To customize the blocklists you would need to be a “Premium” subscriber. Here is a bit more info on using the iodé app (including how to add custom addresses): [iodé app - iodé](https://iode.tech/documentation/iode-app/)

In addition there is this page, which is lower level explaining how the blocker works:

How do I create my own list?

Par exemple: “[https://sebsauvage.net/hosts/hosts](https://sebsauvage.net/hosts/hosts)”

I’m a premium user.

Thank you

OK I understand better, you would like to add an additional block list (sorry I didn’t understand before). As @AlphaElwedritsch mentions, it isn’t possible at this time, but I submitted a feature request: [iodé blocker: add custom block list file (#33) · Issues · ota / issue-tracker · GitLab](https://gitlab.iode.tech/ota/issue-tracker/-/issues/33)

In the documentation I read that it is possible to add a customized list:

Blocking Databases

Database Sources

…

The blocker offers different levels of blockings:

- Complementary Blockings: Options to block adult content, unethical social media, and **customized lists (avancé) défini par l’utilisateur.**

If you long press on this “customized blockings”, it allows you to add _individual rules_ one at a time, including a wildcard or a regular expression. So it is about using these _individually added rules,_ not about adding a _list of rules._ But as noted, I think it would be a good feature to be able to add a full list as you request, that is what I suggested on the feature request.

Sorry I was simply wrong. An internet address cannot be added as a custom source as the original poster inquires about, but adding a local custom blocking list is possible: “iodé app \> Settings \> Custom blockings \> 3 dots \> Import”. In order to put your list into a format recognized by the blocker, you can “backup” your current blockings to reference the format.
