of:

• Student Monitoring & Surveillance: Applications that monitor user activity, capture screen content, and report on browsing habits.
• Web Censorship & Filtering: Cloud-based and on-premise solutions that restrict access to websites and online resources.
• Device Management (MDM): Infrastructure used to force-install applications and enforce restrictions on managed devices.
• Location Tracking: Services used to track the physical location of users and devices.

---

✨ Core Features

• Focused Scope: The list is curated to target domains directly associated with surveillance and filtering software, minimizing the potential for unintended service disruption.
• Adblock Plus Syntax: Formatted using the ||domain.com^ syntax for compatibility with specific ad-blocking software, ensuring precise domain and subdomain blocking.
• Community-Maintained: The blocklist is actively updated based on community-submitted intelligence and research to adapt to the changing domain infrastructure of targeted services.
• Privacy-Oriented: Designed to restore user autonomy and enhance digital privacy by disabling intrusive network monitoring and location tracking.

⚙️ Format & Compatibility

This blocklist uses the Adblock Plus (ABP) syntax (||domain.com^). Due to this specific formatting, it is only compatible with software that can correctly parse this syntax.

✅ Supported Software

This list should only be used with the following software:

• Pi-hole
• AdGuard / AdGuard Home
• eBlocker
• uBlock Origin / AdNauseam
• Brave (with Shields set to Aggressive)
• Little Snitch Mini

❌ Incompatible Software

The list is not formatted for the following software and is therefore incompatible:

• AdAway / adblock-lean
• Bind / Blocky / Knot
• Diversion
• DNS66 / DNSCloak / DNSCrypt / DNSMasq / NextDNS
• Hostfile-based blockers
• InviZible Pro / Nebulo / PersonalDNSfilter
• NetDuma / NetGuard / OPNsense / pfBlockerNG
• OpenSnitch / PersonalBlocklist
• PowerDNS / Technitium DNS / Unbound / YogaDNS
• Response Policy Zone (RPZ)
• uMatrix

📥 Implementation Guide

Integration of the blocklist is a straightforward process for supported software.

1. Copy the Raw Blocklist URL:

   https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/hapara-fail/blocklist@main/blocklist.txt
   

2. Add the URL to your Blocking Solution:

   • Pi-hole: Navigate to Group Management > Adlists and add the URL as a new list source.
   • AdGuard Home: Go to Filters > DNS blocklists and select "Add blocklist" to import the URL.
   • uBlock Origin / AdNauseam: Open the dashboard, go to the "Filter lists" tab, scroll down to the "Custom" section, and paste the URL into the "Import" field. Then, click "Apply changes."
   • Other Systems: Consult the official documentation for your software, ensuring it supports the Adblock Plus syntax for custom remote lists.

⚠️ Disclaimer

• Potential for Overblocking: While the list is curated for precision, the use of wildcard domains or the blocking of shared infrastructure could disrupt legitimate services. Thorough testing is strongly recommended in a controlled environment before widespread deployment.
• Effectiveness is Not Guaranteed: The efficacy of this blocklist is contingent on the specific network architecture and filtering methods in place. It may not bypass all restrictive measures.
• Service Infrastructure: Targeted services frequently update their domains and hosting infrastructure. Continuous maintenance of this list is required for it to remain effective.
• Responsible Use: This blocklist is provided for informational purposes. Users are solely responsible for ensuring their use of this tool complies with all applicable acceptable use policies and local regulations.
