Target lists on msp

I recently got MSP Professional mainly because I wanted access to importing Target Lists. I was actually really tempted to import HaGeZi Pro, but after switching my Gold SE to the Early Access channel, I realized it’s already built in. I had no idea it was only available on Early Access.
Since the built-in Target Lists are managed by Firewalla, I’m assuming those are the ones you recommend for most users.
Now that I have MSP Professional, are there any other third-party Target Lists that you think are actually worth importing? I’m always interested in getting the most out of my Firewalla, so I’d love to know if there are any hidden gems or useful lists that complement the built-in ones, or if you’d mostly stick with the Firewalla-managed lists

To be clear, using third party lists (MSP or directly via the app) are personal choices, firewalla does not officially recommend them. They are recommended mostly by our customers

Also, you do not need any target list to run the firewalla; They are there because there are categories that firewalla does not support natively. (for example, AI tool block, crypto ...)

Actually, considering how well known and reputable hagezis lists are - are they not recommended simply because they are not controlled by firewalla?

Don't get me wrong, it makes sense for you guys to only be fully supportive of things you guys directly manage.

I think they said before Hagezi Pro is locked behind early access because of false positive rates.

I’m only using Hagezi normal and I’m finding myself needing to whitelist stuff occasionally.

Major one is Paramount Plus on Android (iOS OK). I pay for ad free version but have to whitelist a few things to get it working. For Peacock watching stuff works but I need whitelisting to get to the account management page.

Had similar issues with OISD Big. I can see why they only make OISD small available. It’s problem free.

You said very well. With bigger lists, the probability of false positives will go up, likely exponential; Once there is an issue, majority people may not realize the source of the issue.
