What Gets Filtered?

• Ad networks and telemetry domains (e.g. DoubleClick, Facebook Pixel)
• Known malware distributors and exploit kit providers
• Phishing domains flagged by industry threat feeds
• Tracking CDN routes used for fingerprinting

Filter Logic

• DNS queries are rerouted internally via EcoVPN’s resolver fabric
• Blocked domains resolve to 0.0.0.0 or custom suppression endpoint
• No third-party DNS resolution - no leak risk from external lookups
• Filters update hourly via encrypted domain push

Managing Your Filter Tier

• Tier 1 users get default community blocklists
• Tier 2 & 3 sponsors can toggle filters, request additions, or submit suppressions
• To customise, go to Threat Settings in your referral dashboard

How to Verify Blocking

• Visit a known blocked domain (e.g. ads.google.com) and verify failed load
• Run dig or nslookup and check suppression IP returned
• Use tools like dnscheck.tools to validate resolver behaviour
