Regex Filters for Pi-hole

This is a custom regex filter file for use with Pi-hole v4+ (FTLDNS).

There are also some optional regex filters separate to the main installer that can be added manually (if desired):

• Facebook
• Miscellaneous Items
• User Suggested

All commands will need to be entered via Terminal (PuTTY or your SSH client of choice) after logging in and Python 3.6+ is required.

Add to Pi-Hole

curl -sSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/master/install.py | sudo python3

Remove from Pi-Hole

curl -sSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/master/uninstall.py | sudo python3

Keep regexps up-to-date with cron (optional)

The following instructions will create a cron job to run every monday at 02:30 (adjust the time to suit your needs):

1. Edit the root user's crontab (sudo crontab -u root -e)

2. Enter the following:

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
30 2 * * 1 /usr/bin/curl -sSl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/master/install.py | /usr/bin/python3

3. Save changes

Removing the manually created cron job

If this script is the only thing you've added to the root user's crontab, you can run:

sudo crontab -u root -r

Otherwise, run:

sudo crontab -u root -e and remove the three lines listed above in the install instructions.
