AdRules is a collection of ad-blocking rule sets and DNS filter lists designed to identify and block malicious domains, trackers, and PCDN services. It functions as a DNS sinkhole filter and a malware domain blocklist used by DNS servers and network proxies to stop advertisements and harmful content from loading.
The project provides regional network optimization, utilizing rule sets tailored to specific geographic regions, languages, and mobile device conditions to target local advertising networks.
The system covers DNS traffic filtering and malware domain blocking through suffix-based domain matching and rule-based pattern matching. It integrates curated filter lists to intercept network requests and block access to known advertising and tracking domains.
