      for IP blocklists take a look at FireHOL.  They keep a list of all known/popular IP blocklists out there and monitor their age, number of IP's, if they're well-maintained, as well as list overlap (352 blocklists at the time of this post.)

      http://iplists.firehol.org/
      https://github.com/firehol/blocklist-ipsets

      Personally, I simply use their merged lists which combine your spamhaus, tors, dshields, emerging threats, and the like.  Either way, you'll find about 99% of the lists people always talk about.

      firehol_level1
      firehol_level2
      firehol_level3
      firehol_level4
      firehol_abusers_1d
      firehol_abusers_30d
      firehol_anonymous
      firehol_proxies
      firehol_webclient
      firehol_webserver

      DNS and adblock lists

      https://filterlists.com (mixed together unfortunately)  298 lists on this site

      Personally, in the least I use Steven Black's hosts file minimally for DNS blocking since he merges about 20 or so actively-maintained DNS lists and is well-curated.

      I also monitor DNS logs myself because no list out there is entirely geared towards mobile ads and analytics companies- even if they say they try to.

        Thanks for the suggestion. I tried these out, but the level1 list blocks 192.168.0.0/16, which prevents local traffic.

        Edit: God, and the webserver one blocked 8.8.8.8, which is Google DNS…
