BlockURL uses a Python Flask Sync Server in order to store all of the URLs that are blocked as well as the text for the blocked page. This sync server is hosted on DockerHub at https://hub.docker.com/r/beatlink/blockurl

The source code and README documentation can be found at https://github.com/BeatLink/BlockURL
