nonsense (u can safely ignore this :)

I'm scraping the domains by deploying a free tethering (at public places). with ad-blocking, using AdAway, with these hosts lists: + [1Hosts](https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts) + [DanHorton's TikTok Blocklist](https://github.com/danhorton7/pihole-block-tiktok/blob/main/tiktok.txt) + [GoodByeAds + GoodbyeAds YouTube](https://github.com/jerryn70/GoodBye-Ads) + [StevenBlack](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts) + (and of course, my own blocklist, this project)

then i use AdAway's DNS Activity tab to monitor DNS Activity then scrap any:

• Unknown domains.
• Chinese domains (where lots of bad stuff happening, eg. *.cn, tiktok.com).
• Russian domains (mostly gambling, porn, invasive tracking/advertising, etc. eg. *.ru).
• Advertising/Tracking/Malware domains (eg. adx.com, thinkingdata.cn, obstremswiev.site, just to name a few).
• Game server domains (optional/miscellaneous, eg. Free fire/garena, MLBB/moonton/youngjoygame/yuanzhan, COC, PUBG/tencent).

that are not on the hosts list listed above and:

• add these to "private lists".
• Export the configuration file.
• Parse the "blocked" section on "adaway-backup.json".
• and add it to BaDomain.

I did the same with my DD-WRT home router, where i set up DNS over TLS and redirected all unencrypted DNS to this, and writing my own script that runs at startup that runs tcpdump to collect only DNS queryies from local devices and later i can grab the file to my PC, send it to my phone, and replace dns_log.txt in adaway cache with the tcpdump log that i sent from my PC, and did the same thing with DNS activity things
