takes notes So would you want just the curated list, or an application that uses said list and provides feedback to the user? Either? Both? Because I've _sort_ of done this on my personal Mac-though for reasons more pertaining to an infrastructure I maintain for a client, scaling this to a type of service wouldn't be TOO difficult.

I want to drop that list into little snitch. In fact, when I install Little Snitch, I want it to ask me "would you like to subscribe to iamdave's list?"

What I want for all these services (Little Snitch, ESET, etc) is an EasyList-like ... list. A community-aggregated and reviewed list of servers that don't merit my connection. I'd pay a monthly subscription fee for that. I'd also like separate lists for * "this wifi is public, be extra cautious" * "this wifi is public, be nice and don't torrent, do backups, etc" * "I'm on a metered connection (e.g. LTE), don't run to…

I’d do a one time fee of $10 or something. But a fee forever is not appealing. I would rather commit to running a certain number of compute jobs a month to trade cpu or storage or whatever. And do that forever. I barter my unused cpu for your whitelist service that aggregates community activity.

I really have no problem with sharing my information openly in cases my presence has an obvious effect on those around me. Letting other cars within a certain radius know where I am seems a reasonable sharing of my information. I would go as far as sharing my intended destination so that some "cloud" some where can better plot my route to minimize traffic for me and others. That said, storing all that information for…

I think the difference is consensual sharing of the information. Many would probably be OK with certain types of information collection, but the way some things are collected without overt notice or consent (Example: Wi-Fi SSID to GPS long/lat pairings on phones) is understandably concerning to some. > If someone can devise a way for me to share my information while controlling how that information can be used later,…

I would pay for such a service as well. In addition to that, I would love if this service would allow companies like Apple and Google to maintains their own lists of IP's and update them regularly, so you can be 100% sure that an IP belongs to them.
