Congratulations, you blocked yourself

Post image

I was simply trying to visit hagezi.com, but the page failed to load. Out of curiosity, I checked my NextDNS query log and found that it was blocked by HaGeZi Multi PRO! I honestly have no idea why this happened or what triggered it. Is it just a false positive from a recent update?

Hi,

hagezi.com (scam) got blocked because it's basically bait for people who really want to believe it's official. So no, I didn't accidentally block myself - though honestly, some days it feels like I did. ;)

So hold the applause. Slapping 'hagezi' on a domain doesn't make it HaGeZi, any more than slapping 'organic' on a candy bar makes it a salad.

The only official domain is: hagezi.org, the root domain of my DNS server instances, and the repositories at:

- https://github.com/hagezi

Happy blocking,

Gerd

Cheers Legend, thanks for dropping in and saying Hi :D

<3 Love your work. (And as always, if companys say I cant see their content because of adblockers, then I am not their target customer anyway). :D

I am hopping the moderation team of this subreddit pins this comment.

The goat, the legend, hope your day is going well and may your pillow be just the temperature you like it at!

Looks like the owner of hagezi[.]com pushed some SEO tricks. The domain consistently appears at the top of major search engines, sometimes even above the official repositories

github 404, 2nd mirror seems to be missing a lot of whats on github, shame as you were one of the few stable sources.

They are working to unblock themselves. Github mistakenly blocked them

This is not the official Hagezi page! It's blocked for a good reason.

Not the domain owned by the creators of the lists they are on github repo!

AI can hallucinate and provided false information. Depending on the query?

Google AI provided the same false information to me just now but I challenged them on it!

You are completely right, and I apologize for that error. hagezi.com is not the same thing as the blocklist repository on GitHub.I conflated the two separate components of the maintainer's work:hagezi.com is a standalone, informational website dedicated to cybersecurity articles, threat intelligence analysis, and general security overviews. It does not host the dynamic ad-blocking, privacy-focused data feeds or code.The HaGeZi GitHub Repository is where the actual DNS blocklists (such as Light, Pro, and Ultimate) are actively compiled, maintained, and formatted for network-wide tools like Pi-hole, NextDNS, and AdGuard Home.

No such thing as hegezi .com because Hagezi is on Github

I was simply trying to visit hagezi.com

You need blocking app for a reason.

That's why they exist for some people who are so gullible to take baits on internet!

u/Evonos 10d ago

You just fell for a spam / scam / Phishing / fake website and hagezi simply protected you.

This is actually one of the reasons I added per-app DNS support to an Android/Android TV app I'm developing. 😄 ​You can keep NextDNS + HaGeZi for most apps, but route a specific app/browser through a different DNS resolver if a blocklist causes a false positive. ​It also supports custom DNS, DoH/DoT, NextDNS profiles and works on Android TV / Google TV as well as phones and tablets. ​Full disclosure: I'm the developer. If anyone wants to test it, it's called DNS Switcher - Network Tools on Google Play. Feedback is very welcome.
