What are the most common dangerous domains that I should block?

Question

I am trying to configure my wireless router to block domains that are potentially dangerous to privacy, security, and bandwidth-hogs. Is there a list of domains that I can block at the router level? On a machine level, I have set the hosts file from www.mvps.org and that works on my machine. However, I want to implement something at the router level too - so that all computers in my household are somewhat protected.

Answer 1

Consider an OpenDNS setup to start with

• List of Black Listed Domains: Known Scam Sites
• Blacklist Compared, and the lists
  • www.rfc-ignorant.org/
  • www.spamhaus.org/
  • www.dnsbl.sorbs.net/
  • spamcop.net/bl.shtml
• DNS Providers Blacklist -- probably not for you (just a reference)
• Blacklist Check -- may be interesting too
• NetworkWorld article DNS 'blacklist' unveiled
  that is just a further-reading reference
