Title: Reporting:Unbound DNS - Details - not showing blocklist
Post by: JDabbs on January 25, 2026, 07:33:24 PM
I'm running the latest version OPNsense 25.7.11_2

Checking Reporting: Unbound DNS - Details to see what's begin resolved or blocked, the details tab now shows "default" in "Blocklist" column. This is the name showing under the "Description" under Services: Unbound DNS: Blocklists.

However I'm sure until recently before 25.7.11 it used to show the name of the actual block list such as (from memory) SteveBL so it was easy to see which actual list was blocking the URL.

I can understand that given the recent change to the Services: Unbound DNS: Blocklists structure why it's working like this but it makes it hard to fault find. Bizarrely clicking on the gear icon "Commands" in the Reporting Unbound Details panel brings up a dialogue box which shows exactly the blocklist that blocked the URL, so the system knows.

Is it possible that this is an oversight and could the previous functionality be re-instated in that it displays the actual name of the block list rather than the description. It could show both which would assist in fault finding if there are several blocklist groups configured.

Please be careful reading the above as Opnsense appears to nest blocklists into blocklists now (ie uses the same name for what I would consider a block list into a blocklist group) Using this nomenclature I would say the Unbound Details panel is showing the blocklist group where it previously showed the blocklist name.

Has anyone else noticed this behaver and have I missed a simple solution apart from clicking the gear icon against each line in question?
