What lists do Proton VPN's Netshield use?

Questions

  1. On the VPN Services page, there is no criteria that is even remotely related to these lists or DNS filtering.

  2. Most people here probably use a browser that has built-in content filtering, which combined with NetShield is probably sufficient.

  3. These lists and DNS filtering still rely on badness enumeration.

For business suite users they do allow using a custom DNS server for quite a while already: Proton for Business plans and pricing | Proton for Business (search for custom dns)

I just noticed this on the NetShield help page: How to use NetShield Ad-blocker | Proton VPN

Glad they finally made the lists they use public. Still beyond annoying they refuse to support custom DoH or DoT server options.
