Hello,

Existing lists are excellent at blocking pornography and common internet threats. The University of Toulouse 1 (UT1) lists go a step further by allowing more granular filtering, such as Sensitive content or News/Press categories. This is particularly useful for students and educational environments, where balancing open access to information with a safe browsing experience is key.

This PR introduces a set of automated DNS blocklists derived from the University of Toulouse 1 (UT1) public blacklists. These lists are specifically formatted for NextDNS and are automatically updated daily via GitHub Actions.

The bundles group related UT1 categories into logical filters to simplify policy management:

  • Actuality: Combines press, radio, fakenews, and sports.
  • Sensitive: Mature content including agressif, drogue, lingerie, sexual_education, dating, celebrity, and mixed_adult.
  • Financial: Focuses on financial, bitcoin, and cryptojacking.
  • Shopping: Includes shopping, ads, and marketing.
  • Adult: Standard adult category, split into two parts to comply with GitHub's file size limits and ensure optimal processing.

Technical Details

  • Source: UT1 Blacklists
  • Update Frequency: Daily at 02:22 UTC.
  • Format: Domain-based .txt files located in the /dist directory.
  • Automation: Powered by Python and GitHub Actions to ensure zero-day synchronization with upstream changes.

Thank you.
