In addition to blocking hosts, domain blocking gives us the ability to use wildcards with `dnsmasq` to block an entire domain (for example, `baddomain.org`) with a single rule. This includes all known and unknown subdomains, such as `*.baddomain.org`. Domain blocklists are provided by the [OISD](https://oisd.nl/) project. Similar to hosts lists, these are continuously updated and curated into several lists: Small, Big and NSFW. Refer to the [OISD](https://oisd.nl/) project for an explanation of these lists.

## Updating lists
The notracking project maintains two blocklists; hostnames and domains. These are updated daily, so it's a good practice to refresh them periodically. You can do this from the **Ad Blocking** management page in RaspAP. Simply select the list from the dropdown and choose **Update now**.

Next to the update button, a gear icon :fontawesome-solid-gear:{ style="color: var(--md-default-fg-color--light)" } will appear to indicate that the selected list is being downloaded. Thereafter, a timestamp after each list will indicate when it was last updated.

To apply the latest blocklists, be sure to **Restart Ad Blocking**.
