Title: Hi, Question about Ad blocking.
Post by: abidkhan on October 23, 2019, 05:42:13 AM
Hi, First post, just started using opnsense for Home use,
I've been using pfsense in production at work, i also have very limited experience with networks.
just got my hands on a very old centrum gi945 thinclient . so far the basic operation is fine, but ive been looking for adblocking with opnsense,

I have looked at sensei but the basic requirement is 8gb ram and the thinclient only has 1Gb with an atom 270

any suggestions?
thanks.

Dnscrypt-proxy Plugin or wait for unbound- plus Plugin. But you have to Dive in to all the technology :)

Hi thanks, unfortunately i ended up going with Pfsense (which i am already using ) which has the pfblockerNg,

Main reason for the switch was actually being able to install the pfsense i386 only my N270 Atom, latest release ( dtd may 2019 which is outdated already as pfsense as dropped i386 support already)

And the ease of using PfblockerNG in a home environment,

I really want to use OPNsense and hope it is available for ARM based routers like the Orange Pi R1 or Orange Pi R2...

in fact i have Both boards and have been scouring the forum for any link to an image that can be installed on Orange Pi R1 / R2

I have a tiny home setup for which Opnsense is pretty much overkill but i really like its functionality and security.
