if [ -z "$UA" ]; then
    echo "User Agent environment variable UA missing."
    echo "See, e.g., https://user-agents.net/browsers for examples."
    exit 1
fi

curl -A "$UA" -s https://www.iblocklist.com/lists.php \
    | sed -n "s/.*value='\(http:.*=p2p.*\)'.*/\1/p" \
    | xargs curl -A "$UA" -sL \
    | gunzip \
    | egrep -v '^#' \
    | uniq

updated the script to fake its user agent since iblocklist is blocking curl.
PLEASE USE YOUR OWN USER AGENT STRING, supply it with an env var, e.g., UA='custom ua string' mkp2pblocklist.
choose any from this list: https://user-agents.net/browsers

@jerkstore369: also fixed, long ago actually.

many thx for the update

For whatever reason @glaszig file contains the following:

The Scary IPv4 Internets:0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255
The Scary IPv6 Internets:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000-FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF

I think iblocklist detects its own user agent and returns fake data.

I made an alternative in a GitHub repository.

looked at it. did you change something? the ua you’re using looks pretty normal.

I'm quite sure they blacklist your UA.
Do you try to refresh to a new one?

edit: I'm now getting a random UA user-agents.net, that will be more future proof ;)

curl 'https://user-agents.net/download' -X POST --data-raw 'download=txt&browser_bits=64&brower_type=browser&limit=100' > ua.txt
cat ua.txt | sort -R | head -1

iblocklist has become a bullshit operation with their automation and anti-scrapgin policies. is anybody aware of a better source?
