Yes. I think you did everything correctly. It appears spectrum.net doesn't behave the same in Europe. But you can use my experience with spectrum.net as evidence that eMatrix successfully blocks some Localhost access when this filter list is added.
How to block undesirable Localhost access

Tutorials and Howtos should only relate to developed software, and not to third party applications. e.g.: Don't post a generic Howto for configuring a firewall.

Re: How to block undesirable Localhost access
When I add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBloc ... -block.txt to my uBlock 1.16.4.30 it says the blocklist is using 1 of 1 filters. Don't think the legacy version supports this list?

Re: How to block undesirable Localhost access
Strange how websites behave differently. Is your geolocation traced to Northern America (USA / Canada) or Australia by any chance? [Not that such geolocation used by websites based on your IP address is always accurate] Seems the EU with its many flaws when it comes to many things, at least are not that bad consumer-privacy-protection-wise for the Internet compared to the US or Canada.
Could it be that's the reason some websites like spectrum.net behave differently?
That's a good thing to know.
Just curious, under which category entry does that filterlist appear in your chrome://ublock0/content/dashboard.html#3p-filters.html ?fatboy wrote: ↑2023-10-18, 16:17When I add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uBloc ... -block.txt to my uBlock 1.16.4.30 it says the blocklist is using 1 of 1 filters.
