Is avast making use of these whitelists?

L.S.

This is the whitelisting collection I got back when searching in relation to the avast webforums,
using Intelligence X search-engine:

Full Data

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anudeepND/whitelist/master/domains/referral-sites.txt

Anyone to comment? Certain services won’t play without whitelisting according to these lists.
Questionable, see this random example: https://intelx.io/?s=go.redirectingat.com
Consider for instance: https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/issues/1950
& this generates a new badbots line (could update gen_badbots with it),
wget -q -O- “https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mitchellkrogza/apache-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker/master/_generator_lists/bad-user-agents.list” | uniq | sed -e ‘s/\ / /g’ | sed -e ‘s/([.:|()+])/\\1/g’ | tr ‘\n’ ‘|’ | sed -e ‘s/|$//g’ (resource info credits
go to: thezoggy (mitchellkrogza’s bad bot blockers) & https://github.com/hectorm/hblock
