Block Brightdata

[r2fo]

Which domain(s) should be blocked?

brightdata.com (third party only)
brightdata.de (third party only)
bright-sdk.com
clientsdk.bright-sdk.com
perr.bright-sdk.com

Why should these domain(s) be blocked?

Brightdata offers SDK’s for developers to put into their apps. These SDK’s abuse the user’s internet connection and turn it into a proxy. The developer earns money from it.

Edit: I allowed Brightdata to run on my device and I found a few more domains that are used by their SDK (there are redirects to Brightdata.com):

perr.l-agent.me
perr.l-err.biz
clientsdk.brdtnet.com
brdtest.com
brdtnet.com
luminati.io
