URL Shorteners

A comprehensive collection of over one thousand URL shortener domains for various purposes such as whitelist/allowlist creation, blacklist/blocklist implementation, or domain trustworthiness assessment. Trusted by NextDNS, RethinkDNS, ControlD, dnslow.me, and various OSINT projects, these high-quality lists are designed to enhance network security, privacy protection, and reduce false positives in domain risk evaluations. Please use these lists at your own risk.

Keep in mind that the data in this repository will not be updated in real-time, as maintaining the lists requires significant effort. Contributions are welcome - feel free to report missing domains, false positives, or submit a donation to support the project.

Domains that are false positives or were previously used as URL shorteners but are now inactive will not be listed in the list file but will appear in the inactive file.
