Why use Q-Feeds

[OzziGoblin]

Hi, excuse the silly question, but I am attempting to understand why I would look at using the new Q-feeds plugin and hope someone can enighten me.

I've been through the documentation, their website and a good chunk of the forum listed as "Looking for testers Q-Feeds plugin".

Some points to make, I, as I suspect most admins would be using some form of DNSBL, unbound, adguard, pihole.  I'm also using proofpoint and crowdsec block lists, and I'm running IPv6.  Reading the forum posts there isn't much that Q-feeds can do about IPv6, which applies to much of the DNSBL too, and seeing that about 50% of internet traffic is now IPv6. DNSBLs update mostly daily, whereas the free version of Q-feeds is every 7 days. How does using Q-feeds provide any further enhancements from what's already available? 

Thanks

Looking forward to being enlightend

The free tier block lists from Crowdsec are essentially useless. And their lowest paid tier is 93 per month. Not affordable for an individual.

Q-Feeds OTOH is 100 +/- per year.

And they do have IPv6 entries which hopefully will increase in numbers over time. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and bought a subscription. At the end of the period I will re-evaluate how much is caught by free block lists and how much by Q-Feeds.
