# Allow-List

A Pi-hole allowlist for domains that break streaming services and other sites when blocked.

## Usage

Add the raw `allow.txt` URL to Pi-hole as an allowlist subscription (Pi-hole v6):

1. Go to **Lists** in the Pi-hole web UI.
2. Paste the URL below into the address field.
3. Click **Add allowlist**.
4. Run `pihole -g` (or **Tools → Update Gravity**) to apply.

```

```

## Format

`allow.txt` has one entry per line:

| Entry | Matches |
| --- | --- |
| `peacocktv.com` | That exact domain only |
| `\|\|thepiratebay.org^` | The domain and all of its subdomains (Adblock syntax, Pi-hole v6 only) |

Regex entries such as `(\.|^)example\.com$` won't work in this file. Pi-hole treats them as invalid domains and skips them. Add regex entries in the web UI under **Domains → Regex allow** instead.
