add homeUrlMirror or similar

This one will likely be a very narrowly applying issue report, but it's worth a shot. Most likely contingent on #696 being resolved first.

CloudFlare's 1.1.1.1 DNS service, seems like a very probable candidate to be added to FilterLists.com once DNS addresses become eligible to be added as "lists" to the site. However, that service is notable in that it's the only FilterLists-desirable site to currently also have an .onion domain: https://dns4torpnlfs2ifuz2s2yf3fc7rdmsbhm6rw75euj35pac6ap25zgqad.onion. As I used Tor Browser for a few months last autumn to do tests for Tor Redirector List, I can confirm that their .onion domain does work.

As it currently stands, only one URL may be added as homeUrl in filterlist.json. This means that only https://1.1.1.1/ (which is their homepage as well as their DNS server, a rare double-duty among DNS servers) could've been used as homeUrl, and not also https://dns4torpnlfs2ifuz2s2yf3fc7rdmsbhm6rw75euj35pac6ap25zgqad.onion.

The application of homeUrlMirror (or homeUrlAlternateDomain or something like that) doesn't have to be limited to .onion addresses. If another filterlist server turns out to e.g. mirror its non-raw content across two domains, then homeUrlMirror could very well be used for that too.

Hmm, in general, I would say we should decide on a single declarative home url if there seems to be more than one. But, a .onion version definitely seems deserving of it's own spot. I agree.

Yes! FilterLists.com’s very own .onion address - ❤️❤️❤️

@existential-fallacy Now that you mention it, I have been able to not only apply DomainVoider's .onion address as a regular viewUrlMirror, but also to make its subscription button green (since green seems to be one of Tor's signature colours).

On the other hand, the .onion address for iVOID doesn't seem to work, my best guess for why being that its 0xacab project seems to currently be a private project. FYI.

The iVOID repo is currently non-existent. Also they's got SSL going now so https: links function

If we added a new field like homeUrlOnion or similar, would we then want an onion version of all of the other URL types? Trying to think about the best way to apply this without adding a bunch of extra rarely used fields...

[DandelionSprout]

If that's a major concern of yours, it is of course also possible to just use homeUrl2 instead.

We now have a db field for onionUrl for FilterLists. See here.
