> crash dumps being sent
Crash dumps can contain highly sensitive info. I have blocked Crashlytics[0] and Sentry with my pi-hole so nothing gets sent. I'm starting to believe these tools are abused and not even used to improve services. They're basically a MITM so people can violate other's privacy.

- obituary_latte 4y agoCan the same be done with hosts file (block crashlytics/sentry?) for those of us unable to use pi-holes at work? edit: it looks like it is working, but unknown if there are any negative side-effects at this point. └─[$] <> ping sentry.io PING sentry.io (0.0.0.0): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Socket is not connected ping: sendto: Socket is not connected Request timeout for icmp_seq 0 ^C --- sentry.io ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
- beauHD 4y agoYou can block the root, but usually the domain contains random (unique) strings as a subdomain, so you need to wildcard block it, which pi-hole supports.
- obituary_latte 4y agoThanks. Bummer, I figured they probably didn't use the root domain but some amalgamation of letters/number/sub-domains. I have a pi-hole at home which has been working great for 3+ years now, but I mostly run objective-see stuff on my work machine.
