NSFWarden - Small python script which tails Pi-hole logs and notifies via slack when someone visits NSFW website on the network reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rrrmmmrrrmmm · 2023-10-20 08:30 Wtf? **_WHY?_** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aadityajoshi151 · 2023-10-20 08:32 Why not? Can be useful to know what people are secretly doing on my network. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- autisticit · 2023-10-20 08:43 So, if someone browse this reddit thread, will it be reported? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vixfew · 2023-10-20 08:43 > Why not? Snooping is bad if you want people to use/trust your service. And, well, anyone who cares about privacy will use VPN for spicy websites anyway ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SchmeepyDooDoo · 2023-10-20 08:56 Iiiii do not like this. This feels very invasive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cylian91460 · 2023-10-20 08:57 We don't need to restrain the internet from the user, we need to restrain the number of users. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vardai · 2023-10-20 08:58 Some prude weirdo trying to force their beliefs on others. Seek help, mate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aadityajoshi151 · 2023-10-20 09:01 I agree with what you said about VPNs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aadityajoshi151 · 2023-10-20 09:03 No. It matches DNS queries against a list of popular websites. This thread does not come under that category. I marked it as NSFW because of the nature of the post. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Toutanus · 2023-10-20 09:11 To discover new websites for sure ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Switchblade88 · 2023-10-20 09:32 I ain't no narc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- muedee · 2023-10-20 09:34 Be careful in which country you are deploying this. Even when used in private household, it could still be a legal issue if you don’t notify your users/guests when you are doing some sort of inspection. 🧐 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- trxxruraxvr · 2023-10-20 09:45 It also only works if they use the DNS settings from the network. If they use their own DNS or any other public DNS it won't show up in the pi-hole logs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UnwindingStaircase · 2023-10-20 09:58 I hope you’re at least up front with your users that you are monitoring them. If not this is really kinda sketchy and scummy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ex1tiumi · 2023-10-20 10:33 You don't have to do Big Brothers work for him, we're swimming in surveillance already. Use your skills for something useful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vikz91 · 2023-10-20 10:58 This can be used for parental control. Privacy requirements is debatable. I dont see why people are getting offended though. Can you create this for people who spit nsfw from mouth though 😂 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- crusader-kenned · 2023-10-20 11:06 Why would any sane person want to know anything about what other people do with their own devices? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- candle_in_a_circle · 2023-10-20 11:22 Posting a censorship tool for for open source privacy software on a libertarian-leaning social network. It’s a move, I’ll give you that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tankerkiller125real · 2023-10-20 12:38 If your concerned about parental controls then just block the sites all together... After all that's the purpose of a Pi-Hole. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vikz91 · 2023-10-20 12:53 Yeah that works but If I want to know if anyone else in my wifi zone is trying to access it without restricting them, pihole wont help. Now why I would need to know that is an entirely different question altogether. It would feel like I am trying to find a problem for a solution 😂 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- literal_garbage_man · 2023-10-20 13:26 OP is a pervert sysadmin and wants to know what porn sites his sister is viewing. Thanks for sharing for us perverts to pervert together, OP! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- cartman-unplugged · 2023-10-20 14:20 OP wants to know who is horny in his network, so he goes and gives them the relief needed 💦 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dozores · 2023-10-20 14:31 I mean this is a complete invasion of privacy and can be illegal in some places. I dont know if this is because of your kids or your family as a whole or what but why would you want to know when one of your family members is about to choke the chicken ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rrrmmmrrrmmm · 2023-10-20 14:37 I'm sorry that you had to see this _on your cake day!!!_ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rrrmmmrrrmmm · 2023-10-20 14:38 OP could just kindly ask ---------------------------------------------------------------------- compdude420 · 2023-10-20 16:15 Aside from all these comments, Great job! I can se a use case for this! And everyone else, don't connect to the network if you are afraid of watching porn on it duh. This does seem useful for sure In households with your kids. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DoTheThingNow · 2023-10-20 18:03 Little Brother wants to help though... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Large_Yams · 2023-10-20 18:38 Narc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kmisterk · 2023-10-20 18:52 ## Post Removed Hey, Aadityajoshi151!
