Hey! I found that several addresses are vital for Spotify, but also if I add them to the whitelist, I will hear ads. They are:

  • api-partner.spotify.com: if blocked - everything at the Home screen is in a loading state; the Search page won't, Library page contains only placeholders. But I can view and listen to my liked songs and pinned playlists.
  • login5.spotify.com: the entire application doesn't load. After the 30s-60s, it does load but everything is the same as in the previous one, except that in this case I can view and listen to nothing. It would take an additional ~2min to view a playlist, maybe even longer for a song to start playing
  • seed-mix-image.spotifycdn.com: blocks all Mixes images. I reckon this should be added to the whitelist.
  • gew1-spclient.spotify.com: adds some kind of a pause (~5s) before the song starts playing, everything else works.
  • gew1-dealer.spotify.com: same as above. When blocked together they produce the same effect as with api-partner.spotify.com

When everything mentioned above is whitelisted, the application works as expected, but ads are still there.
I hope you can think of something with that info, you've made a good tool so far!

My environment:

  • Windows 11 22H2
  • Spotify of the latest version from the Microsoft Store
  • Regular version of your tool

Were you using mitm.js or index.js?

I was using index.js , couldn't get mitm.js one to work unfortunately. Anyways I already went for a more complicated way - bought myself a Raspberry Pi and now using a Pi-hole
