Avoiding Agoga


I'm a sloppy typer, so I'm often finding myself looking at a page I don't like - Agoga.com. To block this, I've setup an outgoing rule in my firewall to reject request to it's ip: 72.51.27.58.

Bye bye agoga.

Another thought, I could imagine a block list for avoiding useless, fake websites like sedo and friends. Something similar to Dan's Guardian or similar. A quick look over their site does indicate that they are using DNS block lists.

You can use OpenDNS.com to automatically correct .cm types back to .com unless you are trying to visit a real .cm website.

I've had spotty success with this, but it might be worth a shot for you.

Hi Rob, I like the idea behind opendns, but I'm wary of a filtered DNS system. I may eventually try to setup a mydns + dnsmasq private equivalent of opendns though, thanks for the idea.
