I know there are a number of pihole users here, but are any of you using the adblock feature built into freshtomato?

 

I've been seeing a lot of malware attempts recently, particularly miners, so I want to block a bunch of stuff at the edge for everyone at home. I'm trying to find a reasonable subset of blocklists to deal with a lot of the common culprits.

 

This appears to be a good crypto mining block list

 

I'm trying out this malware list

 

Any other tips/tricks/guidance.
