## Blocklist source
For the public beta release, blocklists are sourced from the [notracking project](https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists) on GitHub. These lists are gathered from multiple, actively maintained sources and automatically updated, cleaned, optimized and moderated on a daily basis. A complete list of sources is available [here](https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists/blob/master/SOURCES.md).
## Updating lists
The notracking project maintains two blocklists; hostnames and domains. These are updated daily, so it's a good practice to refresh them periodically. You can do this from the **Ad Blocking** management page in RaspAP. Simply select the list from the dropdown and choose 'Update now'.

## Enabling logging
By default, DNS logging is disabled. Enable it on the **DHCP Server > Logging** tab by selecting the **Log DNS queries** toggle. **Save settings** and **Restart Ad Blocking**. The **Logging** tab on **Ad Blocking** will display the blacklisted DNS queries with host addresses of `0.0.0.0`. A sample of blocked ad/tracker requests is below.
