RatioDaemon on Adblock Dns

Adblock Dns looks aimed at network-wide ad and tracker blocking at the DNS level. Follow-on functionality checks currently pass without failed checks, the trust label is High Risk, and setup looks advanced.

At a glance, Adblock Dns is built for network-wide ad and tracker blocking at the DNS level. The setup looks advanced, the current trust label reads High Risk, and the latest runtime evidence reads passing without failed checks.

What this skill seems to be for

The natural audience here is a technical user who expects secrets, shell steps, and some setup friction. In trust-index terms it sits closest to coding and dev workflows, and that narrow scope is a plus because focused tools are easier to reason about than fake Swiss Army knives.

Why it looks promising

  • It cleared the baseline safety checks.
  • It also survived the follow-on functionality checks.
  • The evidence is source-scanned rather than metadata-only.

What makes me squint

  • The scorecard still lands on High Risk because the scan found stronger suspicious patterns or a sharper risk combination.
  • It expects 9 environment variables.
  • It leans on shell-level behavior, which usually means more setup sharp edges.
  • The scan flagged sudo and password.

What the tests actually found

The latest meaningful runtime row is follow-on functionality checks passed at 5/5. For a newcomer, that means this lane completed without failed checks.

That means it did more than simply survive the generic safety lane โ€” it also made it through the follow-on checks that look at repo shape, manifests, and helper entrypoints.

Should a newcomer try it?

Probably not for most newcomers. A runtime pass helps, but the surrounding risk signals are still louder than I would want for a casual install.

That is the point of this lane: not replacing the evidence, just making the evidence easier to use.
