New Script Enhances Privacy, Security, and Data Protection for Users

Privacy Blocker: Elevating Digital Privacy and Security

Privacy Blocker is a custom-built PowerShell script created by oğulcan that focuses on enhancing privacy and security by blocking telemetry data and specific IP addresses. This tool aims to prevent the collection and transmission of sensitive data, giving users more control over their digital privacy.

Privacy Blocker offers an easy-to-use solution for blocking various telemetry and tracking domains. By running a single PowerShell command as an administrator, the tool automatically adds entries to the host file, improving privacy and security. This process effectively stops unwanted data collection and tracking, empowering users to have more control over their online activities.

Usage

To use Privacy Blocker, open PowerShell with administrator privileges and run the script using the following command:

irm "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/oqullcan/Privacy-Blocker/main/PrivacyBlocker.ps1" | iex

As the script runs, users can see exactly what actions it is taking, including any failed actions highlighted in red. Privacy Blocker efficiently manages and refreshes the host file on the system, blocking designated domains and preventing connections to those specific domains, thus enhancing data protection against intrusive trackers.

Privacy Blocker supports both IPv4 and IPv6 entries, ensuring that domains are blocked regardless of their IP version. This feature provides robust protection against a wide range of trackers, enhancing user privacy and security.

Additionally, Privacy Blocker utilizes the Windows Firewall to block specified IP addresses. Even if a domain attempts to bypass the host file, it will still be blocked by the firewall, further enhancing overall security.

Key Features of Privacy Blocker

• Cleans and updates the host file to block specified domains.
• Supports both IPv4 (0.0.0.0.0) and IPv6 (::1) entries to block domains.
• Blocks specified IP addresses using Windows Firewall.
• Includes comments for each blocked entry for easy identification.

Important! If your host file already has many block lists added, please remember to backup your host file to ensure its safety!
