20.7 Legacy Series / Adblocking: is it still in beta?
« on: November 14, 2020, 08:08:15 am »
I've tried to set up adblocking within OPNsense, as a replacement for Pi-Hole, but came across some issues which have been addressed here already as well:
- not working;
- list are not updated; you have to set a separate cron job for it (and in my case it still didn't work);
- need to reboot first;
- lists are only updated if you untag enabled.
etc.
Is my perception that adblocking on OPNsense is not yet mature enough to use it?
I encourage adblocking within OPNsense as it would simplify my network and, in principle, it should be slightly faster.
If it should be able to proper use adblocking on OPNsense: what is the correct way to set it up? Which steps have to be taken?
