Title: How to Ads blocking like PiHole with OPNSense?
Post by: Stonehenge on June 11, 2023, 10:28:43 PM
Hi,

Imitating a co-worker with his Raspberry Pi + PiHole, I have reproduced the same using PiHole on Debian. I would like to go further than a DNS sinkhole, I read that pfBlockerNG + pfSense would even be better.

Then I learnt about the controversies around pfSense vs OPNSense. Can you please suggest a solution for ads blocking with OPNSense? The goal is to repurpose the computer I am using at the moment for the PiHole server to install OPNSense + something to do ads blocking.

I am sure there is a world of cool things once I have a firewall to play around. But for now ads blocking is the feature I am looking for.

AdGuard Home works great and has a nice UI. It's in the community plugins collection.

In OPNSense documentation, section Community Plugins (https://docs.opnsense.org/plugins.html). I don't see any mention of AdGuard Home. Doesn't that mean this is an unsupported plugin?

Wandering around some reddit posts, someone also suggested Zemarmor (Sensei) (https://docs.opnsense.org/third_party_plugins.html#sunnyvalley)  as an ads blocker plugins.

For now I am just discovering the OPNSense ecosystem, didn't read any of the documentation yet. Can you please help me to fast track a bit? AdGuard Home  vs Zenarmor, which one is more popular?

Zenarmor is an IDS/IPS. I generally avoid this type of software and prefer simpler solutions.

The community plugin repo announcement is here:

AdGuard Home has its own UI. Setup wizard at http://<ip of your OPNsens>:3000, IIRC.

Then you need to configure DNS so AGH is actually used.
