sudo maza startLike Pi-hole but local and using your operating system.
Simple, native and efficient local ad blocker. Bash script compatible with MacOS, Linux, BSD and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
maza update sudo maza start sudo maza stop maza status brew install gnu-sedThen you do this.
curl -o maza https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanrax/maza-ad-blocking/master/maza && chmod +x maza && sudo mv maza /usr/local/binOptional but recommended, make a backup of your hosts file.
sudo cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.backupOpen your cron.
crontab -eAdd the following line at the end.
@daily maza updatesudo rm /usr/local/bin/maza && sudo rm -r ~/.mazaBy default the Yoyo DNS list (Peter Lowe) is used. If you want to use another list, like Steven Black's for example, you must modify the variable in line 7.
It would go from:
URL_DNS_LIST="https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?showintro=0&mimetype=plaintext"To the following:
URL_DNS_LIST="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts"Unfortunately the hosts file does not support sub-domains (wildcards), which is necessary to correctly filter all DNS. You will need to install locally a server for that purpose, Maza supports the Dnsmasq format.
maza updatebrew install dnsmasqEdit the file.
/usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.confAdd the following line at the end.
conf-file=(your user path)/.maza/dnsmasq.confExample
conf-file=/Users/myuser/.maza/dnsmasq.confStart DNSMASQ.
sudo brew services stop dnsmasq
sudo brew services start dnsmasqDelete the list of macOS DNS servers and add the 3 addresses. The first one will be your local server, and the other 2 belong to OpenDNS, which you can use any other.
