Title: How to monitor Unbound DNS blocklists?
Post by: datenimperator on September 25, 2022, 11:59:05 AM
Hi all,

I was using the DNS blocklist feature of Unbound to save my home lan from ads and other malicious stuff. In particular, I activated the "blocklist.site ads" element.

Seems this overdid it a little. Eg the Deezer client on my Linux PC stated that it was offline every few minutes. Playing songs worked, however. Also, my Smart TV reported it wasn't able to download software updates.

I switched to the AdAway list recently, and the issues went away. Here's my question:

How would I log/monitor blocklist activities in particular? I'd like to keep an eye on blocklisted replies, along with the IP from where the request originated. Simply increasing the Unbound log level quickly filly my HD with GB worth of log data. Too much.

Regards

Christian
