OpenBLD.net outperformed AdGuard, Cloudflare, Quad9 in blocking malware domains!

Background​

Some time ago, OpenBLD.net was added to the URLhaus project. URLhaus is a project operated by abuse.ch with the goal of sharing and preventing malicious URLs that are being used for malware distribution.

The ecosystem of the service, based on the philosophy of blocking internet noise, has demonstrated excellent protection against malicious domains and intrusive ads. 💪

JetBrains, following open source support practices, has supported OpenBLD.net and me this year with a new license.

Starting today, IPv6 support has been added to the RIC OpenBLD.net ecosystem!

Android banking malware Vultur have been spotted adding new technical features, which allow the malware operator to further remotely interact with the victim’s mobile device.

Following recent attacks on one of the hosting providers within OpenBLD.net, I have updated the server topology to optimize content delivery, especially for Apple users.

Now it's can unload existing servers for - Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland..! 🎉
