Any luck with getting the Shaper works on schedule?

I hope this helps a little  :)

Kind Regards,

Thank you Thomas for your reply.

I used to access it before, but since I applied AdGuard & Webproxy, this ONLY web address stopped working, no Ping/Nslookup response unless I switch to the public DNS (attached)

[Temporary solution]

Temporary solution: (applied on client's pc)

Add the required website public ip to the hosts file on the client pc
In my case (windows):
hosts file located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Adding below line:
153.107.133.75   saml.det.nsw.edu.au

I guess further lines may be required for subdomains. Hopefully a better cure via the firewall shows up!

Hello everyone..

I'm using Opnsense as my DNS server with services (ADH, Unbound {listen port 5353} & Web Proxy) enabled.
Everything works perfect until I realised that only one (so far) website "saml.det.nsw.edu.au" can't be reached (no ping response as well)
I can see it using any public DNS with nslookup, but not Opnsense server.
I thought it's as simple as adding "saml.det.nsw.edu.au" to the Domain Overrides with a public dns but didn't work.
It would be great if someone can help with a simple way to manually add DNS records or forward without the need to setup a vpn.

Thanks in advance!

You can port forward every DNS request to Internet  to AGH :)

Perfect. THANK YOU

Or you use community repo and install AdGuardHome https://github.com/mimugmail/opn-repo

That is actually useful, I am surprised there's no much detailed tutorials about AdGuard on this Forum.

I managed to activate it even with web proxy and both are works great, but I found that a user can bypass AdGuard if manually applied a public dns on his end, although no dns used on the firewall setting except the router_ip. I wonder if there is a way to fix this ..

Thanks in advance

After researching in forum, and based on the advice of some members, I disregarded BIND.

Achieved google safesearch: uploaded the list using Shell, then applying the contents by adding the file path in the advanced section of Unbound (I hope there will be an alternative once this section is discontinued in the future)

Web filtering: works fine using Web Proxy, with no conflict with Unbound

Coming from pfsense, and after days of trying different tutorials on a fresh install, I can successfully do either of the below scenarios but NOT both :-\

- Within BIND, while Google SafeSearch is working, selecting PornTop1M from DNSBL list won't do any change!

- Within Web Proxy, while filtering works perfectly on the selected categories under Remote Access Control List, I failed to get SafeSearch to run through Unbound DNS, and Web Proxy turns off if BIND is enabled.

I don't know what I'm missing, or if there's a better approach to implement both G. SafeSearch & web filtering without using CA.

Thanks for your time & support
