There are three different approaches to writing hosts blocklists:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Adblock-style syntax](#adblock-style) - modern approach to writing filtering rules based on using a subset of the Adblock-style syntax. This way blocklists will be compatible with browser ad blockers.
|
||||
- [/etc/hosts syntax](#etc-hosts) - the old, tried and true approach is to use the same syntax as Operation Systems use for the "hosts" files.
|
||||
- [domains-only syntax](#domains-only) - a list of domain names.

If you are creating a blocklist for AdGuard Home, we recommend using the [Adblock-style syntax](#adblock-style). It has a couple of important advantages over the old-style syntax:

|

- **Compatibility.** Your blocklist will be compatible with browser ad blockers, and it will be easier to share rules with a browser filter list.
|
||||
- **Extensibility.** For the last decade the Adblock-style syntax has greatly evolved, and we don't see why we can't extend it even more, and provide additional features for network-wide blockers.
|

|
||||
> If you're maintaining an old-style `/etc/hosts` blocklist or if you maintain multiple filter lists (regardless of which type), we provide a tool that can be used to compile blocklists for AdGuard Home. We called it [Hostlist compiler](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/HostlistCompiler) and we use it ourselves to create [AdGuard SDN filter](https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardSDNSFilter).

- `||example.org^` - block access to the `example.org` domain and all its subdomains

- `# Also a comment` - just a comment
|

- `/REGEX/` - block access to the domains matching the specified regular expression
|
||||
|
||||
## <a id="etc-hosts"></a> /etc/hosts syntax
|
||||
|
||||
For each host a single line should be present with the following information:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Fields of the entry are separated by any number of blanks and/or tab characters.
|
||||
|
||||
Text from the `#` character until the end of the line is a comment and is ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# This is a comment
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Hostnames may contain only alphanumeric characters, minus signs (`-`), and periods (`.`). They must begin with an alphabetic character and end with an alphanumeric character. Optional aliases provide for name changes, alternate spellings, shorter hostnames, or generic hostnames (for example, `localhost`).
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
127.0.0.1 example.org foo
|
||||
127.0.0.1 example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> Please note, that the `IP_address` value is ignored by most of the DNS filtering software.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## <a id="domains-only"></a> Domains-only syntax
|
||||
|
||||
This is just a list of domain names, one name per line.
|
||||
|

Example:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
example.com
|
||||
example.org
|

```
|

If a string is not a valid domain (e.g. `*.example.org`), AdGuard Home will consider it to be an [adblock-style](#adblock-style) rule.

## <a id="adblock-style"></a> Adblock-style syntax
|
||||
|

This is a subset of the [traditional Adblock-style](https://kb.adguard.com/en/general/how-to-create-your-own-ad-filters) syntax which is used by browser ad blockers.
