Script to add YouTube Ads DNS to Pi-hole blacklist

If you used my script before.

Please wipe your blacklist by sudo rm /etc/pihole/black* or use the command sudo pihole -f
because my previous development caused to block the youtube video itself
The new script has been working great for me for the last couple days

It will get the black.list from my Github which is updated daily or every two days
It will update both the black.list and blacklist.txt files where the blocking of pihole happens
It will remove any duplicates

it will be more effective if you add it the crontab

Steps:

1- Download the script from github using this command :

git clone https://github.com/kboghdady/youTube_ads_4_pi-hole.git

cd youTube_ads_4_pi-hole

sudo chmod a+x youtube.sh

2- Create a scheduled task to run the script:

sudo crontab -e

Add this line to make it runs every 12 hour, but you can change it to whatever you like

0 */12 * * * sudo /home/pi/youTube_ads_4_pi-hole/youtube.sh >/dev/null

Where the script location is /home/pi/youTube_ads_4_pi-hole/youtube.sh
