I'm quite happy with my SOCKS proxy implementation based on an allow list. I rewrote it from scratch to simplify in-memory list management. v0.5 is not released yet; it has a completely different API, and the repository was moved to the organization:

https://codeberg.org/YGGverse/psocks

My lists are here and now include a config file:

https://codeberg.org/postscriptum/psocks-list

I'm happy because this solution blocks up to 90% of unwanted HTTP shit, reduces battery usage by skipping SSL requests to ads providers, and is much more effective than Pi-hole and other hole I've tried - as blocking on pre-DNS stage; I made it specifically to meet my needs and psocks does it perfectly!
