There are simpler ways to make browsing less painful (scriptblockers, ad-blockers, privacy proxies, etc), that are just a browser plug-in to install. But, for anyone who's already got BIND running, adding a bunch of lines like the following to the /etc/named.conf file: zone "doubleclick.net" { type master; file "dead.zone"; }; zone "doubleclick.com" { type master; file "dead.zone"; }; zone "adwords.google.com" { type master; file "dead.zone"; }; zone "googlesyndication.com" { type master; file "dead.zone"; }; zone "googleservices.com" { type master; file "dead.zone"; }; zone "googleadservices.com" { type master; file "dead.zone"; }; Which all load up a barebones dead.zone file from where all your other zone files are stored (typically /var/named/), just like this: $TTL 10 @ IN SOA ns.localdomain. hostmaster.mail.localdomain. ( 42 ; serial 20 ; refresh 20 ; retry 20 ; expire 20 ; ttl ) IN NS ns.localdomain. This instantly kills traffic to any domain, and sub-domain, that you list in the named.conf, how I've shown above. It kills it for anything that uses the web, not just your web browser. Your mail client, your smart TV, etc. The zone file acts like a wildcard does-not-exist answer to all related queries. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 18 16:34:56 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
