2021-2022 lists of domains and IP addresses to block any kind of malware, spyware, botnets, etc? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My question is already in the title, but well to be super clear, comprehensive lists, updated regularly and free.
I used to work in IT way back, updating iptables with some of those lists, I would like to test in android with what is available nowadays.
I remember there were many websites that offered comprehensive lists based on different criteria, I am so rusty that I can't find nothing besides some lists hosted in github.
Of course I want to test in my androids.
Also if you have suggestions of some iptables kind of app for rooted devices (actually using VPN no root firewalls)

In the past I used pfsense (a GUI for iptables) and spamhouse blocklists but now it's not free, I found this looking for alternatives www raedts biz/security/recommended-blocklists-for-pfblocker-pfsense/ that are raw IP CIDR lists but looking in it I found a copyright 2003-2020 maybe are not really maintained, anyway these list are used to protect servers, would be good to find something more related to Android.

[Q] Running VBA code within Android a possibility?

Before starting a new thread, I used the search function and looked through the "check these threads before starting a new one" listed threads but didn't find an answer. If this has already been addressed, my apoiogies.
My company uses Excel spreadsheets with custom Visual Basic macros that I have written when we test medical imaging equipment. I would love to use a Tablet for this but Dataviz states "that code type is not supported by handheld platforms, so Documents To Go cannot execute the VB code necessary to use those features. "
Is this an accurate statement? I don't know enough about Android yet to know whether it is correct or if this is perhaps outdated information. The statement was made in June of 2010.
Is Visual Basic totally imcompatible with Android or is there hope that custom macro enabled Excel spreadsheets may work in the semi-near future?
Thank you in advance for any information you give me.

[Wiki] Please Contribute to NookTabletDev.org

Introduction​
As you all may or may not know by now, one of the biggest things that I believe in is a completely open source community, and as I delv deeper into the world of android, I am discovering how a lack of centralized data is causing a lot of headaches and time to be wasted.
Problem​
In the past I have worked a lot on the kernel, and building mods for the nook table (trying to get kexec working) with some failure and some successes, however the one thing that I noted more and more was how much people repeated the same process. One thing I started to do when it was just Nemith Indirect and myself, was keep a Guide post, so that every one had access to the information. However as the community grows, I am unable to keep up with all that is happening.
Solution​
In order to remedy this I (along with dj_segfault) have created the website nooktabletdev.org in hopes that people will contribute to it. The premiss is that by allowing others to read your guides, you will aid in the creation of future roms and such on other devices, and this one.
Information and Features​
What to post:
Guides (extencive from building a kernel module to what repo to sync for CM7)
Compiled modules
Kernel configs
In the future I plan on adding:
File hosting capabilities, and linking along with change logs for Nook Tablet Roms
Git repos for community development
What should not be posted:
Anything that is not useful or pertaining to the Nook Tablet
EXPLOIT Explanations (trying to stay away from letting TI or BN patching)
Questions (Thats what these forums are for)
FAQs:​
Why not use the XDA Wiki?
This wiki is used more for common knowledge and facts pertaining to hardware and current events on a device. nooktabletdev.org plans to be the overwhelming easy to search data base that will contain all of the knowledge on there plus more.
I found this awesome article on <insert topic>, can I copy it there?
Should be no problem but check with the copywrite rules of the source, and always make sure to source it so that it may be referenced against.
I want to help with the wiki!!!
Register on the wiki, and you can immediately add data (although it will be monitored closely).
If you wish to become a mod or be an admin please PM me or dj_segfault
I want to add something but I'm not sure if its useful?
PM, or hop on irc, and we can help you find out its usefulness. If all else fails just post it. We can always delete it later. MAKE SURE TO SEARCH BEFORE POSING TO AVOID DUPLICATES.

Trigger reverse wireless charging without root

Hi. Just to preface that I'm not a developer and lack quite a bit of knowledge on app development.
I'm looking at a way to enable reverse wireless charging on a Samsung S20 Ultra so I can use it in automation apps like Tasker. Currently, Bixby routines doesn't allow it.
I've tried apps that monitor and trigger Intents and Activities but that's not working either.
Is there a way to achieve this?
Even if I'm using the android studio to make a simple app that toggles the reverse wireless charging. I'm not sure what libraries to import as this isn't a standard stock Android feature.
Ideally, I'd like the app to work for all the phones that have reverse wireless charging like Samsung/ Xiaomi/ OnePlus.

Android QR optical scanner - auto open browser if QR code contains URL

I am new to this so please be gentile
I have purchase an optical barcode scanner which runs off of android.
So i doesnt scan using a camera. Currently when it scans a barcode or QR code it simply returns the product data.
What i really need it to do is if the QR code contains a URL, it auto opens it in the browser on the handset (which is basically like an android phone with chrome installed)
I only have access to a few settings on the handset but i think i have access to the android coding to allow me to tell it to carryout certain actions.
By default it is set to "keyboard output mode", so i changed this to the other option of "Intent output"
This has two settings i can change:
The first is titled "Intent action" and contains the action: android.intent.ACTION_DECODE_DATA
I can edit this field
The second is titled "Intent extra string" and contains the action: barcode_string
I can also edit this field
I wondered if i could change the code in one of these fields to tell the device to open a URL in the browser if a URL is found when scanned?
Thank you in advance for any input.
I have tried adding all sorts of different code but am totally new to android and also not sure how the device is set up in the background.
I thought something like the below may be what i need but not sure how to input it into the devide
Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);i.setData(Uri.parse(url));startActivity(i);
