my Only disappointment with Opnsense is when buying a new appliance the business license starts from the day of your purchase:

I did not realize this on my 2nd appliance and will be losing 3-4 months of the latest license.

  when I setup the new appliance, I used my previous business licensing thinking I could then use the full new license when it expired. when it did expire and I put in the new key it showed I had 9 months remaining..

I then read the email from the appliance purchase and it said it started day of purchase.  live and learn

top right.  make sure you click community plugins

Updated to the latest business edition yesterday

Noticeunbound blocklist parsing done in 13.18 seconds (512317 records

as a current owner.  wow that is kinda crazy

its labeled as malware ip with an alternate dns tool.

I noticed this as well.    if you were having the issue you probably found the issue in the forums. and the admins post for the fix

I created a firewall alias for both vlans.  limiting the number of devices that can use that vlan.

then firewall rules for which gateway for traffic.


the remaining devices have static reservations (this sounds like more work for you).  depending on the number of devices you have

I then use Kea (I'm sure dnsmasq can do the same)and under subnet uncheck Auto collect option data.   and manually put in the dns servers for the devices I want to change the DNS servers on. 

hopefully I understood your correctly

my business appliance has a small Business edition update as well.  I wondered what it was about

I am a weird one.  rather against installing a lot of plugins.

when I subscribed I opened a ticket and got instructions for manually adding an alias(url table IP) and how to add it as a blocklist to unbound.

--I may have gotten the idea from one of Patricks screen shots of his adguard configuration --

I am not having that issue

Hmm, I would expect blocking a table of IP's would be best performed in PF. I'm not sure how this would benefit Unbound.

I'm not sure what you mean by pf
It's a 75kb app.   I don't think it's that complicated.the only thing I am missing is the widget on the Home Screen

visibility is rather eye opening

I turned off all but Qfeeds blocklist for unbound and turned this off under reporting - settings.   

 I'm forwarding to controld/ nextdns anyways

Thanks for the replies Patrick

I wondered that was well and double checked I didn't.  Unless it's somewhere else than the advanced tab?
