When I tried pi-hole I often noted some urls were added 'automagically' to the whitelist, they will show up a few days after I removed them. All of them were weird domains.

Pi-hole Dev here. The only domains added to the whitelist are the domains on which the source lists are themselves hosted. It's probably complete over-kill, but the reasoning behind it is just in case one list tried to blacklist another. Compare the "automagical" whitelist entries (http://imgur.com/a/rxgsC http://imgur.com/a/rxgsC) to the Default whitelist here: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/adlists.default https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/adlists.defau... Edit: The code that does it: https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/gravity.sh#L257-L266 https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/blob/master/gravity.sh#L2...

  Looks like your comments were getting killed with [dead] automatically. Maybe because of a new HN account combined with linking to the same site a couple times cause it to flag some spam detector? I vouched for your comments so they appear. Thanks for the project!

    Ah! I did wonder what was going on.. :) I've heard of HN before, but never actively participated, hence only signing up today! Thanks for vouching for me :)

      Sorry about that, and welcome to HN! (I'm a moderator here.) You got hit by a spam filter; they're tuned more aggressively for new accounts. We've marked this account legit so it won't affect you again.

  I'd like to know too. The pi-hole dev replied and got down voted to death.

    I think they've got caught in a broken filter. It might be worth emailing mods to let them know. Also, if you click the timestamp you should see a [vouch] link. Clicking that helps too.
