Description

Hi,

First, as usual, I want to thank you both, DnsCrypt and SimpleDnsCrypt... you guys are heroes!

Second, I have a simple question: I've been using SimpleDnsCrypt for the last two years, without zero problems and zillion benefits. But only days ago I started to use the "Blacklist Rules" section. I already understood I can use "*", however, I wonder if there are another rules or wildcards I can use. And what about REGEXPs?

Third, a humble suggestion: I believe users undervalue the advantage of using "Blacklist Rules" section, compared to the use of hosts file. I know this is not the DnsCrypt' core function, but is a huge bonus! Just by using "*" is possible to reduce a lot the number of entries (compared to hosts file). And if REGEXPs can be applied, then this will be heaven, because this might have the potential of replacing ad-tracker-telemetry-blockers. Anyway, I just wanted to suggest to give a little more visibility/publicity to the "Blacklist Rules" section (perhaps by just adding a simple small paragraph, explainig the comparison with hosts file).

Thanks!
