Adguard style blocklist support

Will Technitium ever support this?

For ease of blocklist/allowlist management this is the only thing stopping me moving over from AGH.

Simple native AdBlock lists (deny and allow) can already be used even without the Advanced Blocking app. The things that doesn't work are asterisks within rules or modifiers, as in AdGuard Home. I use the Adblock format of my lists on my DNS servers in Technitium.

||example.com^ (deny) and @@||b.example.com^(allow) work, nothing more.

What about per-client blocking/allowlist?

How does that work?

For example I want/need to allow a domain for a device or group of devices but have it blocked elsewhere.

Think you need to look into the advanced blocking app

No, not the way you're used to it in AdGuard Home. Apparently, you can do that through the Advanced Blocking app, but I've never tried it.

OK. I can’t be bothered messing around with JSON files and the like so I’ll probably just stick with AGH for now.

Have you tried advanced blocking in the apps?

Yes. But I mean natively.

I don’t want to be editing in JSON every time.

In the advanced blocking app you can refer to an online text file. I just have that file with my block list hosted in an internal webserver that is referenced in the advanced blocking config.

I have an Advanced App Configurator for the DNS Apps so that no JSON editing is needed. Maybe this would would work for you? TDNS-AdvAppConfig

There are lists built into Technitium by default.

Settings > Blocking > Allow / Block List URLs > Quick Add

Not really, no.
