Hello. In one of the dnsmasq filterlists I found that domains redirected
to `#` like `address=/example.com/#`
this is in changelog for 2.80:
Implement --address=/example.com/# as (more efficient) syntactic
sugar for --address=/example.com/0.0.0.0 and
--address=/example.com/::
Returning null addresses is a useful technique for ad-blocking.
Thanks to Peter Russell for the suggestion.
But in man I read:
The special server address '#' means, "use the standard servers", so
--server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/# will send queries
for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4, except *www.google.com which will be
forwarded as usual.
will be forwarded as usual
Do I properly understand that `address=/example.com/#` does literally
nothing? I want to block some websites but redirecting them to 0.0.0.0 is
hosts-way and not so lightweight solution.
--address is something than --server.
apparently the "#" has different meaning those two.
