Want to block all the IPs owned by Google, Facebook, or some other company? Running Linux? Here’s a 1-liner to do just that: bin.privacytools.io/?07f96e5ca

@bash
Safer solution is to get a raspberry pi and install pihole to it. User in that way has more understanding and better preview what is blocked and can always whitelist or block more domains, this script is noble cause for sure but I don't recommend running anything without understanding what it is, especially if it can mess up your iptables.

@nikolal Oh, absolutely. There are safer solutions. And that’s why it has a warning on it that specifically says: “You could easily break your firewall setup if you use this wrong.” and “I only recommend using this if you know what you’re doing.” But I wasn’t suggesting this was the safest solution, only that it’s *a* solution. ;)
