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!

Research direction
The issue does not name a documentation file or code entry point. Start by locating the Blacklist Rules help or documentation, then verify which wildcards and REGEXPs are supported before deciding what should be explained. Done means the supported rule syntax and the comparison with hosts files are clearly documented.
