Thx for clarification I think now something might be still broken. After some hours unbound seems to have crashed. There was a problem with unbound being not able to update the blocklists. After that it was impossible to get it started. Only after I deavtivated it, rebooted and then activated the blocklist again it seems up working.
But now I am afraid it might just crash again.

I tried now really long and hard to get a single domain to the blocklist. I am really surprised that it's so hard next to impossible.
My path so far:
1. I first misinterpreted the area insecure domains wrongly. Adding the domains there had no effect of blocking them. Since i falsely thought i should enter them as regex I crashed my system inbetween.
2. I then read that one can edit the config of unbound directly over ssh. But the files are always restored after reboot.
3. I then read that one can add own configs under /var/unbound/etc/ that are included during start. But restarting unbound just deleted the .conf again and the domain was still not blocked.
4. I finally set up a domainoverride under overrides of that domain to 0.0.0.0. ie. what blocklist is doing anyway.

So it works now. But I found it really strange that there is no option for that under blocklist, plus that all manual config changes don't work at all.

Is there a better way?

I managed to get the backup running via console.

But if anybody has an idea how to set up the blocking correctly I woupd be really happy.

I only wanted to add quickly a bad domain to the blocklist and added .*\.srvtrck.com to the list. After Applying it took long time. This is in my experience not unsual. But after really long time it didn't recover. So I wanted to check whats going on and logged in by accessing via the IP the opnsense machine. Unfortunately 99% ist not working. No dashboard no access to anything. So I thought I reboot the router. But with the same result.

I didn't remember whether I had ssh activated so I gave that a try, but no response. What can I do?

Thanks for the hint. I was afeaid that it wont work globally.

What do you mean with SponsorBlock? The commercials the youtubers make thenself like "blabla this video is presented by super secure vpn service..." ?

That I don't mind either. But if I show my kid some cartoon clips on YouTube I don't want ads to pop up.

For that case I enabled a portfowarding that should redirect all DNS querries to the OPNsense router.

Hi,
I just started using my selfmade OPNsense router. My new network is not deployed yet, but nearly finished.
I am quite happy with unbound and it can act as a direct pihole replacement fo me.

One thing that wasn't working neither with unbound nor with pihole for me is blocking ads inside of the YouTube App.
I wonder whether there is some solution to that. Or whether it's impossible. In the browser I can block ads in YouTube just fine. But in the app on certain devices with no browser it doesn't seem to work.

Gibt es für diese Probleme mittlerweile eine Lösung?
