Title: Unbound - Blacklists in General ?
Post by: mfpck on September 05, 2020, 05:04:17 PM
Hi,

I like the idea of blocking on dns level and now I am trying to understand how this is intendent to work here-

Eg. If I just want to use the predefined ones, I simply select eg. all check the enable button and done?
Doesn't look like....so I tried to schedule to download the unblound dsbl predefined ones, still no luck....

Or is it really necessary to extra add the corresponding urls. for the predefined ones as well....I thought its intendent for custom ones....Don't get it  ::)

Thx & Best

How do you figure it's not working?

Well, equal experinces like-

Can somebody confirm the correct usage of the predefined lists in 20.7 ?

Btw. If I add a custom url as a blacklist will it be then part of the predefined download scheduling of unbound dnsbls?

It works for me: I've enabled the three Blocklist.site + Yoyo lists and I checked the file dnsbl.conf and from size of 0 bytes it's now about 11.5 MB

I tried some random 'dangerous' domains from such lists and as expected my DNS cannot resolve those domains and getting a blank page...

Sometimes by clicking 2-3 times on the 'Save' button makes a difference...  8)

Memory usage has increased from 55% to 78% though...

Strange - I will double check that again!
