    from the blog in question

    On January 21, commit ^bbf70ec (warning: very large) added gyrovague.com to dns-blocklists, used by ad blocking services like uBlock Origin. This is actually beneficial, since if you have an ad blocker installed, the DDOS script’s network requests are now blocked. (It does not stop users from browsing to my blog directly.)

    can’t find anything from a quick look that confirms this list is used by default in ubo

      I don’t see that particular list, but the same filter is present in EasyPrivacy from EasyList, which is enabled in uBO by default.
