Thank you for your reply.  I took a quick look at the Sensei feature page and I see information about "Cloud Management", "Cloud Web", etc. 

If I understand this correctly, having to use a cloud-based service with a firewall could be a potential security hole.

I will research the pihole option.

General Discussion / Looking to install OPNsense and Ad blocking.

« on: February 12, 2021, 05:37:00 am »

Hello,

I am looking to install OPNsense as my firewall here at home.  One thing that would really be nice would be able to block ads that come into my local, home network.

With that said, I have a few questions!

* Does ad blocking with OPNsense require a separate module, or another computer?
* Is there a way to block ads within OPNsense? (if yes, is it easy to setup?)
* Also, is there a step-by-step guide available to walk someone through configuring the firewall to block ads?

Thank you!
