Title: 20.1.4 plugin: unbound-plus DNSBL
Post by: dinguz on April 09, 2020, 08:15:42 am

I am trying out the blacklist feature, but how can I verify it is actually working? I have increased the log level and enable query logging, but am not sure what to look for.

Also, do I need to enable both 'type of blacklist' and 'URL of blacklist' for blacklisting to work?

You can login via CLI and check the content auf blacklist, then try to resolve a domain listed there

less /var/unbound/etc/dnsbl.conf

In URL of blacklist you can enter your own list or a custom one not available in the dropdown menu.

It looks like hphosts ad_servers.txt (and possibly the others?) is no longer actively being maintained and has been taken down:

Pi-hole is also removing it from their default configuration as well. Just a heads up in case you want to remove it from the next update. :)
